The results of the survey research would seem to be more optimistic and uplifting than we had expected. It turned out that this issue enjoys great interest and there is currently a favourable social vibe for the spreading of management with greater use of (and promotion of) values. This may be a benefit to both the effectiveness of management, as well as the integration of people in the organization and their motivation, while also cooperation with other stakeholders, the realization of the concept of sustainability, organizational vibe and behaviour and the perception of the organization from the outside.

Almost all of the respondents from the private sector acknowledge economic values as at least important. 56% of respondents deem them to be the most important, alongside adherence to the law and ethical norms; whereas in joint-stock companies this percentage is even higher. This is confirmed by the high level of importance of economic values among the total values, which was to be expected.

The group of ethical and cultural values is perceived to be significant and sufficiently displayed in their organizations by 43% of respondents. In joint-stock companies, this indicator is clearly lower (37%), while the highest in the entities of the public sector where it amounts to 51%. This is also a high indicator, although it may certify to the fact that in joint-stock companies the orientation towards profit in some cases pushes non-economic values into the background. Such a conviction also strengthens the analysis of the differences in the perception of the groups of values as follows: competence and developmental, as well as civic and social in joint-stock companies and other entities.

Competence and developmental values are acknowledged to be important by 87% of respondents, of whom 35% state that they are sufficiently displayed, while 52% state that they are insufficiently so. 12% think that in their organizations they are of rather secondary importance (in the opinions of 16% of respondents working there). A large proportion of respondents are convinced that these values require strengthening in their organizations.
