ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDUSTRY CHARACTERISTICS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: HOW DIFFERENT CAN YOU BE?

Chatman, J. A., Jehn, K. A.·1994·Academy of Management Journal

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between two industry charac-teristics, technology and growth, and organizational culture. We exam-ined this relationship by comparing the cultures of organizations within and across industries. Using 15 firms representing four indus-tries in the service sector, we found that stable organizational culture dimensions existed and varied more across industries than within them. Specific cultural values were associated with levels of industry technology and growth. One implication of this finding is that the use of organizational culture as a competitive advantage may be more con-strained than researchers and practitioners have suggested. Organizations have discernible differences based on industry norms (cf. Pennings & Gresov, 1986). Just as task environments affect how organiza-tions are structured, assumptions about important constituents lead to sim-ilar values among same-industry organizations (Gordon, 1991). In an effort to understand the forms and consequences of organizational culture, research-

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
