“…A number of researchers have attempted to describe various models of organizational effectiveness (Mahoney & Weitzel, 1969;Campbell, Bownas, Peterson, & Dunnett, 1974;Engel, 1977;Goodman & Pennings, 1976;Steers, Porter, Mowday, & Stone, 1975;Price, 1968;Coulter, 1979;Mahoney & Frost, 1974). The dimensions of effectiveness growing out of several dozen models were cataloged by Campbell et al, 1974 Perhaps a better way to think of organizational effectiveness is as an underlying construct which has no direct operational definition, but which constitutes a model or theory of what organizational effectiveness is (1974, p.5).…”

“…Following this approach, Campbell, et al (1974) describe two basic types of models of effectiveness which they label goal centered and natural systems. In a separate paper, Coulter (1979) defines three types of effectiveness models: behavioral-attitudinal, process and goal attainment.…”

“…In this context, Campbell et al (1974) noted that, while the construct of organizational effectiveness is itself a subject of much debate, the "criteria of effectiveness" is most frequently cited---explicitly or Implicitly--as the goal of planned organizational change. Another issue which emerges during the diagnostic stage is resistance to change.…”

Campbell et al (1974) created a list of 39 indicators which, in their view, defined organizational effectiveness. Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983) conducted factor analysis on these indicators and organized them into four major factors along two dimensions.…”

Abstract:The current study uses an adapted version of Cameron and Quinn"s OCAI questionnaire to test the organisational culture of the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, as it is perceived by its students, and also to discover what type of organisational culture the same students think would be ideal for them. An additional objective of this paper is to identify possible gaps between the perceived and the ideal cultures expressed by the students. Our sample includes 128 questionnaires completed by bachelor students from 6 different majors at the faculty. According to our results, the respondents perceive to a significant degree that the faculty"s organisational culture is at an average level of clan, market and hierarchy cultures, while it also exhibits a relatively low level of the adhocracy culture. Their ideal faculty culture would be one with average adhocracy, average hierarchy, high clan and low market features. Significant gaps are identified between the perceived and ideal cultures in all the four types: students would prefer an increase in clan and adhocracy cultures, and a decrease in the other two cultures.
