Abstract

Organizational culture, as relatively permanent and specific system of values, belifes, standards and customs, that determines behaviour and directs employees' activities, is a characteristic of any organization and have impact on its all activities. Conclusions about it can be made based on what people say, do and think within the organization. The main aim of this work is to explore characteristics of organizational culture on faculties of social sciencies and humanities at the University of Mostar. The aim is to conclude, based on responses of teaching staff of these faculties, whether we can speak more about dynamic or static organizational culture. For this purpose, we have analyzed six groups of factors: (1) development and entrepreneurial orientation factors, (2) decentralization factors, (3) social orientation factors, (4) bureaucracy factors, (5) maintaining status quo factors, (6) formalization factors. Research results have showed that characteristics of static organizational culture are more present at the analyzed faculties.
