Abstract
Normative beliefs are investigated in 32 units of a nationwide voluntary service organization. Staff members (n = 263) completed the Organizational Culture Inventory (Cooke & Lafferty, 1989). Performance data on community fund-raising success were obtained archivally. Security-oriented normative beliefs are negatively related to both fund-raising success and to staff job attitudes. Team-work-oriented norms are positively related to staff attitudes.Keywords
