The proposed model of organisational cultures I used in my research is based on three dichotomous dimensions borrowed from G. Hofstede and other researchers. Although Hofstede proposed studying organisational cultures according to other dimensions of values than in the case of cultures of whole societies, there are numerous authors who think his model is more general and so apply it to organisational cultures too. It seems that three out of five dimensions proposed by Hofstede can become a basis for such a multidimensional model and typology. I am also in favour of this approach, as I believe that three of the dimensions included in Hofstede’s model are of a universal character, whether they concern individuals, organisational cultures or social cultures [Sułkowski 2012, pp. 103-118]

The aim of this article is to present formal organisations employees’ attitudes towards organisational change explanatory model. Initially, main results of conducted desk research on uptodate literature in the field are presented. The analysed secondary data sources mainly consist of research results on social phenomena accompanying organisational change. Three main conclusions of desk research constitute a basis for the explanatory model itself: an existence of noticeable need of bridging gaps between paradigms, necessity of taking a more balanced view on distance in employees attitudes towards change initiative and explaining relationship between individual attitudes and organisational culture. Next, the theoretical model of employees’ attitudes towards organisational change explanation is presented. It is developed on a basis of three distinguished concepts: Pamela S. Tolbert’s and Lynne G. Zucker’s microinstitutional theory, Krzysztof Konecki’s integrated organisational culture model and Paul J. Di Maggio’s and Walter W. Powell’s organizational field concept. Finally, the capabilities and challenges related to empirical application of presented explanatory model are discussed.

The subject of this article is the issue of the social climate of the institution as one of the determinants of security in the perspective of Police research. In the literature on the issue of the social climate of the institution the reality is that it is difficult to find references to this concept in respect of the police. It seems that this is conditioned by the specific nature of the current form of the functioning of the Police and its organisational structure. The subject of the study is a proposal for research into the social climate in the Police. Based on the literature on the subject the phenomenon of social climate is described along with its influence on the sense of comfort and satisfaction of the employees. A good social climate contributes to the co-operation of employees, as well as stimulates a sense of loyalty to the group and responsibility for its success. Further on in the article remarks on the study of a social climate scale by R H Moss are presented, along with an indication of the division of the statements contained in this scale, taking into account the content of the messages. This approach to the scale of social climate is justified in the third part of the article, which presents the concept of research on the social climate of the institution as one of the determinants of security in the perspective of the police research which will be carried out by the Authors of the article.

Safety is a problem that every organization that wants to shape its competitiveness must be able to face in order to maintain its advantage on the market. From the point of view of the management process, the implementer of the organisation’s safety is a manager who – in shaping the organisational culture – must take into account safety factors in the broad sense of the word. Safety culture is a determinant of an organisation operating in the second decade of the 21st century. The aim of the study is to present the proprietary conceptual model of the organisation’s safety culture manager. The article was created as a result of a study of the literature on the subject along with the author’s interpretation.

The author discusses the notion of organisational culture and relates it to the notion of organisational identity. Culture as a group identity involves elements of stability, homogeneity and integrity but this can be very much altered through post-modern understanding of relationships between localities and their contexts. The research that was conducted in two primary schools in Slovenia is based on the symbolic notion of organisational culture. We explored what meanings are assigned to schools in public documents, during rituals and in teachers' and headteachers'narratives. The findings indicate the co-existence of two cultures and hence of two identities, ‘the public’ and ‘the private’, the former being closer to the corporate identity and the latter to multiple identities. The managers should be aware of both and should use the in-between space for on-going discussions and negotiations.

