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.

Although the validity of this study is tentative because of its small sample, the results substantiate other studies in suggesting a two-dimensional typology of personal values in management teams: moralistic-humanistic and pragmatic.
