Within a sample of 599 business students differences between 382 men and 217 women in personal values and company goal priorities were examined. Both groups exhibited value patterns comparable to those of managers in general although significant differences between the men and women were found; the men ranked Political and Theoretical values higher and Social, Aesthetic, and Religious values lower. A simulated managerial situation which required subjects to rank order the goals for a fictitious firm produced organizational goal rankings which for men and women were highest for organizational efficiency and profit maximization and lowest for social welfare. Women ranked Employees' Welfare higher and Organizational Growth lower than did the men. In general, the rankings of personal values were not significantly related to the priorities of organizational goals
