Compares managerial values, in terms of loyalty, boss, money, big
companies, profit, work, job freedom, and company rules, across
different sectors of enterprise by questionnaire survey: 232. Iraqi
managers participated in the study. MANOVA and ANOVA tests revealed some
differences among managers in public, mixed and private organizations,
with regard to manipulative and sociocentric values. Results, however,
indicate that managers, regardless of their sector of enterprise, score
high on sociocentric values.
