This article describes a balanced and integrated positive, ambivalent and negative (PAN) approach. The use of this PAN approach is described in the case of a health care organization. Evidence is given from a survey of 96 staff perceptions of their current organizational values, staff evaluations of their colleagues¡¯ demonstration of the organization¡¯s espoused values and content analysis of 35 ¡®memorable moments¡¯ regarding what staff had experienced.
