The Relationship Between Virtues and Values

Values in business refer to norms that are culturally or organizationally accepted as guiding principles, defining appropriate behavior and goals. Virtues are innate human qualities like moral excellence and well-being that support achieving those values, but do not define organizational culture themselves. While values shape a group's goals and rules, virtues are characteristics of individuals that help reach those values in a principled way.

the relationship between virtues and
values
 A value in the business sense usually refers to a
culturally or organizationally accepted (or
promoted) norm. Values are often espoused as the
‘moral compass’ for an organization - the widely
accepted ways of behaving that link to, or drive,
business output or conduct. Workplace values
help define the boundaries, or rules, for people’s
behavior. As such, organizational values become
part of the goals of the organization.
 If values are the goal, virtues are the way to get
there. A virtue is a characteristic of a person
which supports individual moral excellence and
collective well being. Such characteristics are
valued as a principle and recognized as a good
way to be. Virtues are innate good qualities or
morals within people. In this way, they are
characteristics of people but they do not define
organizational or collective culture. In other
words, values reflect what is acceptable in terms
of culture, but virtues reflect individual human
characteristics.
