An organizational culture for all seasons? How cultural type dominance and strength influence different performance goals
基于59家公共医疗组织529名高管的调查，研究发现理性文化和层级文化分别与更高的竞争力和更好的财务结果相关，表明不同绩效目标需要不同的文化类型。
Organizational culture might influence results, especially in public healthcare organizations characterized by strong professional control. This study investigates whether a specific culture type is most effective in fostering performances. We assess organizational culture through Competing Values Framework and use multivariate regression analysis to test the relationship between dominant culture and competitiveness and financial results. Based on 529 responses from senior managers of 59 organizations, we found that dominant rational and hierarchical culture types are associated, respectively, with higher competitiveness and better financial results. Enhancing a specific performance dimension might require cultural changes aimed to align values with targeted results.
