Values - The Concept
 
Schwartz and Bilsky (1987): "Values are a) concepts or beliefs, b) about desirable end states or behaviours, c) that transcend specific situations, d) guide selection or evaluation of behaviour or events, and e) are ordered by relative importance." (Cited in Agle and Caldwell, 1999: 359).
 
Jacob et al. (1962). As cited in Harrison (1975: 117), values are: "…the normative standards by which human beings are influenced in their choice among the alternative courses of action they perceive." (Jacob et al., 1962: 10)
 
Giacomino et al. (2000) discuss the influence of personal values on business behaviour. Values are particularly important because “They determine, regulate, and modify relations between individuals, organisations, institutions, and societies” (Agle and Caldwell, 1999: 327).
 
Kahle et al. link personal values and social values very closely, claiming that “Values are…integrally connected to social change” and that “…values are individual representations of societal goals. As elusive societal goals change, individuals’ values will sometimes lead and sometimes reflect this change.” (Kahle et al., 1998: 35).
 
Macchiette and Roy also connect personal and social values, referring to “…the 1990s…[having]…witnessed some major changes in consumer attitudes…and product-related values that reflect the heightened influence of social issues in the American marketplace.” (Macchiette and Roy, 1994: 55)
