The Impact of Organizational Culture in Higher Education. Case Study
Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management and Ethics - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the functioning of a faculty from different insiders’ perspectives on academia, based on organizational culture. ‘Insiders’ in this case are academic leaders, evaluators, and students. Universities are complicated social organizations with characteristic cultures. On the one hand, academic freedom, critical thinking, and autonomy are protected values and, on the other hand, changing environmental conditions exert powerful impact on the primary functions of universities. Understanding of organizational culture is not a panacea to all problems in higher education. A deep understanding of culture, for example, will not automatically increase enrollments or increase quality of teaching or decrease corruption. This case study is employed for the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEAA) within the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University (UAIC) in Iasi, Romania that faces the challenges of transition to democracy and free market economy. The findings of this paper suggests a close link between organizational culture and quality in state higher education.
