Examination of Denison’s organizational culture Model A comparative study

Abstract

Nowadays, the development of mass media, the progress of technology, the rapid increase of competition in the national and international arena affect the policies and practices of the organizations. All of these factors have centralized values in some aspects of organizations' living spaces. At the beginning of these events is the concept of organizational culture, which represents the ecological balance and is seen as a living space. Organizational culture determines the organization's perception of itself and the external world. This form of perception leads him to the future by directing his actions. In terms of organizations, the culture that is so important must be understandable by the employees and be applicable to the managers. This study aims to reveal the Denison Organizational Culture Model in a holistic approach considering four main dimensions that include, involvement, consistency,mission, and Adaptivity. In addition, an empirical research has been carried out in the communication, textile and chemical sectors with the aim of seeing whether this work is different in the sectoral sense.The findings indicate that employees understand the relationship between their tasks and the goals of the organization, and that them ajority of employees are integrated with the work they do. It is seen that the employees have adopted the goals of the organization and carried out the work they have done towards this goal. In addition, the empirical examination states that the dimensions of 'Consistency' and Adaptivity do not show any difference and they are similar to each other in all sectors. It was found that only the textile sector differs from the Communication and chemical sectors, which are the other two sectors, while the organizational culture is in the "involvement" dimension. Another dimension, the 'Mission' dimension, was found to differ only between the Communication and textile sectors.
