Can I use the organizations' name or type as a proxy for the organizational culture and control for it when I examine the relationship between tow econstucts. e.g. nationla culture diminsions and middle managers strategic activites ?
Half joking, when in Poland I see a name with some version of the work "professional", I can expect a lack of professionalism
I will prefer the use of organisation type in relation to their business as basis for comparison or measurement such as we have in equity theory. Culture is a way of life of people and corporate organisations. You cannot discuss organisation culture if the researcher fails to to mention the identity of the scope he is covering since what happens in local culture differs from international dimension of looking at culture. Also, culture in MSMEs in a particular country is different from how it may likely operate in another country even within the same country.
I believe research should have a scope of discussion and peculiarity to that scope must be discussed in order to diffuse misconception of ideas of other corporate culture of other jobs e.g banking, insurance culture differs from educational culture. This is a contribution from Business Administration perspectives.
Organizational culture refers to the organization expectations, philosophy, and values that hold it together, and is expressed in its self-image, and interactions with the outside world.
Organization cultures differ much even in the same organizational type and name. See for instance my discussion of high- and low-trust cultures in quite similar automatic processing plants in my book "Mismanagement. 'Jumpers,; and Morality." Routledge, New York, 2017.
