Abstract:
Since 1981, when Peters and Waterman introduced term organizational
culture in organizational science, organizational culture has
become a very important field of investigation. The reason why organizational
culture became so popular is connection between appropriate
cultures and efficiency and productivity of organizations. However,
there is no universal organizational culture applicable to all types of
organizations. Hence, this paper analyzes organizational culture of the
Faculty of Civil Engineering (FoCE), University of Zagreb, focusing on the
Department of construction management and economics (DoCME) and
it tries to investigate whether this culture enables optimal fulfillment
of FoCE’ goals. According to survey of members of the FoCE, presented
in this paper, lecturers are moderately satisfied with interpersonal relationship,
with selection of new employees, with the opportunity for
professional promotion and with the ceremonies at the FoCE. Nevertheless,
lecturers are not satisfied with the value system. In addition, a
high percentage of members of FoCE think that clear rules of behavior
for students should be established. Members of the DoCME (lecturers,
assistants and students) are relatively satisfied with the organizational
culture in general, but they are not satisfied with the hierarchy of values
at the faculty level.
