Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI): An Analysis of Organizational Culture Mapping at PT BBB Bandung

Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) consists of six dimensions that describe organizational culture. Assessment of organizational culture is important to be the basis for future organizational development. This study uses non-causal-comparative research. The purpose of the study was to analyze organizational culture at PT BBB using OCAI (organization culture assessment instrument). The results of the study showed that Adhocracy culture and Clan culture were shown from a total presentation of 26% for Adhocracy culture and 26% for Clan culture. This shows that currently there is a sense of commitment to creating innovation and development, dynamic and entrepreneurial as well as commitment and concern for members. This is not much different from what is expected by all employees for the perception of culture that is expected for the future

Scientific mapping of green organizational culture: Main schools of thought and topical trends

AbstractThe green transition is increasingly viewed as a path to prosperity, or even survival, for organizations. In several countries, greening is vigorously pursued across various organizational activities, including organizational culture, which has garnered significant scholarly attention. However, there appears to be no comprehensive literature review on green organizational culture (GOC) indexed by reputable databases like Scopus. This paper aims to provide a bibliometric overview of GOC. A total of 558 documents from Scopus, spanning 1996–2023, were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The study examines the research performance on GOC, including volume growth trajectory, document types, contributing countries, international collaboration, research groups, influential authors, and prominent sources in GOC research. Notably, it identifies five main schools of thought and two topical trends in GOC literature. This may be the first effort to review GOC literature using Scopus data, highlighting performance and mapping the scientific landscape of this field.

Cultural values and digital gap: Overview of behavioral patterns.

The study uses different statistical techniques to understand the relationship between variables explaining the digital divide and classification based on The Inglehart-Welzel Cultural Map for 2023. To achieve this purpose variables focusing on Digital Penetration (the percentage of internet and social media users and mobile cellular connections), Operating Systems share (iOS and Android), Device Traffic (laptop/mobile phone-based web traffic) as well as Mobile Commerce variables (bills and payments using mobile internet) were included in the analysis. To minimize any effects arithmetic means of data was calculated.: The results from one-way ANOVA tests indicate significant differences among groups classified by cultural values for almost all measured variables of digitalization. The mean squares and F-values across variables like cellular mobile connections, internet users, and active social media users are significant indicating a shift towards more secular and self-expressive cultural values. The results of the GLM procedure show that significant portions of the total variance in digitalization variables are associated with membership in groups based on the cultural map. This suggests that cultural classifications can explain substantial differences in digital behavior and preferences across populations. Spearman's correlation coefficients showed strong positive correlations between Traditional/Secular values and several digitalization metrics, such as the use of mobile phones or the internet for payments, and negative correlations with others like share of web traffic by device type (mobile vs. laptop/computer). These correlations suggest that cultural values play a substantial role in influencing digital habits and accessibility.

(Amoralny) familizm: propozycja rekonceptualizacji z wykorzystaniem psychologii ewolucyjnej i międzykulturowej

In his 1958 book Moral Basis of a Backward Society, Edward Banfield introduced the term amoral familism to describe social relations and values in a poor rural community in southern Italy. In my analysis, I propose to abandon the value-laden epithet "amoral" and consider familism as an evolutionary adaptive strategy activated in times of scarcity or crises. I base the thesis of the evolutionary roots of familism on the inclusive fitness theory (Hamilton 1964) and the theory of kin and reciprocal altruism (Trivers 1971). The perspective of evolutionary psychology makes it possible to see the positive functions of familism and to propose a new biological-cultural understanding of familism. Familism has so far been diagnosed primarily "indirectly" in sociological studies of bonding (and bridging) capital and in research on social trust conducted as part of cyclical social surveys such as the World Values Survey and the European Social Survey. In the search for accurate measures of biological-cultural familism we can additionally turn to the research of cross-cultural psychologists conducted for international management. I argue that the dimension of particularism on the 7-dimensional cultural map of Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner (2002) and the dimension of in-group collectivism on the 9-dimensional cultural map of the GLOBE project (House et al. 2004), can valuably complement the measures used in sociological sciences and make the diagnosis of familism more reliable. Finally, I call for in-depth research on Polish familism aimed at testing whether it is possible to build bridging capital on the basis of familist bonding capital.

