| Summary: | Background. Numerous researches related to the study of organizational culture
prove its influence on the organization’s effectiveness. The organization’s culture is
not unified, it consists of subcultures of individual units that can be supporting or
opposing themselves to common values. The aim of the study is to determine the relationships
and mutual influences of the subcultures of the university departments on
its basic culture.
Materials and methods. The article presents and analyzes the results of a study of
subcultures of the subdivisions in Ogarev Mordovia State University based on the
OCAI methodology of K. Cameron and P. Quinn. This technique allows us to compare
existing and preferred cultures, to determine the cultural gap between them, and
thereby determine the direction of improvement of culture.
Results. A study of the subculture in 16 faculties and institutes of Ogarev Mordovia
State University revealed the dominant clan type of culture in many departments.
Along with this type, bureaucratic and market cultures have fairly high
scores. A study aimed at identifying the preferred type of culture showed the need
for further development of clan and adhocratic cultures while reducing the influence
of bureaucratic and market types.
Conclusions. Despite the fact that each unit has its own unique organizational
culture, with a unique set of values, for the most part, all these values to a greater or
lesser extent reflect and support the basic culture of Ogarev Mordovia State University.
This indicates a well-built policy for managing the organizational culture of the
university.
