This work presents the concept of organisational culture, with a particular emphasis on Norwegian organisational cul-ture. It explains why organisational culture plays an important role in an organisation's success and features the main determinants of Norwegian organisational culture which distinguish it from other organisational cultures and support the coherent functioning of the organisation. The main goal of the work is to identify the organisational culture profile of the selected Norwegian organisation culture and to check the compliance of the cultural profile of the organisation under analysis with the determinants of Norwegian organisational culture, which were established on the basis of the work of Norwegian researches such as B. Espedal, T. Grennes or J. Bru. The assessment of Norwegian organisational culture sho-wed that Norwegian organisations are dominated by a clan-like culture, also showing the features of female culture, and thus based on trust, cooperation and compliance of goals. The research carried out for the purposes of this study showed the compliance of the cultural profile of the studied enterprise with the profile of Norwegian organisational culture - the responses of the employees of the Beta Hotel allow us to draw conclusions that the company is also dominated by the clan culture and features of female organisational culture. The questionnaire also made it possible to identify the type of culture desired by the Beta Hotel staff - the preferred type of culture still shows the dominance of the clan culture, which allows for the implications that employees are satisfied with the current situation in the company. The results of the study show that employees of an organisation identify with their internal system of values, which may translate into the effectiveness of their work and social relations, and, as a result, the success of the organisation.(original abstract)
