| description | All people enter organizations with a formed personality and some initial experiences
and values depending on the culture, which will, in turn, influence their efficiency and performance.
Therefore, great attention must be paid to work values of the employees and the issues which affect
them, especially in organizations that are complex in their structure and culture. Today’s dynamic
environment requires organizations to be agile in their processes, with the issue being even more
critical in knowledge-based organizations such as virtual universities. In this research, we identify
the path through which organizations can achieve agility by means of work values. Although there
are many dimensions in work values and organizational agility, using the methodology applied in
this research, we omit some of these dimensions and find the best methods that will enable managers
to wisely invest in the most important issues and get the best results in the path to achieve
agility through work values. |
