Abstract
This study explored the effect of service tenure on value congruence. 220 managers of the three service tenure categories (1-7 yrs, 8-15 yrs & 16+ yrs) of a large public sector organization were asked to rate 24 items value taxonomy. The values were grouped into higher-order categories based on Principal Component Factor analysis. The composite scores of each of the value factor was computed for personal values and perceived organizational values and the mean of their difference was computed to measure value congruence. The scores were compared across various categories of service tenure to see if there is difference in the degree of value congruence. Results found significant difference in value congruence across service tenure.
