Diagnosis of Organizational Culture in Public Sector Undertakings Undergoing Reforms

Public Organization Review volume 18, pages 361–380 (2018)Cite this article

Abstract

This study investigates a comparative analysis of civil servants’ perceptions of organisational culture in two public sector undertakings undergoing public sector reform in Fiji, and a public administration industry reference group. Data collected from Fijian civil servants and analysed superficially indicate similarity in cultures and suggested intervention strategies to create the preferred organisational cultures. In addition, the findings show the criticality of deciphering and understanding public sector organisational culture at both the superficial and deeper levels, in order to guide intervention strategies and support sustained organisational change.
