ABSTRACT

Identity crisis has become a major source of inefficiency and ineffectiveness of individuals and organizations. One of the strategic ways for solving this crisis is through identifying the culture (personality) of organizations. The study identified organizational culture typologies of construction firms in Ghana, which is in response to the need for culture studies in construction and the unavailability of such studies in the Ghanaian Construction Industry. The study was quantitative; data were collected from Indigenous contractors in Ghana using a questionnaire survey. Analysis was done using Mean Score Ranking, Relative Importance Index and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Workplace Culture, Business Culture, System Culture and Group Culture were the identified typologies for the study. The cultures identified reveal the strategic areas of construction organizations which need management planning and commitment, to help in reshaping them to be competitive in the business environment.

Conclusion

Every individual is well concerned about their personality. The metaphor used for the organization is culture which can be simplified as the image of the organization. The problems raised by the study led to the development of the overall aim of the study which was to explore the organizational culture typologies in the Ghanaian Construction Firms. Workplace Culture, Business Culture, System Culture and Group Culture were the culture typologies identified among Ghanaian Construction Firms. Further culture-related studies in the Ghanaian Construction Industry will be based on this study since it is the first of its kind in Ghana. The study also contributed the body of knowledge with regard to organizational culture in developing countries. It is proposed that further research should establish the relationship of the identified organizational typologies to business management concepts like productivity improvement, innovation and partnership
