Abstract
The relationship between the personal value systems of managers and their managerial success was investigated for a national sample of Jordanian managers. The results of this study revealed that the personal value systems of the sampled managers are related to their success as managers. It was also found that there are differences between the personal value systems of more successful managers and those of less‐successful managers. While more successful managers have dynamic and achievement‐oriented values, less/successful managers have more traditional moral and religion values.Keywords
