“…These three initiatives are related to the 'organization' which leads to suggest that women seem to be more focused on 'fix the organization first' than 'fix the industry' or 'fix the women's personal situation' (see Table 4 for details). This finding corresponds closely with the recent findings of Quelhas et al (2019) who concluded that, it is extremely important to understand organizational behaviour in the face of many challenges, such as diversity of the workforce (for example, in gender, age, and ethnicity). Organizational behaviour provides a complex system to help explain, anticipate, and control its culture by comprising the whole system of variables such as organization's structure, set of practices, policies and procedures.…”

For more than two decades, construction industry leaders have made attempts to attract more women into professional roles to ease skills shortages and diversify the workforce. However, the number of women working in the industry has not improved significantly. This paper reviews previous literature on gender diversity in the construction industry and disseminates findings from a survey which investigated whether there are significant differences in self-perception between men and women in construction consultancies operating in the United Kingdom (UK). The survey questionnaire was completed by 60 men and 57 women. Analysis of the result confirmed that women tend to follow 'zig-zag' career development paths and that 'global self-worth' of women over the age of 40 is the lowest among all ages. However, little variation was found on initiatives to improve retention of women in construction consultancies. The results reveal that both men and women regarded 'improved flexible working-arrangements', 'transparent promotion criteria', 'return to work training', 'outreach programmes to schools' as the most crucial initiatives to retain women. This reinforces the call for organizations to introduce innovative strategic plan to change the masculine culture of the construction profession and to modernise working practice away from the existing rather outdated traditional structure.

Culture in construction has recently received a lot of attention from practitioners and academia. The purpose of this study is to capture the map of culture in construction projects to provide the picture of culture in construction. This article conducted a two-stage review of culture in construction, including Scientometric analysis and content analysis. First, we carried out Scientometric analysis of 173 relevant articles (from 12 journals) to visualize the literature of culture in construction from 1989 to 2022. The results indicated that the high-published contributors of countries were Peoples R China, Australia, the USA, England, and Singapore. We also identified the critical institutions, high cited articles, keyword co-occurrence, cluster analysis, as well as the research interests and methods in this field. Moreover, we discussed the primary topics of culture in construction based on content analysis. More attention had been paid to the definition and measurement of culture in construction. The measurement of culture remains a promising and controversial area in the future due to the debate over quantitative or qualitative methods. Most of the current research studies use quantitative methods such as questionnaire surveys to explore culture in construction. In addition, scholars have called for exploring the formation of culture in construction which will help managers develop an appropriate culture within the project organisation, particularly in mega projects. This study offers the current state of culture in construction, as well as future trends that promote interdisciplinary collaboration in this area.

“…This model (shown in Figure 1) proposes two main dimensions representing the key characteristics of organizational culture, and twelve indicator levels representing the extent of inflexibility. This model has a direct impact on organisational culture and offers an innovative framework over other models of organisational culture (Quelhas et al, 2019). (Denison & Mishra, 1995) Certain specific traits are highlighted in the Denison Model of Organisational Culture, and it is important for a firm master these for the purpose of working effectively.…”

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of organisational culture on organisational performance in the context of the hospitality industry in the UK. Organisational culture was studied based on the Denison model. The study was conducted based on a quantitative research method and primary data was collected, with questionnaires, from 440 employees in the hospitality industry. The study reveals that organisational culture significantly affects organisational performance. Moreover, it is found that adaptability and mission are two key elements of organisational culture that significantly affect organisational performance. Furthermore, intrapreneurship fully mediates the relationship between adaptability and organisational performance. In addition, intrapreneurship fully mediates the relationship between mission and organisational performance. Hence, managers working in the hospitality industry are required to give considerable attention to adaptability and mission as two important elements of organisational culture in order to achieve intrapreneurship, and to ultimately improve the performance of an organisation.
