Abstract
Although there has been considerable attention in recent years given to the personal values of top (central) management, there has been relatively little based upon empirical study. This empirical explor atory study reports an inverted factor analysis approach to developing a personal value typology of a management team of a highly success ful conglomerate. Although the validity of this study is tentative be cause of its small sample, the results substantiate other studies in suggesting a two-dimensional typology of personal values in manage ment teams: moralistic-humanistic and pragmatic.
