Popis: In the field of management the values, attitudes, and beliefs of individuals are significant indicators of high performance and corporate success. What has not been widely shown is that, in the context of work teams, the sharing of values, attitudes, and beliefs are also related to high performance, although there appears to be tacit agreement among writers on the subject of team work that this is so. A study was undertaken to provide evidence by testing the hypothesis that team performance is positively influenced by the extent to which values are shared amongst the members of the team. Kendall's W was calculated for the values of 10 teams, and, within the constraints of the experiment, significant correlations supported the hypothesis; however, confirmatory studies are also required.
