Asian Journal of Scientific Research1992-14542077-2076Asian Network for Scientific Information10.3923/ajsr.2008.265.273OkaforChinwuba 3200813In this study, an attempt is made to
demonstrate the relationship between shared values and organizational
performance. With data from randomly selected companies quoted on the
1st tier of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), this study empirically
established, using the ordinary least square, a positive relationship
between shared values and organizational performance. The practical implication
of this finding is that the value system of an organization impacts positively
on organizational performance. Consequently, the paper calls for an improvement
in the communication and sharedness of organizational values among organization
members.]]>Adebayo, A.,19915713Akhile, E.T.,19894231236Brown, A.,19982nd Edn.,Deal, T.E. and A.A. Kennedy,198319498505Denison, D.R.,19901st Edn.,Erickson, J.A.,20002000Fron, M.R., M. Russell and M.L.
