In Personal Values and Performance in Teams: An Individual and Team-Level Analysis, David J. Glew explores how personal values influence both individual and team performance. According to his assertion, “Teams that have a strong alignment of personal values with organizational goals exhibit enhanced cooperation, commitment, and performance.” This highlights the significance of having values that are congruent in order to be able to develop successful teamwork. There was a time when I was a member of a volunteer group, and this brings back memories. The fact that our group’s ideals were not aligned originally caused us to have difficulty communicating with one another and working together. As a result of our efforts to develop common ground through discussions that centered on shared values such as community service and teamwork, our performance improved, which is consistent with the findings shown by Glew. In situations when our individual values were congruent with the mission, we were able to work together more cohesively and accomplish our objectives with more efficiency. The findings of Glew are readily apparent in a number of high-functioning organizations in the modern day, such as Patagonia and Salesforce, which place a great priority on connecting the personal values of its employees with the purposes of the company. Because of this, these businesses frequently experience increased levels of employee engagement and productivity. On the other hand, businesses that have values that are not linked with one another frequently experience significant turnover and disengagement, which demonstrates how important value alignment is for long-term success in their respective fields.
