Businessmen And Business School Faculty: A Comparison Of Value Systems

Abstract

Seventeen faculty members at a European business school scored two values tests, L. V. Gordon's S.I.V. and S.P.V. Their scores are compared to those of 372 executive course participants in general, to those of sixteen American participants in particular, and to those of participants who were rated by the faculty as top performers in class. Results show faculty to differ significantly from participants toward more academic values and less will to manage, and this being a role rather than a nationality difference. Results also show that faculty members evaluate most highly participants with value profiles largely similar to theirs, but higher in ‘Leadership’ and relatively low in ‘Independence’. These data are considered as a demonstration of the type of organizational socialization which businessmen undergo when they participate in a campus course.