The ability to introduce various concepts and business models is nowadays a prerequisite of creating a competitive advantage. This is to a large extent closely linked to the ability of enterprises to create, implement and disseminate a variety of innovative solutions. Today the use of open innovation is a necessity. This applies not only to large organisations, but also to small and medium-sized enterprises. In order to implement open innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises need to effectively manage their own growth through the preparation of appropriate strategies and the development of a model that encompasses all changes, taking into account a number of factors related to the growth dynamics of this sector. It is understood that an appropriate organisational culture plays an important role in the implementation of innovation in the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises. There are many indications that a cultural mismatch and misunderstanding are the main reasons for major problems related to the low level of implementation of innovation by small and medium-sized enterprises. The aim of the paper is to outline the issue of the impact of organisational culture on the development of the concept of open innovation in the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Analyses and international comparisons of university organisational cultures are rare or even non-existing in management studies. Our paper fills this gap, presenting the results of a pilot study conducted in two units representing a Polish and a Dutch university. The survey has been carried out on a basis of a model and a measuring tool created by the Dutch researcher Aldert P. Dreimüller. Using two dimensions of change tolerance vs. control; and internal vs. external orientation he proposed a typology of four organisational cultures: task, aim, team and process culture. Each type is described with the same set of criteria. The types identified in the course of our survey are interpreted through the lens of the national cultures of the Netherlands and Poland. However, the main result of the study, and thus the main aim of this paper, is a multi-faceted usage and test of the Dreimüller’s tool.

Creating a "mobbing-safe" working environment can be a real challenge; to achieve it, a better understanding of related constructs is necessary. To obtain insight into researchers' attitudes toward workplace mobbing and behavioural intentions, we used a case scenario method. The results show that respondents, on average, consider the mobbing cases presented in a questionnaire to be very serious. Their attitudes and behavioural intentions depend more on their opinion about colleagues' attitudes and related intentions and less on their own, which shows a lower integrity than desired. Low willingness to report the violator, lenient discipline sanctions and the absence of proper organisational rules create favourable conditions for workplace mobbing in Slovenian public research organisations. This paper also proposes measures based on the research findings of various authors and identifies new questions that could be addressed in further research.

An investigation into Estonia's educators' representations of organisational culture, based on the typologies of R. Harrison and C. Handy, and into the educators' cognitive orientation on the basis of J. Rotter's internality/externality scale was carried out. The aim was to determine, whether the organisational culture in Estonia's schools supports the sustainable development of teachers. The study revealed that amongst Estonia's teachers the individuality-oriented individualistic culture dominated, and that almost half of the teachers had an external locus of control. The conclusion was drawn that the culture of learning organisation was not characteristic of Estonia's schools, while that type of culture would best support the professional and sustainable development of teachers.

Organisational culture has been the topic of research and in-depth analysis for around fifty years, emphasising the multifaceted nature and operationalisation challenges of organisational culture. Studies on its manifestations (i.e. values, behaviours, symbols) and functions have been conducted in relation to corporations, perceived as one entity rather than its subsidiaries. The aim of this article is to investigate the factors shaping the organisational culture of the growing number of shared service centres (SSC) of transnational corporations in Poland, an area that has not yet been thoroughly explored. The article is both theoretical and empirical, with the theoretical part devoted to the characteristics of the growing numbers of SSCs in Poland and a comprehensive classification of environmental factors in which SSCs function, while in the empirical part the author conducted statistical tests regarding the choice of dominant factors shaping SSC culture. A practical dimension of the study is the ranking list of factors shaping the SSC organisational culture: at the top of the rank are the factors related to the activity profile (both for the SSC and parent company) and human capital factors (age, competences, qualifications, employee gender both for the SSC and the parent company). The reverse approach to culture, concentrating more on the process of shaping it rather than an analysis of the actual state and the specificity of the culture, brings added value to the study.

The author presents multiple paradigm research into the organisational culture of a birdwatching association, where he conducted his ethnographic research. On top of the functionalist, interpretive, radical structuralist and radical humanist paradigms as presented by Gibson Burrell and Gareth Morgan, he applies the fifth paradigm into the analysis of the organisation. The so-called complexity paradigm, which was formed in 1980's based on findings about complex systems and networks that emerged in natural and social sciences, summarizes all other paradigms, integrating them into a coherent unit. According to the author, the approach that exploits the benefits of each previously known paradigm illustrates comprehensively the complexity of organisational cultures, whereas the new paradigm upgrades our previous knowledge on organisations.

This study looks into the culture of nursing professionals in the present-day Czech health-care system at a time of personal, generational, and educational transitions (reforms), which have driven a change of organisational-cultural means in the relationship between two key professions: doctors and nurses. The article presents the results of a biographical study of nurses, paying detailed attention to their emotional labour in cooperation with doctors in accident and emergency ward settings. The study draws on the concept of organisational culture in practice/action, on a Goffmanian and Garfinkelian ethnomethodology of scripts of interaction (rules, norms) in order to reconstruct the feeling rules that govern a nurse’s emotional display and her role in cooperating with doctors. The article stresses the importance of emotion management as a substantial part of the gendered professional identities of health-care workers and discusses the situations when nurses’ subordinate status requires a kind of stressful emotion management to keep the doctor-nurse professional relationship intact, which is not required from doctors. The study also presents a variety of coping strategies or practices normalising these morally questionable feeling rules and norms, which guide action as an integral part of the ordinary practices of the social organisation of the nurse’s occupation in hospital settings.

‘Social return’ (SR) is a term in the Netherlands that summarises all efforts to integrate people with a mental or physical handicap in the labour market. It is an important political topic because government wants not only an inclusive society but also a decrease of expenditures on social benefits; an important topic for employers, because organisations can profile themselves as socially responsible; and a topic for applied research, finding ways and means of realising the concept. The Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences is mainly involved because of the value of SR for applied research and the development of solutions that work. Several projects have been implemented with third parties, all of them involving students, e.g. through BA graduation research. However, the research also shows that there is no large-scale adoption among entrepreneurs yet. Three problems have been identified: (1) the SR policy currently has many negative side effects; (2) entrepreneurs must recognize that the involvement of employees with a SR indication not only costs money but may also contribute to profits; (3) insufficient attention is paid to finding the proper match between possible employees and suitable jobs (possibly with an adapted working environment). However, ‘social return’ is a feasible concept and the problems may be addressed. At the same time the initial efforts on realising ‘social return’ point at the importance of organisational culture. The main aim of this paper is to show the link between organisational culture and the successful implementation of social return.

Purpose: The chief purpose of this article was to draw attention to the importance of organisational culture as a crucial factor in human capital management. In order to achieve this goal, reports of research on the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland were read, with respect to investments in human capital development. Design/methodology/approach: The literatures on management sciences, sociology of organisations and economics were also reviewed, on the basis of which a theoretical description of selected issues was made. The issues included factors shaping organisational culture and its influence on human capital development. The analysis of the literature showed that organisational culture may perform many functions in the integration and development of human resources, including the development of human capital. Organisational culture is a carrier of specific norms and values preferred by both managers and employees. Findings: Nowadays, human capital generating new quality of knowledge is recognised as a strategic factor of enterprises and the basis for their prosperity. It therefore becomes an issue of core importance for managers to effectively manage human capital in such a way that it would encourage creativity, the ability to acquire knowledge and to shape working competences. One should remember that enterprises differ in respect of ability to define, communicate and manage organisational culture. Owing to the literature review, it was found that through the study of organisational culture it is possible to create value and a competitive position of enterprises based on human capital development. Originality/value: The subject of the article may be useful for both practitioners of economic life, as well as theoreticians studying organisational culture and human capital.

Artykuł porusza tematykę związku, jaki istnieje między kulturą organizacyjną a procesem zarządzania wiedzą. Kultura organizacyjna rozważana jest jako istotne uwarunkowanie możliwości i skuteczności wdrażania koncepcji zarządzania wiedzą. Podjęty problem badawczy opiera się na opisie wpływu wybranych wartości kulturowych na poszczególne etapy zarządzania wiedzą. Relacje te zostały głównie ograniczone do wskazania wartości kulturowych, które tworzą sprzyjające dla zarządzania wiedzą środowisko kulturowe. Wybór analizowanych wartości został dokonany w oparciu o fachową literaturę. Z jej przeglądu wynika że szczególną rolę odgrywają: mały dystans władzy, nastawienie na ludzi, wysoka tolerancja niepewności, proinnowacyjność, otwartość na kontakty z otoczeniem, status oparty na osiągnięciu.
