Organizational Culture

Understanding the culture of a school or organization and the impact various leadership styles may have on that culture is the first step to making positive change within an organization. This week’s assignment has two parts: a short paper and a survey. Please combine both parts into one document for submission.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following points:
Define organizational culture
Explain three or four different types of organizational culture.
What are the various ways leaders can gather data about their organization’s culture?
What attributes should be considered when evaluating organizational culture? Consider things like leadership influence, work group effectiveness, worker accommodations/physical environment, communication, and job satisfaction.
Review several samples of organizational culture surveys. Start by looking over the resources. Then, conduct a general Internet search for examples of organizational culture surveys. Do not copy any of the surveys you locate. Use them only as a guide to produce your own original survey for your school or learning organization. The NCU library has provided additional guidance here: https://ncu.libanswers.com/faq/357738
Using an online tool designed to deliver surveys, develop a 20-question survey that could be used to evaluate organizational culture and leadership impact in your own setting. Include the link to your survey in the paper.
Length: 2-3 page paper and a link to a 20-question survey

References: Include a minimum of 2-3 scholarly resources, properly cited within the body of your paper.

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Where can I locate organizational culture surveys?
Answer
The best starting point for locating organizational culture surveys is the Tests and Measurements Guide. Because there are many different ways to discover test instruments, the guide details how to search for them in various Library resources and online. Additionally, you may want to view the Introduction to Tests & Measurements Workshop recording.

As an example, you may conduct a search for “organizational culture” using our APA PsycTests database. Click the link below to see example search results. Please note that these instruments may not necessarily be surveys; they could be scales, interview questions, tests, etc.
