Diagnosing and changing the current dominant organizational culture, an applied study in higher educational institutions

Mohamed Abd El-Kader Shehab
Abstract

The purpose of this research is to measure the current dominant organizational culture and diagnosing the gap between the dominant and the preferred culture in higher educational institutions. In particular, 385 employees working in Deraya representing private sector and Assiut universities representing public sector (academic and administrative employees) as examples of private and public universities respectively were participated in the study. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) was used to identify three steps: measuring the current dominant organizational culture, measuring the preferred and desired organizational culture, and diagnosing the organizational culture gap. In this paper, the results of the OCAI model show how the academic staff and administrative employees at Deraya and Assiut universities determine the current dominant university culture and the preferred culture that should be within the next five years. Confirmative Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to clarify the underlying structure of the data obtained from the OCAI model, in addition to using the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient using a statistical description approach. The results of the research showed that the hierarchical culture is the current dominant culture in the researched organization, as well as the clan culture is the dominant preferred culture in the future.
