Examination of Denison’s organizational culture Model A comparative study

Abstract

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 the
majority 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 thedimensions 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.
