Signature Assignment: Critiquing Organizational Culture

When ascertaining organizational culture, it is important
to utilize an objective, standardized assessment instrument. Such instruments
provide data that can be analyzed to yield a validated and quantifiable image
of overall culture, which then serves as a starting point for bringing about
identified change. There are many of these instruments available for
organizations to use, and as long as they are objective and standardized,
providing answers to the questions leadership seeks regarding culture, any of them
would be suitable to use.

Review the resources listed in the Books and Resources area
below to prepare for this week’s assignment(s).

For this assignment, assume you have
been asked by organizational stakeholders to assess your organization’s
culture. This can be your organization or one with which you are familiar.

Based on what you have learned from
the books, resources, and your own research, develop an assessment
questionnaire with at least 10 questions and scoring rubric on diversity and
cultural awareness. Next, find three to five individuals from your selected
organization and have them complete the questionnaire. Then, using your scoring
rubric interpret the data based on their scores.

Prepare a comprehensive report that
interprets and critiques your organization’s culture based on the findings from
the individuals’ responses. This report should provide your findings to
pertinent stakeholders. Include the following in your report:

• Explain the methodology and/or
  process of the assessment instrument for the stakeholders. Include your
  questionnaire and scoring rubric as appendices to the report.

  of your organization’s culture, including both positive and negative
  findings.

  collected using the assessment instrument, determine at least three areas
  in need of change.
• Recommend improvements for the
  organization’s culture.

Support your report with at least
seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources,
other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be
included.

Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages
