Rests on employees governing their own behavior by voluntarily choosing compliance behavior because they believe it to be the best way to act. The goal is to have the employees engage with and adopt the values of the organization as their own. When this engagement occurs, employees are more like to comply with rules even when they are not monitored. Hence, in this approach, enforcement of standards does not belong solely to ethics officers and their designees, but to all employees
Study supports that a value based approach is more effective than a compliance based approach. Because as compared to compliance-based programs, values-based programs had:
fewer reports of unethical conduct, higher levels of ethical awareness, more employees seeking advice about ethical issues, and a higher likelihood of employees reporting violations

It signals the importance of engaging employee values to generate a commitment to comply with the law. If a company does not establish a culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance, all the positive work done to establish formal ethics and conduct programs would be at risk.
