This paper is an exploratory research on how to shape shared values between labor- management, whether the shared values between labor-management affect the corporate effectiveness, and what kinds of elements consist of the shared values of labor-management in Korea. Korean enterprises are characterized by Confucian culture, groupism and moralism, and many levels of hierarchy.
Korean companies are changing to self-governance even though they still put axis on the community-oriented culture.
The value of corporate can be expressed to mission, core value, and vision. The managerial values consist of stability of management right and security of management information. The unions deserve the values on self-realization and self-completion that mean the full expansion totheir potential with mental and material improvement of life. The unions also try to improve the economic status, equality, and increased voice.
Shared values between labor and management expand to communication, cooperation, and shared objectives by turns. Shared objectives between labor and management are achieved by establishmant of rules or regulations in structure level, and also by organizational socialization through mutual learning activity in behavioral level.
Korean companies are formed sincerity, a sense of responsibility, cooperation, progressiveness, a sense of the master, confidence, and a sense of duty of the labormanagement shared values. But, they do not have shaped the shared values in the labor-management because of different duties in the tangible and practical levels.
Even though labor and management have different values in the tangible and practical levels, enterprise can improve its performance by shared value through labor- management communication because fundamental values between labor and management are almost identical.
