To truly understand the values, we hold and live by, a candid and honest look at
the way we were raised is essential to identifying the values instilled in us as
adults. It's the first step in. Sometimes there are some beliefs that influence the
way we think. This is a common question people ask at family gatherings. For
example, what do you do for a living? I've seen people react very defensively to
this question. Suppose people have choices in their career paths, and their
choices reflect who they are and what they value. Our experiences and beliefs
are part of what makes us who we are, but they can influence the way we think,
act, and behave. So, it’s important that we develop a self-awareness so that we
can learn to check that this will not happen in the future.

2. Managers plays a vital role in encouraging employees in order to create a

harmony working environment. Nurturing and maintaining values are essential to
a company's growth and stability. With managers credibility in values
management helps employee understand the behavioral expectations of the
company and finding the best help in how to develop skills of their team
members. Since values are a key component of a healthy workplace culture
because they clarify how your organization and its staff should behave. Just as it
is important to be aligned with the organization's purpose, it is also important to
be aligned with its values. Organizations that define true values teach employees
how to align their behavior with what is important to the organization. It also
highlights where individuals may not be keeping up with the organization and
triggers turnover. In another way, defining and communicating values creates
clarity of action.

3. Management style tends towards the paternalistic as is often found in strongly

hierarchical cultures. However, managers need to be aware of certain strong
Filipino characteristics, which underpin personal relationships within. People are
extremely careful to ensure that others do not suffer embarrassment or any
sense of shame (hiya) as a result of their own actions or their inability to meet the
expectations of others. It is considered to be very bad behavior to criticize
another in public, as this is the greatest insult that can be given. To be openly
criticized in public results in a loss of self-esteem and personal dignity. Any
attack on an individual's self-esteem may have to be revenged. Therefore,
managers are keen to treat subordinates with respect whilst, at the same time,
maintaining the dignity of the position of boss. Instructions will be given clearly
and precisely and subordinates will be expected to follow those instructions with
little or no discussion. Relationship bonds run deep in Filipino culture and the
manager expects loyalty. In return for this loyalty the boss will look after the
interests of those subordinates. It is very much a reciprocal arrangement.
4. Value system analysis allows one to select personnel whose value system is
conjoin able to task and organizational structure. Our values and traits are
essential elements of Filipino culture. Filipino values find expressions in arts,
 customs, traditions, institutions, and achievements. Many Filipinos also have
negative traits which do not fit in the place of work anywhere. But there are good
traits that, when embraced, will help employees and the organization grow.

others in such way as to avoid signs of conflict. Camaraderie among Filipino
makes them flexible and easy to be with.

These three basic aims of Filipino values; hiya, pakikisama and utang na loob
make a Filipino an individual with unique moral obligation to treat one another
resulting to community ties. These values make Filipinos friendly, hospitable,
polite & loyal. In brief, the Filipino core values influence how they behave in any
situation.
