SOME UNDERLYING DIMENSIONS
OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Dimension
Questions to be answered
1. The organization’s
relationship to its
environment
Does the organization perceive itself to be
dominant, submissive, harmonizing, searching out
a niche?
2. The nature of human
activity
3. The nature of reality and
truth
Is it the “correct” way for humans to behave to
be dominant/proactive, harmonizing, or
passive/fatalistic?
How do we define what is true and what is not
true; and how is truth ultimately determined both in
the physical and social world?

Questions to be answered

conduct of daily affairs?
Are humans basically good, neutral, or evil,
and is human nature perfectible or fixed?

6. The nature of human
relationships
7. Homogeneity versus
diversity
Questions to be answered
What is the “correct” way for people to relate to each
other, to distribute power and affection? Is life
competitive or cooperative? Is the best way to organize
society on the basis of individualism or groupism? Is the
best authority system autocratic/paternalistic or
collegial/participative?
Is the group best off if it is highly diverse or if it is highly
homogeneous, and should individuals in a group be
encouraged to innovate or conform?
