OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Value Dissonance at Work
Does diversity in personal values affect employees’ productivity? We combine a large-scale survey with granular organizational data to construct measures of workers’ value misalignment with their teammates and their boss. We show that workers who have different values than their colleagues and their managers perform worse than those who have similar values. This negative effect is stronger and more robust for value misalignment with bosses and in hard productivity measures. Our results suggest that value misalignment hinders workers’ motivation and increases managers’ difficulties in coordinating employees. However, teams with more psychological safety are able to alleviate the challenges arising from divergent values.
