VALUES OF THE MANAGERS IN MACEDONIAN ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Abstract: Values are the base for understanding attitudes, perception, personality and motivation of individuals affecting their behavior. The system of values determines individual’s priority in accordance with their relative importance.

We should consider that the individual tends through his/her life to keep and to preserve the values acquired from his/her early age. It is about attitudes to values of what is right and what isn’t, what is moral and what isn’t. The attitudes of values are tightly related to the age, or to the period of individual’s growing and his/her building as a person.

This could be a kind of explanation why older generations of employees have different attitude to proper working than the younger generations. All of this could be of help for the managers to be able to predict the attitudes of values according to the age, and these attitudes will be mainly focused to the way of working. They should also be able to direct these attitudes to more general issues related to the company’s working by acquiring support from their employees. Unless the managers fail to implement this in their daily work, the undertaken activities will not be favorable.

The system of values for managers in Macedonia is comprised by their personal values, some of them acquired and some of them could be since the birth therefore she/ he tends to obey them. Personal values determine the person himself/herself, his/her capacity, characteristics, moral and authority. The values, throughout the system of values, could describe anything that the mangers are trying to achieve through their work and their attitude of behavior at work.