Kajian Budaya Dalam Keberagaman Pada Komunikasi Antarabudaya Pada Siswa SMA MARDI YUANA KOTA SUKABUMI

This study aims to explore the impact of intercultural communication related to multiculturalism, cultural differences, and language as a cultural map at SMA Mardi Yuana, Sukabumi City, Indonesia, on efforts to build national unity. The author used qualitative research methods with semi-structured interview techniques, through a case study approach from the participants. The results of the interviews were thematically analyzed by the author and then grouped based on the similarity of views expressed by the informants. The author found that there are significant differences in students' opinions regarding tolerance and multiculturalism based on gender. Male student informants tend to have a higher tendency to have a negative opinion on problems caused by differences in ethnicity, religion and race compared to female students. Gender plays a role in students' perceptions of social and cultural issues. These findings highlight the importance of education on tolerance and inclusion in schools. By understanding the complexity of students' views and the factors that have an impact on them, schools and educational institutions can design more effective programs in promoting tolerance, respect and inclusion among students, thus forming a generation that is more empathetic, inclusive and appreciative of multiculturalism.

Food city Ho Chi Minh City: designing relational mapping of the culture of place

ABSTRACT This research investigates the novel design and implementation of a relational mapping of city spaces, based on research conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The experimental mapping employs relational methods of exploration to document and understand the city. A special Memefest mapping workshop used food as a key medium for some of the relationships that underpin the culture, community, and the city itself. This paper outlines the design of a sensory based exploration and creative mapping of food culture in Ho Chi Minh City and puts special emphasis in the atmospheres that are created through the relations between food, community, and the structures that underlie these. Lastly the paper shows an example of installations and explains how they work as (post) representational maps of relations and atmospheres.

Examining Organizational Culture with OCAI

Abstract This research aims to analyse organizational culture mapping at the Faculty of Economics, University of Borneo, Tarakan. It employs a descriptive quantitative approach and utilizes the Stratified Random Sampling method for sampling. The research sample consists of 93 respondents from the Faculty of Economics, including students, alumni, lecturers, and staff. The analytical method employed is the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), with the assistance of Microsoft Excel 2010. The research findings reveal that the current dominant organizational culture profile is the Clan culture, emphasizing HR development, loyalty, and the organization's familial function. Additionally, the Hierarchy culture, characterized by a structured work environment and stringent controls, also holds prominence. Conversely, the anticipated organizational culture profile underscores maintaining the Clan culture while embracing new cultural shifts in the future, particularly towards an Adhocracy culture. This culture emphasizes fostering a dynamic work environment that encourages members to freely explore and express creative ideas, fostering innovation. JEL classification numbers: J43. Keywords: Organizational culture, OCAI Mapping.

Periodicals beyond Hierarchies: Challenging Geopolitical and Social ‘Centres’ and ‘Peripheries’

This special issue of the Journal of European Periodical Studies emerges from the 10th International European Society for Periodical Research (ESPRit) conference and postgraduate workshop, held in September 2022 at the Museum of Fine Arts – Central European Research Institute for Art History (KEMKI) in Budapest, Hungary, in collaboration with the Petőfi Literary Museum – Kassák Museum. Focused on the theme of ‘Periodicals beyond Hierarchies: Challenging Geopolitical and Social “Centres” and “Peripheries” through the Press’, the conference attracted scholars from diverse backgrounds who explored core–periphery tensions in various contexts. The essays included in this issue, stemming from selected presentations at the Budapest conference, offer an introduction to the spatial breadth and historical dimensions of the centre–periphery lens within periodical studies. Building upon theoretical foundations dating back to Raúl Prebisch’s recognition of core–periphery disparities in the 1920s, and subsequent critiques such as Immanuel Wallerstein’s identification of semi-peripheral regions, these essays critically engage with the evolving discourse surrounding core–periphery dynamics. Ultimately, this collection encourages a nuanced understanding of periodicals as cultural maps that survey the complexities of collaboration, competition, and conflict across diverse geographic landscapes. By doing so, it prompts critical interrogation of the centre–periphery model, questions its utility in enriching our understanding of periodical dynamics, and challenges preconceived notions of centrality and peripherality within periodical studies specifically, and cultural studies more generally.

