Theme

Organisational culture

The publications mainly explore how organisational culture relates to innovation, digitalisation, rules and behaviour, and the gap between how the top and the front line see that culture.

Topics

The conclusions and topics were compiled with AI from the publications on this page, with the sources alongside. How that works · How we count

What the publications show

  1. Two publications point to a gap between the top and the front line. In the US TALIS data, school leaders rate the school climate more favourably than teachers do, with less collaboration the wider that gap, and Gallup measures little employee trust in leadership.

  2. Several studies link culture to the success of digitalisation. A review by Stockholm University names weak digital attitudes, silos between departments and a shortage of skills as the most frequently cited barriers to digital innovation.

  3. In the public sector, studies find that culture steers behaviour and choices. A culture of participation and openness makes Italian municipal officials more proactive, and in Finnish public procurement, rigidity rooted in culture and habit leads to fewer bids.

  4. Two case studies describe culture change. Vanderbilt Health saw patient experience improve after a multi-year programme with visible backing from leadership, and a four-day working week at a small company created tension between the old culture and the new.

  5. Two studies of regulation find that culture determines how rules play out. In the financial sector, the same regulatory pressure leads to different sustainability choices depending on leadership and culture, and in high-risk biomedical research compliance depends on professional judgement.

Culture

Trust and culture as seen by executives and by employees

  • Gap between the top and the front line
  • Trust in leadership
  • Unwritten rules

Executives think employees trust them and understand the culture. Recent measurements show a widening gap: fewer than half of employees trust their leadership, and only one in five feels strongly connected to their own organisation's culture. Leadership is the last to notice.
