| Summary: | In today's era of rapid changes in societies and increased competition
organizational values cannot remain the same as before because
of demanding work conditions and public expectations. Since
1990, during the period of restored Lithuanian independence, the
essential changes took place in the activity of public sector organizations
in point of view of both management and values. The principles
of management and government, attitude towards work, discipline
and organizational inter-relationship have changed and are
still changing essentially. For our study, we selected three public
sector organizations – the police, school and municipality, because
the changes of values taking place in these organizations should
reflect the achievements and progress of modern Lithuanian society
most clearly. The goals of the current paper are: a) to examine which
organizational features may be perceived as top values for employees
of each organization, b) to examine whether there are some
common organizational features that employees distinguish as most
essential despite the nature of the organization, and c) to evaluate
how different organizational values are rated in each organization.
The results of the study confirmed the hypothesis that all three
organizations should have common organizational values that are
common to all public sector organizations, but at the same time and
solely their inherent values, shaped by the specifics of the activity
and the mission of the organization. |
