Espoused values are the beliefs and principles that an organization or individual states publicly and claims to follow, while enacted values are the values that are demonstrated through behavior and actions. Essentially, espoused values are what is said, and enacted values are what is done.

Espoused values are the values that an individual or organisation are committed to, in some way, but have not necessarily attained. They are usually not the same as the values demonstrated in actual behaviour, nor necessarily the same as the ones that are "professed", that is, acknowledged publicly.
