Values in an Australian University. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 180
Value statements are common in contemporary
organisations, but studies of the extent to which
these statements are observed in practice are rare.
Although there have been a number of studies which
have asked academic staff about their values, no
such studies could be found which attempted to track
observance of espoused values. This monograph
addresses that gap. It reports the development of a
set of value statements for the Faculty of Health
Sciences at La Trobe University in Melbourne,
Australia. It then reports on a survey which asked
academic and administrative staff the extent to
which they endorsed the values statements, and the
extent to which those values were observed in
practice. Factors which might inhibit value
observance were also elicited. A particular focus
of the monograph is drawing out the implications of
these findings for management.
