Organization Studies, April 2013, Volume 34, Number 4, Pages 495-5140170-8406http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/8011http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0170840612467155We make the case that there are four distinct forms of organizational values – espoused, attributed, shared and aspirational. These partial, but related forms encompass variation in temporal orientation and levels of analysis. We use these forms to reveal the dynamic nature of organizational values by delineating the evolution of gaps and overlaps between them. We set out a series of propositions, originating from institutional, organizational and managerial sources to explain the nature of movement between these distinct forms of values and the potential implications for organizational behaviour and performance. Finally, we consider the possibilities of this fine-grained analysis of the organizational values concept for future research.enThe final, definitive version of this article has been published in the Journal, Organization Studies, April 2013, Volume 34, Number 4, Pages 495-514, 2013 © SAGE Publications Ltd or Society/Proprietor, 2013 by SAGE Publications Ltd at the Organization Studies page: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/journals/Journal201657 on SAGE Journals Online: http://online.sagepub.com/Article
