Can Questionnaires Objectively Assess Organisational Culture?

In: Journal of managerial psychology, Band 5, Heft 4, S. 4-11

Abstract

A two‐year qualitative study with business leaders identified
salient dimensions of organisational culture (OC) which were then
operationalised into a multiscale survey. The Survey of Organisational
Culture (SOC) was then employed in ten empirical studies to assess:
reliability, validity, perceived usefulness to professional managers and
the overall feasibility and adequacy of objective assessments of OC. The
results indicate that reliable and meaningful information can be
obtained that will be useful to managers.
