The study aims to do a comparative analysis of organizational culture between the three different organizations in IT sector. It is an exploratory research. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The sample size was 165. It consisted of employees from three leading IT organizations in India. Aligning culture and leadership goals are keys to organisational success. All the four dimensions of organisational culture are heavily influenced by leadership based interventions in an organisation. A true leader is a catalyst in driving: Adaptability–by creating change, emphasising customer focus and promoting organisation learning, Mission–by defining strategic direction, defining objectives and goals  and creating a shared vision, Consistency–by managing coordination & integration, defining core values and working to reach agreement, and Involvement–by empowering people, building team orientation and developing organisation capability.

The objective of the study is to find out how employees perceive the organizational culture in three leading IT companies. It is an exploratory research. A primary research was conducted through an administration of a structured questionnaire. The sample size is 165 consisting of employees from three leading IT organizations in India. Most project work in the IT sector is done in teams. Hence proper team building is a pre-requisite to high performance and ensures that everyone is aligned and working equally hard to the team and the organisation’s goals. Team orientation can be fostered by having quarterly project parties and having occasions to meet formally and informally and capture feedback from one another. Creating an easily accessible centralised knowledge management system is the key to information sharing. Also with the advent of newer technologies coming up, the organisation needs to have heavy investment in training infrastructure in order to keep pace with the market needs. For this dedicated learning and training function needs to be setup in most organisations whose mandate would be to up-skill people based in customer needs and changes in the technology environment. Involvement and Adaptability are indicators of flexibility, openness and responsiveness; which are strong indicators of growth. Mission and Consistency are indicators of driving direction, integration and vision, and are strong indicators of profitability and efficiency. These four traits of organisational culture if monitored and harmoniously used are the key to ensure high performance within the organisations. Aligning culture and leadership goals are keys to organisational success. All the four dimensions of organisational culture are heavily influenced by leadership based interventions in an organisation.

This chapter discusses the practice of organizational culture by the frontline bureaucrats in Bangladesh. Culture scholars argue that organizational culture—commonly defined as the beliefs, values, attitudes, and practices of the members of an organization—is a powerful force in determining the health and well-being of an organization. Scholars also suggest the existence of different dimensions of organizational culture. Although they do not agree in naming these dimensions, commonalities are found in their understanding. How organizational culture is practiced by the frontline bureaucrats in Bangladesh has not been studied much. A study was designed to know how the frontline public bureaucrats practice organizational culture and how they differ in their practices along their service lines. Four dimensions of organizational culture—power distance, uncertainty avoidance tendency, participation, and team orientation—were considered. The chosen culture dimensions impact the overall management of any public sector organization. Three hundred and twenty-six frontline public bureaucrats were studied using a survey questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics have been used for analyzing the collected data. Findings from independent samples t-tests revealed that the frontline bureaucrats significantly differ along their service lines in practicing the culture dimensions.

Organizational culture plays a pivotal role in the development and change of organizations. To achieve institutional competitiveness and repositioning on the world market all key players in the institutional development need to be on the same page in terms of organizational culture. A mammoth of studies have been done in the past to explore organizational culture structure but there were no attempts done to validate and measure the construct on employee behaviour and thoughts at the Islamic University in Uganda. The purpose of this study therefore is to measure and validate organisational construct as perceived by staff at the Islamic University in Uganda. The study employed four dimensions to examine organizational culture, and 361 staff through randomization participated in the study. To arrive at the intention of the study SEM-Amos technique of data analysis was used to confirm the hypothesized measurement model. The results indicated that meaningful value, support and promotion of values, discipline values and free style value are true and valid predictors of organizational culture structure.

AbstractThe study investigated the cultural features of construction companies in Lagos state and determined the organisational culture profile of the construction companies in the study area, with a view to providing information that could enhance the organisational performance of Nigeria construction firms. Primary data were sourced through the administration of 196 structured questionnaires to 98 construction companies (i.e., two questionnaires per company) represented by their construction professionals and administrative staff. The information elicited from the returned 140 questionnaires (71% return rate) included features of organisational culture and dominant characteristic element of organisational culture profile of the construction companies. Data collected for this study were analysed using percentages, factor analysis and mean score (MS). The result showed a dominant organisational cultural feature of strategic direction explaining 17.73% variance in respondent’s perception. However, communication (9.66%), adaptability (8.43%) and employee involvement (6.88%) were also relevant. The organisational culture profile showed a predominant market culture (MC) with focus on production and goal accomplishment (MS = 3.62), a hierarchy culture (HC) of a coordinator, organiser and efficiency expert (MS = 3.60) and an ad hoc culture with strategic emphasis on dynamics and readiness (MS = 3.56). The family type of culture is undermined within the companies (MS = 3.47). The study concluded that strategic direction being a MC feature corroborates a predominant MC revealed by assessing organisational culture of construction companies in Lagos state, Nigeria.

<p>Este trabajo, de alcance exploratorio, vinculó los significados de las expresiones de cinco directivos entrevistados –en diferentes empresas costarricenses con las sub-dimensiones y dimensiones de tres rasgos de cultura del modelo de la Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS): misión, involucramiento y adaptabilidad; lo mismo que éstas con la innovación en sus empresas. Para ello se utilizó el análisis temático, con una modificación de la codificación elaborativa de datos textuales por Auerbach y Silverstein (2003), con el fin de extraer o decodificar los significados de expresiones concretas de los entrevistados para obtener los principales temas y analizar sus interrelaciones con tres de las variables latentes del modelo de la DOCS y la innovación. La codificación de los datos cualitativos se realizó mediante el software Atlas Ti 6. Los resultados apuntan a la relevancia que tiene para la actividad innovadora en la empresa el contar con un propósito y dirección estratégica que alinee los esfuerzos en esta vía, el implicar a los colaboradores en esta actividad, así como procurar habilidades de los colaboradores para enfocarse en el cliente, aprender nuevas habilidades y crear cambio en la organización. Si bien los anteriores hallazgos son consistentes con la literatura publicada en este tema, un aporte del presente estudio destaca el potencial efecto de la adaptabilidad y el involucramiento sobre la innovación, siempre y cuando estén alineados con el rasgo cultural misión.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This exploratory research linked the impressions of five Costa Rican companies managers interviewed, with the sub-dimensions and three dimensions of Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS) culture traits: mission, involvement and adaptability; and their link with the innovation in their companies.
