CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PREVAILING WORLDVIEWS AND VALUE SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO HOW THEY ARE SHAPED BY CULTURE AND IDENTITY

Abstract

Global leadership is one of the social issues in the contemporary business environment linked with worldviews and value systems. The term worldview encompasses a set of beliefs, values, and moral codes that influence various social aspects, including how to deal with issues in society and the interpretation of the role of individuals in society. This research examines both worldviews and value systems in the context of global leadership. In particular, the paper explores various types of worldviews, including relativism. The study also examines worldviews based on cultural theory. This theory identifies four idealized ways of viewing the world and hypothesizes that people are likely to draw from one of the four cosmologies when developing arguments and advocating for change. These worldviews are egalitarian, hierarchical, individualist, and fatalist. In terms of value systems, the paper explores the definition and characteristic of value systems. The research also explores two value systems: individualism and collectivism. Overall, the research demonstrates that managers cannot afford to ignore the significance of both worldviews and value systems in the current business environment. Article visualizations:
