Values in institutional context

The current article is based on data from two phases of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior (GLOBE) cross-cultural study. The research questions that this paper attempts to explore look at how cultural dimensions and institutional context are connected with values held by top managers. The paper begins with a theoretical overview of the institutional context and values in organizations and cultures. After that a short overview of empirical study and theoretical approach to metrics is given. Finally, the data collected from empirical studies of four countries (Estonia, Germany, Greece and Romania) compared to each other using the metric approach.
