Values are fundamental to organisations. Considered key determinantsof attitudes, work behaviour and decision-making, values in organisa-tions have emerged as a topic of growing interest among organisationalscholars and practitioners. By signifying what is desirable or appropriate,values guide the choice of action. However, they do not offer precise orstandardised prescriptions of actions. Organisations focusing on valueswork are in a better position to improve their practices and quality ofservices. We believe that values work serves to bridge everyday practiceswith the organisational purpose. Work on values in organisations also assumes significance in the lightof the contexts in which organisations operate. Organisations are partof a broad and heterogeneous institutional environment. Market, regu-lations and laws establish a context of challenges and difficulties, oftenforcing organisations to juggle between disparate demands, which resultin persistent and deep-rooted tensions. How do, for instance, organi-sations pursue productivity while keeping their soul intact and deliv-ering services true to their original purpose? Values come into play insuch situations of institutional pluralism (Kraatz & Block,2008)orinstitutional complexity (Greenwood, Raynard, Kodeih, Micelotta, &Lounsbury,2011), and they may have different roles. Essentially, work-ing with values in workplaces involves probing why people work andbehave the way they do. We, therefore, address the following question:In a complex and plural institutional context, how do leaders and membersperform values work?By placing values work at the heart of what the actors do, the chaptersin this book manifest a performative and processual practice.
