Abstract: The study examines the impact of membership in business associations on managerial subcultures in Turkey. Perceptions of societal values and assumptions of top level managers regarding how to manage human resources were compared between the two groups: members of Independent Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (IIBA) and members of other business associations.
