Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Peninsula Technikon, 2004. / Organizational identification has been regarded as a new control strategy for
modern organizations. High levels of organizational members' identification
result in various benefits to organizational performance.
Among organizational theorists there exists a strong school of thought, which
sees organizational culture as the antecedent to organizational identification.
Culture, and therefore also organizational culture, is a complex and integrative
phenomenon which encompasses the values, assumptions, interactions and
behaviours within a particular group. As point of departure, this research
adopted Martin's (2000:26) argument that culture is best studied through the
cultural artefacts, being the most visible manifestations also of deep-seated
values and assumptions. Previous studies on organizational culture-related organizational behaviours
have been conducted mostly in a Western-cultural context. It was hoped, by
this research, to fill the theoretical gap by establishing a link between
organizational culture and organizational identification in Chinese
organizations.
The relationship between organizational culture and organizational
identification was investigated through a survey conducted in three Chinese
organizations representing a cross section of industry.
