Certain consultants argue leaders can quickly, easily, and
considerably alter their organization cultures to improve
performance. Conversely, field researchers have described
situations where leaders could do little to alter the existing
organization culture. Between these extreme positions, a spectrum
of varying degrees of leader influence exists, and organizations
fall at various places along this spectrum. This book presents five
field studies dealing with team, service, and sales cultures where
both expected and unexpected outcomes arose. In multiple instances,
leaders hoped showing some employee appreciation would compensate
for offering below market average wages. Several leadership groups
were prospering based on cost cuts or increased sales. Those below
often had their work intensified and they were experiencing greater
stress. Eight paradoxical situations were uncovered and the
interpretations of the participants were based in part on their
personal work histories and the history of their current
organization. In each case, evidence of employee informal
organization and managerial operating cultures were documented.
Analyzing Organization Cultures uses detailed case studies of five
work organizations to offer a comparative approach to analyzing
organizational culture. It shows the latest state of knowledge on
the topic and will be of interest to researchers, academics, and
students in the fields of organizational studies, management
history, human resource management, and organizational theory.
