| Abstract | The different conceptual approaches to organizational culture used in the last decade are discussed to provide clarity for cultural researchers in higher education. Emphasis is on the differences between functional and interpretive perspectives of organizational culture. The underlying assumptions, rationales, and methodological implications are highlighted for each perspective. Recent studies of organizational culture are reviewed to provide an understanding of different conceptual approaches to culture. Organizational metaphors and the cultural view of organizations are discussed, and cultural analysis and organizational administration are explained. It is suggested that organizational behavior in general, and the functional school of organizational culture specifically, are driven largely by the desire for rules and management guidelines. The functionalist intends to highlight principles and concerns of culture so that managers may become more skilled in manipulating cultural variables. Cultural anthropologists and the interpretive schools do not want to be applied problem solvers. The interpretive perspective is more theoretical and less applied. The interpretive approach believes that managers influence organizational meaning and that an awareness of the enactment that occurs in an organization aids in effective management. Contains 35 references. (Author/SM) |
