The missing link of value congruence and its consequences: the mediating role of employees' acceptance of organizational vision

The current study examines an underlying mechanism of value congruence effect transmitted via vision acceptance on work outcomes such as job satisfaction and affective commitment. It addresses two main research questions: (a) whether value congruence affects job satisfaction and affective commitment and (b) whether employees’ acceptance of organizational vision mediates the relationship between value congruence and outcomes, such as job satisfaction and affective commitment. As a result, the presence of value congruence effects on job satisfaction and affective commitment was not supported. However, the mediating effects of employees’ vision acceptance on the relationship between value congruence and the outcomes were supported.
