The Dynamics of Organizational Culture
指出Schein的组织文化模型忽略了文化作为符号和过程的一面,结合符号解释视角提出新模型,阐述文化如何显现、实现、符号化和被解读,为收集分析文化数据和理论发展提供框架。
Schein's (1985) model of organizational culture as assumptions, values, and artifacts leaves gaps regarding the appreciation of organizational culture as symbols and processes. This article examinee these gaps and suggests a new model that combines Schein's theory with ideas drawn from symbolic-interpretive perspectives. The new model, called cultural dynamics, articulates the processes of manifestation, realization, symbolization, and interpretation and provides a framework within which to discuss the dynamism of organizational cultures. Implications of the cultural dynamics model for collecting and analyzing culture data and for future theoretical development are presented.
