    Hello Cynthia,

     

    If you're talking about culture in the ubiquitous sense, here you go:

     

    O'Reilly, C., Chatman, J., & Caldwell, D. F. (1991). People and organizational culture: A profile comparison approach to assessing person–organization fit. Academy of Management Journal, 34, 487–516.

     

    ...or the shortened version:

    Hello Cynthia,

     

    There are a few empirical reviews available in print that overview organizational culture surveys. Here is one that I've found helpful and I hope it will be useful to you as well. Good luck.

    Dear Cynthia,

    There are a number of factors that possibly affect your choice of how you would like to approach researching organisational culture. Of course, the way you phrased it in your email makes one easily believe that you are looking for a quantitative measurement, but considering your thesis on identity construction and relationship building using mixed-methods, makes me believe you are looking for something that possibly could accommodate a more pragmatic stance?

    While I am not sure what exactly the purpose of your study is, I can imagine that you probably need something slightly more flexible than classic dimensions approaches and typologies? This would be particularly true if you would like to analyse organisational culture in greater depth and with multiple methods, and/or if you would like to go beyond linear relationships.

    In the following paper you can find a thorough discussion about organisational culture as well as a model that spans across different research disciplines within organisation and culture theory.

    A configuration model of organisational culture

    Considering your background and prior research, you might actually find it quite appealing (identity construction and relationship building). There is also a questionnaire available for research purposes, which measures each component of the cybernetic systems model quantitatively, including the processes that link each domain of the model. If you would like to continue looking at Chinese contexts, you might be glad to hear that one of my students successfully used a Chinese version of the questionnaire. He used it to identify whether organisational culture was perceived homogeneously within a Chinese company and whether performance levels differed accordingly.

    I would love to hear here what you plan to do, not the least because of what you did before and I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Please feel free to get in touch.

    Kind regards and best wishes for your project,

    Dear Cynthia,

    I supervised a few doctoral theses where the items of the following article were used:
    Hofstede, G., Neuijen, B., Ohayv, D. D., & Sanders, G. (1990). Measuring organizational cultures: A qualitative and quantitative study across twenty cases. Administrative science quarterly, 286-316.
    Here I will refer to Bernhard Bös and Senem Yazici. In both studies, that of Bös and that of Yazici, not all dimensions of the constructs by Hofstede, G., Neuijen, B., Ohayv, D. D., & Sanders, G. (1990) could be replicated.
    In case of interest, the dissertations you can download from the university repositories at Erasmus University Rotterdam or WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.

    Bös, Bernhard (2009)
    Managers' perceptions of organizational cultures in Austria.
    Doctoral thesis, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.
    This version is available at: http://epub.wu.ac.at/3012/
    Available in ePubWU: February 2011
    Abstract:
    The pioneering research by Hofstede et al. on organizational culture (1990), implemented
    in the 1980s in Denmark and the Netherlands, could be partly replicated in
    Austria with a different sample about 25 years later. Five of the six dimensions (P1
    "process-oriented versus results-oriented", P2 "employee-oriented versus joboriented",
    P4 "open system versus closed system", P5 „loose versus tight control", P6
    "normative versus pragmatic") could be replicated, whereas one dimension (P3 "parochial
    versus professional") did not present significant results. A replication of Hofstede's
    method of factor analysis again brought six dimensions, whereby one Hofstede
    dimension loaded on two characteristics (P2 "employee-oriented versus job-oriented"),
    and Hofstede's dimension P3 "parochial versus professional" again not showed any
    significant results at all. The author's dimensions were related to the empirical GLOBE
    results for Austria (Szabo & Reber, 2007). As two dimensions especially matched well
    with GLOBE's research on Austria, they were therefore labeled "Performance Orientation"
    and "Participative Leadership", thereby supporting the author's expectation of a
    national influence on organizational cultures. This new scale was put into relation with
    the companies' turnover growth in order to detect a possible culture/performance-link.


    In German language:
    Yazici, Senem (2015) Organisationskultur und Ziele in einer deutschen staatlichen Hochschule.
    Doctoral thesis, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.
    This version is available at: http://epub.wu.ac.at/4554/
    Available in ePubWU: June 2015

    ....The author conducted a quantitative research designed to assess subcultures within a complex
    organization and their relation to the strategic goal system. The perception of organizational
    culture was measured with Hofstede et al. (1990) six Practices-Dimensions. The perceived
    goals were measured with newly developed, literature based constructs.
    The quantitative feedback of 1,773 stakeholders of a German state University was analyzed.
    The different stakeholder groups: students, academic staff and non-academic staff have different
    perceptions of goals and different perceptions of organizational culture. There is a statistically
    verifiable link between perception of goals and perceived organizational culture.


    As a summary of Senem Yazici's research I attach a paper which she has recently presented at the IACCM2015
    conference in Vienna.
    Senem Yazici 2015
    Configuration Model of Organizational culture in the Context of a German Higher Education Institution.
    IACCM 2015 Conference at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business.

    In that paper Senem Yazici also made use of the Configuration model by Dauber et al.

    Hi Cynthia,
    In our paper, we used Cameron and colleagues as our resource for organizational culture. We found it very appropriate and easy to use. 

    I have attached our paper so that you can see the references.
