Abstract

In the age of globalization, increasing financial competition and economic recession can create complex ethical challenges, which face organizations’ cultural contexts. The purpose of this research is to develop and test an effective implementation model for training on values in an organization which comprises four steps. The first step is a value-related requirements analysis for the specification of training needs. The second step, conceptualization, starts with a workshop to identify values relevant for training and to collect authentic scenarios with ethical dilemma situations. These scenarios are subsequently developed into case examples. In the third step these cases were realized by embedding them in suitable work-oriented training measures. Finally, in step four, there is an evaluation on the realization phase.
