Summary and Future Outlook

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the main findings of the book and outlines the current state of managers’ behaviour in Slovenia and Austria as well as the impact of personal values on manager behaviour. We briefly outline the central idea of the book, with an emphasis on the development of our new framework for measuring managers’ behaviour and its distinctive features in comparison with the well-known frameworks already in use. Next, the chapter summarizes characteristics of managers’ behaviour and the state of management values in Slovenia and Austria, while the focus is on key findings about the associations between managers’ personal values and their behaviour in organizations from the two countries. The chapter concludes by exploring issues regarding changing values and looks ahead to future perspectives.
