Meting en interpretatie van organisatieculturen

Samenvatting

A rebuttal to H. J. M. Hüttner's comment on J. Soeters's & H. Schreuder's research in which Hüttner stated that the conceptual analysis of organizational culture is not logical due to imprecise usage of group features & characteristics. It is argued that, since the definition of culture used does not entail an a priori explanation for the origin of culture, Hüttner's comments are irrelevant. Four research methods proposed by Hüttner are briefly reviewed, & reasons why they were not feasible in the original research are demonstrated. In recognition that Soeters's & Schreuder's socialization hypothesis is too narrow, further research on socialization vs (self-)selection is suggested. 17 References. M. Barker
