LESSON NOTES
Edgar Schein saw organizational culture as a three-layered structure, with:
1. Underlying beliefs, or shared assumptions at the base
2. Values in the middle tier, and
3. Artefacts that we can easily see and experience – even as an outsider.
It’s at tier 3 that we can observe the greatest distinction between organizational models.
These models are easy to recognize.
Individual Freedom Ethic
• ideas come ultimately from individuals
• people are responsible, motivated, and capable of governing themselves
• truth can only be pragmatically determined by “fighting” things out and testing in groups
• such fighting is possible because the members of the organization view themselves as a family who will take care of each other.
Ultimately, this makes it safe to fight and be competitive. As a result, we see artefacts like open offices; movement around the office; conversation, discussions and arguments; lower levels of formality in addressing one another and in clothing.
Authority Ethic
• truth comes ultimately from older, wiser, better educated, higher status members
• people are capable of loyalty and discipline in carrying out directives
• relationships are basically lineal and vertical
• each person has a niche that is his or her territory that cannot be invaded
• the organization is a “solidary unit” that will take care of its members.
Artefacts often include a respectful air – sometimes even silence; closed doors, appointments for simple conversations, strict hierarchies and deference according to rank, formal dress
