Abstract

Although there has been increasingly more research on congruence of personal and organizational values in recent years, there is a lack of clarity on the hierarchical order in which the value priorities of employees and the organization are arranged in this context. Therefore, the aim of the research presented in this article is to determine the level of congruence/incongruence of personal and organizational values by creating the hierarchies of personal and organizational values. The study involved 303 respondents working in Lithuanian organizations. The survey was performed employing the diagnostic instrument “Questionnaire of Values Congruence and Management Culture (Q-VC-MC-110)”. Value congruence was identified by calculating Tucker’s congruence coefficient and drawing up the lists of values arranged in a hierarchical order. It has been found that even in the presence of significant congruence of personal and organizational value groups, their hierarchical order does not necessarily coincide. The significance of the research results in practice is discussed and guidelines for further research are provided.
