The article presents Values of Mining Corporation Scale (VMCS) that measures five values of a mining company: protection pursued by safety, obedience implemented by discipline, practical skills carried out by experience, trust executed by responsibility and finally courage and exceptionality implemented by tradition. In a quantitative study (N = 193) the authors verify properties of the constructed scale. A relationship between employee perception for locus of control and perception of mining values has been examined. The results suggest that measured values are related with each other and with a superior value of nature as a source of wealth. Moreover the presence of measured values correlates with the perception of control located internally, thus it increases the perceived impact of own employee’s actions.
