The dynamics of organizational culture in the private, government, and semi-government companies in Poland

Abstract

This paper examines the dynamics of culture in Poland in three phases by measuring multilevel cultural dimensions. The first phase examines cultural changes over time, the second phase looks at cultural dynamics by comparing Polish respondents with those of USA and Russia, and the third phase looks into organizational cultural dynamics by analyzing respondents in five types of Polish business organizations. The business organizations include government, semi government, and cooperatives, domestic private and foreign owned companies (joint ventures and wholly owned companies). The study found that there are cultural dynamics within certain demographic groups and the five different Polish business organizations, however the dynamics are still most strongly influenced by the preexisting national cultural backgrounds.
