The impact of organisational culture on organisational learning and attitudes concerning change from an institutional perspective

Abstract

Empirical research in 44 Estonian organisations has indicated the impact of institutional environments on how orientations of organisational culture influence oranisational learning and employee attitudes toward change. Aspects of organisational culture influencing organisational change – task orientation and relationship orientation – have a different impact on the formation of attitudes toward change and organisational learning depending on the level of institutional development at the time that people commenced their working life. The authors propose a model for highlighting the impact of aspects of organisational culture on organisational learning and attitudes toward change in the institutional context.
