Book excerpt: The Kilmann-Saxton Culture-Gap Survey is a self-report assessment that takes only fifteen minutes to complete and another ten minutes to graph the Culture-Gap Profile of a work group of five to fifteen members This profile pinoints the difference between actual and desired cultural norms. Additional Culture-Gap Profiles can be calculated for larger work units, including the entire organization. Following completion of these graphs, the members of one or more work groups can begin discussing how to close the largest Culture-Gaps that were identified in four areas: Task Support, Task Innovation, Social Relationships, and Personal Freedom. Previously, unconscious, unstated "rules of the game" (actual norms) often undermined everyone's best efforts and intentions. Once the these culture-gaps have been closed (or at least brought within an acceptable threshold), members can effectively proceed with other change initiatives and improvement programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the Kilmann-Saxton Culture-Gap(r) Survey, these work sheets help participants develop unique lists of their most dysfunctional actual norms (the unwritten rules of the game) and then establish more desired norms (the new rules that will enhance both performance and satisfaction). Once these culture-gaps have been identified, additional work sheets help participants to use the five steps of problem management (sensing problems, defining problems, deriving solutions, implementing solutions, and evaluating outcomes) to close their largest culture-gaps. Participants are also asked to design and use an informal sanctioning system in order to help one another switch from the old norms to the new one

Download or read book Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment written by Michael Harrison and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1998-07-23 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment presents sharp-image diagnosis, a distinctive approach to organizational consultation and planned change, that reflects current research and theorizing about organizational change and effectiveness. The authors draw on multiple analytical frames to produce empirically grounded models of sources of ineffectiveness and forces for change, showing how consultants, managers, and applied researchers can break free of unproductive practices and ways of thinking to avoid uncritical adoption of management fads. They offer workable solutions to critical problems and demonstrate ways to meet organizational challenges like market downturns, technological change, and alliances with other organizations. Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment covers diagnosis and assessment of work groups, organizations, and whole systems. This volume develops analytical approaches for problem solving and strategy formation in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Diagnosis of public policy issues, like assessments of the effectiveness of health systems, is also addressed. Many of the models and techniques contribute to assessing the changing nature of the workplace, examining organizational decline and other life-cycle transitions; gendering; change and diversity in organizational culture and in workforce composition; the spread of new forms of work organization, including teams, flat hierarchies, and networks; new uses of information technology; and mergers and alliances among organizations. Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment will be invaluable to advanced students, consultants, and applied behavioral scientists in social sciences, management, social work, organizational and industrial psychology, organizational sociology, nursing, and public administration.

Download or read book Examining Applied Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology written by Christiansen, Bryan and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology) contributes to an organization’s success by improving the job performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between employees and management. Examining Applied Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology provides updated research on applied I-O psychology within a culturally conscious context that can be used for future research directions in the field by academicians and practitioners alike. Covering topics such as employability, motivation theories, and workplace culture, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for I-O psychologists, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, human resource managers, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
