Abstract
A review of the literature revealed four major self-report measures of organizational culture measuring organizational behavioral norms or values. This study set out to compare these different measures by correlational and factor analysis. The results of the correlational analysis showed the convergent validity of the questionnaires in a number of significant correlations among the overlapping subscales intended to measure the same theoretical construct in each of the four questionnaires. Finally, the factor analysis yielded six readily interpretable factors providing an eclectic framework of the organizational culture dimensions which is supported by the relevant literature. Results are discussed in terms of different frameworks and measures of organizational culture.
