Organizational Culture Schein (1990) posited that presently, there is little agreement on the what organizational culture as a concept entails (Schein, 1990). What scholars can agree on is organizational culture represents a set of values that define philosophy, approach and style of an organization (Babak, Vahidreza, & Ali, 2013; Smart & Hamm, 1993). Organizational culture is developed from the values and beliefs of the its organizational members (Schein, 1990). Values are organizational norms, beliefs, philosophies, charters and attitudes (Schein, 2010). What’s more, the basic underlying assumptions of an organization can be derived from the historical context, thought processes, feelings, and perceptions associated with the organization

Specifically, we will leverage the competing values framework, developed by Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983) to determine the type of organizational culture at the HBCUs in question. In a two-part study, Quinn and Rohrbaugh asked experts to evaluate 30 effectiveness criteria that were important for organizational effectiveness/ They then analyzed those responses using a multidimensional scaling approach. Results indicated that there were three dimensions that were significant: focus, structure, and means– end (Quinn and Rohrbaugh, 1983). From this initial research, the competing values framework (CVF) was developed. Figure 1 illustrates how the dimensions of focus and structure overlay to define the four cultural types comprising the CVF: clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy. Below is a brief description of …show more content…
According to Cameron (1978), these criteria for effectiveness measures faces two major obstacles: the selection of set of parameters to show effectiveness and the sources who will track those measures (Cameron, 1978). From an institution perspective, many researchers have evaluated many outcomes – access, success, graduation rate underserved student populations, and the list goes on. Using multi-phased analysis, Cameron (1978) tested the ability of nine variables to express institutional effectiveness. The nine variables span three primary areas: students, faculty and staff, and system. We leverage a similar framework to develop institutional effectiveness for the purposes of this
