%X The espousal of organizational values with an expectation of primarily positive consequences in leadership, employee performance and organizational change has often been recognized as overly simplistic, but giving a more complete and critical account of the interrelations between values and behaviour has proven challenging. 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. Using the PAN framework in this case suggests a picture of staff reporting experiences as 50¨C30¨C20, respectively, for the PAN approach. The implications of this framework for leadership, employee performance and organizational change are discussed
