Presenting an Organizational Culture Model for the Implementation of General Administrative System Policies Using the Grounded Theory Method
Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a model of organizational culture that facilitates the implementation of the general policies issued for Iran’s administrative system. This research employed a qualitative method based on grounded theory. A semi-structured interview tool and purposive sampling method were used for data collection. The validity of the data was evaluated through formal validation techniques. Interviews were conducted with cultural managers who possess extensive organizational management experience, continuing until theoretical saturation was achieved. Ultimately, 12 individuals participated in the study. To analyze the collected data, the researchers applied open coding, axial coding, and selective coding techniques. Based on the research findings and data analysis, 64 concepts, 14 subcategories, and 4 main themes were identified as the components constituting the organizational culture model for implementing the general administrative system policies. These components are analyzed within five domains: causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences. According to the findings, the proposed model suitable for implementing the general policies of the administrative system must be grounded in four core elements: excellence orientation, rule of law orientation, transformational orientation, and idealism orientation. This model should provide an appropriate foundation for the development of an excellence-oriented organizational culture, and more specifically, it should be shaped based on a rule-of-law organizational culture. Moreover, the model should establish a suitable environment for transformational practices in the structure and function of organizational culture and foster the emergence of an ideal-oriented organizational culture.
