value system

Examples of value system in the following topics:

• Value Contradictions

  • An example of conflict would be a value system based on individualism pitted against a value system based on collectivism.
  • Value contradictions can arise between individual and communal value systems.
  • Value contradictions can also arise within individual or communal value systems.
  • Conflicts are often a result of differing value systems.
  • An example conflict would be a value system based on individualism pitted against a value system based on collectivism.

• Ideal vs. Real Culture

  • Any given culture contains a set of values and value systems that determine what is important to the society as a whole.
  • Along with every value system comes exceptions to those values.
  • A realized value system, as opposed to an ideal value system, contains exceptions to resolve the contradictions between ideal values and practical realities in everyday circumstances.
  • The difference between these two types of systems can be seen when people state that they hold one value system, yet in practice deviate from it, thus holding a different value system.
  • Compare the idea of an idealized and a realized value system

• Value Clusters

  • People from different backgrounds tend to have different value systems, which cluster together into a more or less consistent system.
  • People from different backgrounds tend to have different sets of values, or value systems.
  • Certain values may cluster together into a more or less consistent system.
  • A communal or cultural value system is held by and applied to a community, group, or society.
  • Some communal value systems are reflected in legal codes and laws.

• Values as Binders

  • Values and value systems are guidelines that determine what is important in a society.
  • A value system is a set of consistent personal and cultural values used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity.
  • While a personal value system is held by and applied to one individual only, a communal or cultural value system is held by and applied to a community/group/society.
  • Some communal value systems are reflected in the form of legal codes or law.
  • As a member of a society, group, or community, an individual can hold both a personal value system and a communal value system at the same time.

• Defining Values

  • A person will filter all of these influences and meld them into a unique value set that may differ from the value sets of others in the same culture.
  • Sociologist Morris Massey outlines three critical development periods for an individual's value system:
  • Values can strongly influence employee conduct in the workplace.
  • However, hiring for values is at least as important.
  • Define values in the context of organizational ethics and organizational behavior

• Political Values

  • Political cultures have values that are largely shared by their members; these are called political values.
  • A value system is a set of consistent values and measures.
  • This means they vary across individuals and cultures and are in many ways aligned with belief and belief systems.
  • Types of values include ethical/moral values, doctrinal/ideological (religious, political) values, social values, and aesthetic values.
  • A culture is a social system that shares a set of common values, in which such values permit social expectations and collective understandings of the good, beautiful, constructive, etc.

• Comparison of Enthalpy to Internal Energy

  • A thermodynamic system can be any physical system with a well-defined volume in space.
  • Internal energy is a state function, meaning its value is dependent only on the current state of the system.
  • Hence, -q means the system loses heat, while +q means a system gains heat.
  • Similarly, +w means work is done on the system, while -w means work is done by the system.
  • Therefore a positive $\Delta U$ value means there is a net gain of energy by the system, while a negative $\Delta U$ value means there is a net loss of energy in the system.

• Introduction to Systems of Equations

  • A system of equations consists of two or more equations in two or more variables, and solutions must satisfy all equations in the system at the same time.
  • To find the unique solution to a system of linear equations, we must find a numerical value for each variable in the system that will satisfy all equations in the system at the same time.
  • We can verify the solution by substituting the values into each equation to see if the ordered pair satisfies both equations.
  • A solution to the system above is given by
  • An inconsistent system has no solution.

• The Systems Viewpoint

  • Systems thinking is an approach to problem solving that considers the overall system instead of focusing on specific parts of a system.
  • Systems thinking is the process of understanding how people and situations influence one another within a closed system.
  • The end product of effective systems management is synergy, in which the end product has more value than the individual sum of its parts.
  • Systems generally contain the following aspects:
  • Practitioners of systems thinking believe that the component parts of a system can best be understood, and best analyzed, in the context of their relationships with other parts of a system .

• How Values Influence Behavior

  • Values are defined as perspectives about an appropriate course of action.
  • If a person values honesty, then he or she will strive to be honest.
  • People who value transparency will work hard to be transparent.
  • The relationship between values and behavior is intimate, as values create a construct for appropriate actions.
  • A system of punishments and rewards can also help foster the type of values the company wants to see in its employees, essentially filtering behavior through conditioning.
