This open access book presents new approaches for researching
values as they are performed or materialized. Values have been an
important topic in academic literature for a long time; they are at
the core of institutional theories and are often connected to
ideals in organisations or ways of valuing. The various
values-constructs are typically highlighted to underpin discussions
of identity, ethos, and the purposive institutional work of leaders
and employees. However, there is a need for more research on how
values link and sustain actions and institutions. Contributors in
this volume map and discuss useful methodological ways in which
values and values work can be investigated and how research on
values has been and can be applied. The chapters present different
methods for collecting data, including interviews, observation and
shadowing, as well as various methods for analyzing data, such as
thematic, discourse and narrative analysis. Chapters also consider
the role of the researcher and participant validation as a
procedure to enhance the trustworthiness of the study. Finally, the
book presents various empirical projects and issues related to and
exemplifying values research. This book is a valuable guide for
researchers and students who are looking for a practical
understanding of how to research values and values work in
organisations. The volume is a follow-up of the open access book,
Understanding Values Work: Institutional Perspectives in
Organisations and Leadership published by Palgrave Macmillan.

At the core of institutional theories, 'values' is a central term
and figures in most definitions; however it remains understudied
and under-explored. The editors of this open access book identify a
resurgence of interest in the values-construct which underpins
discussions of identity, 'ethos' and the purpose/nature of public
and civic welfare provision. Considering the importance of values
and values work to social, material and symbolic work in
organizations, individual chapters explore values work as performed
in organizations and by leaders. Focusing on practices of values
work, the book applies and combines different theoretical lenses
exemplified by the integration of institutional perspectives with
micro-level perspectives and approaches.
