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 />
