Abstract
To inquire into the relationship between organizational culture and effective human services delivery, this exploratory cross- sectional study collects data from a nonprofit sectarian human service agency in the Midwest (n = 92) in an effort to assess the applicability of the Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI) in a human services setting. Results of the quantitative analyses of the OCI create an organizational culture profile of the agency and find the existence of multiple cultures within the agency and strong culture-performance link. Special attention is given to the influences of the Humanistic-Encouraging, Dependent, and Perfectionistic cultural norms on service delivery for foster care children. Limitations and implications of this exploratory study are discussed.
