Abstract
Core organizational values are essential for any organization, including academic institutions. Formal and informal leaders can have a positive, or negative, impact on shaping their culture through the core values. Members of an organization, including students, can be shaped by the organizational values in ways that strengthen, or impede, their professional identity formation. Here, we discuss the use of organizational values as vital substrates needed to shape the desired behaviors and attitudes that will help describe the organizational culture and identity. We define and discuss various types of core values, identify the benefits and challenges of core values alignment, and offer strategies for leaders at all levels to reflect on their own organization’s core values and their current approach to their contribution to an effective and sustainable workplace that supports the professional identity formation of all members.
