This study was conducted as part of a larger study in a public sector organization with an all India presence. This study explored the relationship of personal and organizational values with job satisfaction. 220 participants from a large public sector organization were asked to rate on a 7 point scale the 24 items value taxonomy developed by McDonald&Gandz (1991, 1992) once as to how important these are to them as a guiding principal in their life and once as how much they perceive their organization to promote these values. Results reveal that perceived organizational values emerge as potent predictor of all the three components of job satisfaction as compared to personal values. In that, factor justice explained most variance for intrinsic and total job satisfaction and factor harmony explained most variance for extrinsic job satisfaction.Keywords
