Values are purported to have significant effects on organizational and employee functions. Understanding the link between work-related attitudes and behavior is an important issue that can provide essential insight for the selection of appropriate management practices. In particular, one study of voluntary service organizations (Macy, 2006) suggests that nonprofit organizations depend on personal values for motivation. Although there are many dimensions to values, this research focuses on the dimension of indivdiualism versus collectivism to the degree that it makes assumptions regarding the nature of work and the status of individuals. Tehre are three value perspectives that are the focus of this study: Individual, Collective, and Humanistic. The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of these three value perspectives, how each influences the nonprofit employee to choose to work in the nonprofit sector, and how these value perspectives might in turn influence job satisfaction and future turnover intentions. This research provides important insights on how values alone can impact one's perception of work and influence worker outcomes.
