What is the relation of organizational norms and personal values to community involvement and career choices? Results from a national survey of middle-level production managers indicate that most managers perceive their companies as having a policy encouraging community involvement. However, less than a third of the managers perceive norms concerning transfers. A strong relation exists between organizational norms encouraging involvement and managers' participation in community affairs. Values, though less important than norms, nonetheless help in understanding attitudes toward community involvement and actual involvement. While norms prescribing participation and transfers are in themselves independent, their influence through attitudes towards participation indicate that managers who follow norms and get involved in community organizations are less likely than their counterparts to opt for a community transfer.
