PERSONAL, FAMILY, AND
WORK VALUES
A.
Definition
of Personal, Family, and Work Values
1.
Personal
Values
Personal
values evolve from circumstances with the external world and can change over
time. Integrity in the application of values refers to its continuity; persons
have integrity if they apply their values appropriately regardless or arguments
or negative reinforcement from others. Values are applied appropriately when
they are applied in the right area. For example, it would be appropriate to
apply religious values in time of happiness as well as in times of despair.
Personal
values are implicitly related to choice; they guide decisions by allowing for
an individual’s choices to be compared to each choice’s associated values.
Personal
values developed early in life may be resistant to change. They may be derived
from those of particular groups or systems, such as culture, religion, and
political party. However, personal values are not universal; one’s genes,
family, nation and historical environment help determine one’s personal values.
This is not to say that the value concept themselves are not universal, merely
that each individual possess a unique conception of them i.e. a personal
knowledge of the appropriate values for their own genes, feelings and
experience.
2.
Family
Values
Family
values are values supposedly characteristic of a traditional family unit,
typically those of high moral standards and discipline. The values
a family develops are traditionally the foundation for how children learn, grow
and function in the world.
Your family values
definition consists of ideas passed down from generation to generation. It boils down to the philosophy of how you
want to live your family life. Three
traditional basic tasks in life have been described as work, play and love. There are many activities that fall under
these categories that define our values.
All of them are important and it takes work to balance these tasks. However, we often get caught up in work and
other activities and neglect play and love.
Often times we work hard because we are invested in our career goals,
material things and financial rewards.
Yet without a balanced life of incorporating play and having loving
relationships, our lives become stressful, overwhelming and unsatisfying. Traditionally people define their values as
stating that the family comes first, yet they find themselves with very little
time or energy left over for spending time with the family.

organizational behavior, performance of work, productivities and commitment in
organization.
