Hospital size, CEO age, years of experience, and leadership<br />
training were correlated to instrumental and terminal values using the<br />
Pearson's correlation coefficient. A weak positive correlation was found<br />
(r = .274, pc.005) between hospital size and instrumental collectivism. A<br />
weak negative correlation was found (r = -.266, pc.005) between hospital<br />
size and instrumental individualism (Table 14). These findings suggest<br />
that the larger the hospital size, the more important the instrumental<br />
individualism factors were to the CEO. Likewise, the smaller the hospital<br />
size, the more important instrumental collectivism was to the CEO. Yet,<br />
the findings appear weak enough to be of little practical value. No other<br />
significant correlations existed relative to the examined value scores.<br />
