今天，社会对公众人物和政府雇员的认识和审查越来越多。这种日益增加的关切在很大程度上是悲观和有害的。虽然社会对公共事务管理的关注通常是一种期望和需要的行为现象，但这种关注大多基于很少或根本没有实质性的经验数据，而是先入为主的观念，人际偏见，道听途说的证据，政治操纵等的表现。今天，在调查公共事务时所需要的不仅是增加社会关注，而且是先进的经验复杂性。今天另一个令人相当感兴趣的难题是在各种类型的组织中确定有效的人员。个人的个性是否最适合一种类型的组织而不是另一种？是否有某些性格特征能将潜在的管理人员与其他员工区分开来？管理者所需的个人属性是否因组织类型而异？在直线员工和职员之间，或者在私营部门经理和公共部门行政人员之间，存在着什么样的性格相似性和差异性？下面的信息并不能准确地回答所有这些问题，但它提供了一个有见地的分析，并为进一步的实证研究提供了一个有用的方法。本报告无意支持或贬低。相反，它只是描述了一种相对较新的方法，试图更好地衡量和理解各种形式的人类行为。它提供了一个相对未经研究的大众，即政府行政人员的这种方法的结果。在介绍了价值观和价值体系方法论背后的理论材料之后，作者介绍了“政府高管的价值观和价值体系”，并将这些数据与其他11个私人和公共职业群体的数据进行了比较。本报告最后一节简要讨论了这项研究的“结论和影响”。
Today there is an increasing societal awareness and scrutiny of public figures and governmental employees. Much of this increased concern has been pessimistic and detrimental in nature. Although societal concern over the administration of public affairs is in general a desired and needed behavioral phenomenon, much of this concern is based on little or no substantial empirical data but instead is a manifestation of preconceived ideas, interpersonal bias, hearsay evidence, political maneuvers, and the like. What is needed today in the investigation of public affairs is not only increased societal concern but also advanced empirical sophistication. Another dilemma of considerable interest today is the identification of effective personnel within various types of organizations. Can individual personalities best fit into one type of organization rather than another? Do certain personality characteristics distinguish potential managerial personnel from other employees? Do the personal attributes required of managers differ according to types of organizations? What personality similarities and differences exist between line and staff personnel or between private-sector managers and public-sector administrators? The information that follows does not precisely answer all of these questions, but it gives an insightful analysis of them and a useful methodology for further empirical research. This report is not intended to be supportive or demeaning in nature. Instead, it is merely descriptive of a relatively new approach that attempts to better measure and understand various forms of human behavior. It provides results of this approach in terms of a relatively unresearched populace -namely, governmental executives. After presenting material on the theory behind the value and value system methodology, the author presents the "values and value systems of governmental executives" and compares these data with those gathered from 11 other private and public career aad occupational groups. "Conclusions and implications" of this study are briefly discussed in the final section of this report.
