Value is a guide, a guide to act or be derived from within, in the form of the principles of how the life and decision making.

Value, first introduced by their parents in infancy and later added by teachers, religious, and the environment of the association. Spiritual values, this is a foundation of individual behavior is very important. Why it is important to know the values of an individual? Although this does not have a direct impact on the attitudes, values, with the strong influence the attitudes one. So the value system of knowledge about an individual can give insight into the attitude-sikapnya.

With that in mind-border value different people, managers can use the Rokeach Value Survey, the share values into two groups, namely the value of instruments and the value of a goal that can be used to evaluate potential employees and specify whether the values they segaris with the dominant values of organization. The performance of an employee satisfaction, and will most likely be more mengaggap very important, imagination, bergantungan skinfold, and freedom will most likely be bad rapport with the value of an organization's adherence to organize its employees. Managers will be more likely mengahargai, with a positive rate, and share rewards to employees in the appropriate organization, and the employees likely will be more satisfied if they perceive that they are indeed appropriate. Defend the management of this effort during the selection of new employees to find candidates who not only have the ability, experience, and motivation for achievement, but also a system of values that match (compatible) with the value system of the organization.

Managers should be interested in the attitudes employees because their attitude to give warning of potential problems and because attitudes affect behavior. Karyawanyang take pride in and commitment, for example, have a level out and lower absenteeism. If managers want to be a request to stop and reduced attendance - especially among those who are productive employees - they will want to do things that will generate a positive working attitude, so write Stephen Robbins in Organizational Behavior.

Companies that are guided by the value evidently successful in the long term. Grameen Bank is a company that values with the vision of the world without poverty. Grameen Bank, founded by Muhammad Yunus has only one goal that provides loans for the poor in Bangladesh.

Values that ditanamkan Muhammad Yunus to employees or create a Grameen Bank staff are growing rapidly. First group to help mothers of bamboo is poor, now has helped 46,000 villages in Bangladesh. Moreover, if the business is guided by the value of worship to God, the business that will benefit the most. "God loves those who easily in the sale, purchase, satisfaction and billing. He who gives to the suspension in distress (to pay the debt) or membebaskannya, Allah will menghisabnya with penghisaban a lightweight. He who receives the purchase back from those who blame pembeliannya, Allah cancel (delete) the error on the Day of Resurrection. "Sabda Rasulullah SAW.

Self actualization World Figure

Abraham Maslow examines the figures of the world which is called the extraordinary. Figures are, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Goethe, DT SUSUKI, Benjamin Franklin, William Russel, Jane Addams, William James and other leaders of the world. These people called themselves teraktualisasi. The most common and universal of these figures is their ability to see life with a clear, view of life is not according to their desire, be patient, be more objective on the results of their observations, not personal desire to lead their observations, have kemampuanjauh in above average in terms of the rate and manner in dive falsity. Generally, the pair of them in far better than average, though not perfect.

Thanks to the perception that they are powerful, figures that teraktualisasi itself more firmly, and this has a more clear understanding about the right and wrong. They predict more telling of events that will happen. The ability to see an efficient, a more appropriate rate to people who "full manusiawinya" This leak was also to many other lives, in the form of understanding not only on the top but art, music, political issues and philosophy. Figures tersebutmampu penetrate and see the reality-reality hidden all the more confusing and more nimble tapat than the average person.

However, they have a humble nature, capable of listening to other people with patience, want to acknowledge that they do not know everything and want to learn from other people. Other people will be able to teach them something. Perception is a powerful part in the birth of understanding and better about themselves. This concept can also be depicted as a simple nature in children and a lack of ostentation. Children often hear prakonsepsi or without a previous assessment. As children of the world looked with wide eyes, far from critics and without sin, the problem is, no matter or make the matter.

God: "O Moses, if you understand why I am talking directly to you." Moses: "You know is it's all about." God: "I know every human heart, but did not see the heart more humble as your heart, therefore I speak with you directly." Demikialah the word of God diriwayatkan Kaa'ab al-Ahbar.
