Dimensions of organizational culture
Organizational culture has been evaluated along many dimensions and this has
resulted in models and theories which are conceptually different but fundamentally
similar (Yiing and Ahmad, 2009). Several typologies have thus been developed to
understand the concept of organizational culture. In the Malaysian context, researchers
have used several typologies/dimensions of organizational culture. For instance,
Rashid, et al. (2004) used Goffee and Jones’ (1998) framework, Yiing and Ahmad (2009)
used Wallach’s (1983) typology, while Abdullah (1992) used the famous typology by
Hofstede (1980), Sambasivan and Yen (2010) used Organizational Culture Assessment
Instrument (OCAI) developed by Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983) while the instrument
used by Asmawi and Mohan (2010) was adapted from Dennison Organizational
Culture Survey (Denison and Neale, 1996) and Innovation Mini Audit (Wycoff and
Hattori, 2004).
