“…The Schwartz and Boehnke (2004) values scales were originally validated across 23 samples from 27 countries, demonstrating the strong structural integrity of the scales and applicability across cultures. Since then, their psychometric and predictive integrity have been demonstrated across a number of studies (Zhang et al, 2012). Formalization.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the interaction between personal values and the organizational context in influencing work behaviors. Specifically, it examines the relationships between two dimensions of personal values based on Schwartz’s value theory – self-direction and conformity; and two work behaviors – innovation and compliance. Design/methodology/approach Survey data were collected from 187 employees in Australia. Multiple regression method was used to test the hypotheses. Findings The results showed that organizational formalization moderated the relationship between self-direction values and innovative behaviors. As hypothesized, the positive effect of self-direction values on innovative behavior was strongest in less formalized organizations. the authors also found that conformity values predicted compliance behaviors, but no evidence of moderation by organizational formalization. Practical implications It is important for organizations seeking particular work behaviors to ensure they are hiring employees with corresponding values and structuring the degree of formalization in the organization accordingly. Originality/value This research contributes to the interactionist perspective, demonstrating that formalization interacts with employee values to influence work behaviors. Further, the authors extend previous studies on self-direction values and creative behaviors by understanding how personal values impact innovative behavior.

“…While Hofstede's (2001) concept is better known than others and is more widely used in marketing research, it has been criticized for the characteristics of its sample and for overlooking individual differences within cultures (Gunkel et al., 2016). Schwartz's theory offers new and alternative insights because it shifts the perspective of study from the cultural to the individual level (Zhang et al., 2012). Cultural values are broad goals that members of a society share and are encouraged to pursue (Hofstede, 2001), whereas individual values are abstract goals that act as vital principles that guide people's lives (Schwartz & Bilsky, 1990).…”

The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship of Schwartz's theory of basic individual values to smart shoppers' predisposition to purchase store brands, considering the mediating role of the smart shopper self‐concept and the moderating role of the country of origin. After an initial qualitative analysis, survey data were collected from a sample of 868 shoppers in four western countries (Spain, France, Germany and the United States). Then, a series of statistical estimations was developed through structural equation modelling. The results of these sequential models showed metric equivalence, providing a basis for generating valid comparisons among the four countries. The final findings corroborate the idea that the individual's value structure has a direct and positive effect on the smart shopper self‐concept and that this effect in turn influences the shopper's attitude towards store brands. The results also show that although the dimensions of the buyers' value structures are cross‐country invariant, the set of values that best define smart shoppers differs significantly by country. Mixed results are found when the relationship between the smart shopper self‐concept and the attitude towards store brands is analysed for each individual country. These outcomes offer international retail managers guidance on how to best stimulate smart shoppers' positive responses towards store brands.
