28.  Value conflicts create
tension and anxiety which
can lead to stress. They can
make people indecisive, a
situation that can confuse
the ones they live or work
with. If these behaviors
become inconsistent, this
can result in interpersonal
problems.

29.  To resolve an
intrapersonal
conflict, one has to
be clear about his or
her priorities.
 Priorities depend on
one’s roles, goals,
and personal mission.

30.  Interpersonal
conflicts can be
resolved through
communication in
which both
parties try to see
and understand
the situation of
the other.

conflict with one’s
personal values, a choice

the latter or embracing
the values of the
organization, or leaving
the organization and
working for one whose
values are compatible
with his or hers.

32. Values have cognitive, affective, and
behavioral components which facilitate
prioritization of values for decision-making.
Each person develops a relatively small
number of values that are prioritized in a
value system.

33. Values are prioritized when a person can
rank the order of importance assumed
by his or her values in guiding his or her
behavior and when he or she can act
according to that priority.

34. Authentic values are brought out through an
insightful dialogue involving self-reflection.
True values, when fully expressed, are
capable of leading a person toward focus,
purpose, satisfaction, and happiness.

35. Furthermore, a value is crystallized once it
has a label that is meaningful to the
individual.
Once values are crystallized and prioritized,
the individual can go on directly to career
choice making (Villar, 2009).