Investigating the relation between emotional and cultural mapping by considering collective memory in Urban design from perspective of citizens (case study: Tehran, Iran)

Perception of Citizens about a city is an essential issue in urban planning. Hence, having an understanding of the people’s perception can help designers improve city planning. This study aimed to discover the emotional and cultural parameters of urban places by considering the collective memory of citizens. The main gap in the studied subjects was the lack of a combination of cultural and emotional mapping from the perspective of citizens. To fill the mentioned gap, the findings of this study emphasize the importance of engendering emotions and cultural mapping in the citizens in urban spaces. Respectively, a quantitative method was conducted through a comprehensive case study in the form of a questionnaire. Results indicated that emotional mapping is more important than cultural mapping for collective memory. Moreover, emotional parameters were substantial to female participants as cultural factors were for male respondents. Same as gender, Level of education, and age were two factors that affect cultural mapping or emotional mapping choices. Besides, pride, a sense of power, pleasure, excitement, peace, compassion, vitality, and happiness were found important emotions in this study. Our findings revealed that designing urban places based on the culture of each society has a significant role in engendering emotions and drawing the interest of citizens.

Climate Change and Cultural Heritage: A Global Mapping of the UNESCO Thematic Indicators in Conjunction with Advanced Technologies for Cultural Sustainability

This study investigates the relationship between cultural heritage and climate change, assessing the global implementation of advanced technologies in line with UNESCO’s Thematic Indicators for Cultural Sustainability. Few studies have been conducted on this topic; hence, theoretical background examines the keywords related to cultural heritage preservation, conservation, restoration, climate change mitigation, and adaptation, as well as the intersection of culture and climate change. It also analyses the definitions provided by leading global organizations and explores the use of advanced technologies in protecting cultural heritage. The research methodology is based on an analytical method consisting of a bibliometric assessment and a scientometric assessment. The bibliometric and scientometric analyses map occurrences, frequencies, and intercorrelations of these keywords with UNESCO Thematic Indicators and advanced technology utilization. The findings reveal a predominance of conservation-related Thematic Indicators, suggesting a conservative approach to cultural sustainability, particularly for environmental resilience, wealth, and livelihoods. In terms of advanced technologies, laser scanning and photogrammetry are used for both conservation and restoration purposes, while chromatography and virtual tours are mainly applied to conservation and preservation practices. Otherwise, infrared thermography, X-ray imaging, and online platforms are used, respectively, for heritage preservation, restoration, and conservation. On the other hand, ground-penetrating radar and remote sensing exhibit fewer connections to heritage protection. The mapping of culture and climate change also highlights the importance of conservation in responding to changing climate conditions. Climate adaptation is closely linked to both conservation and preservation efforts, highlighting the critical role of cultural heritage in fostering climate resilience.

The Many Faces of Emigration

The Emigration Museum in Gdynia, open since 2015, is an essential stop on the cultural map of the Tri-City area. The distinctive building of the former Maritime Station is not just a gem of modernist architecture – it has become a powerful symbol of the sociocultural transformations that the city of Gdynia and Poland itself have undergone in recent decades.

The politics of development in Ecuador: Accounting for plural rationalities

AbstractRecent protests and tense elections in Ecuador suggest a strong polarization regarding the development model. The diversity of vindications underscores the plurality of development notions, rendering it a wicked problem, which is characterized by the presence of multiple definitions. Employing sociocultural viability theory, four ideal‐typical and irreducible development models are found, illustrated by neoliberalism, developmentalism, multiple postdevelopmentalist alternatives among which Buen Vivir is the most representative, and a chimera. Locating the most important current political movements and parties in this cultural map allows us to make sense of Ecuador's political landscape and to point to ways to address this problem effectively and legitimately by producing clumsy development models, which seek to incorporate all worldviews.

Introduction

This themed issue of RISE seeks to remap the Irish literary and cultural landscapes in the middle decades of the twentieth century. It defines this period as from the 1930s to the 1970s — roughly coinciding with the conservative years of ‘de Valera’s Ireland’, starting from the ratification of Bunreacht na hÉireann in 1937 supervised by de Valera through Seán Lemass’ programmes of economic expansion which led to Ireland’s European Economic Community membership in 1973. It understands literary and cultural landscapes in the broadest terms: horizontally as a geographic space with borders real and imagined; vertically as a space where high and low cultures clash and commingle. This issue includes six essays by contributors based across the globe. They show us the various forms of border-crossing — geographic, linguistic, generic — that contribute to a fuller map of Irish literature and culture in the mid-twentieth century.

Siberia and the Far East in the Project “The Map of Bookstores in Russia”

Assessing the state of the bookselling infrastructure by creating an interactive map of the country’s bookstores in order to identify the potential for its development and search for ways to optimize it is an important factor in improving the information exchange of the book industry. The article analyzes the results of the first stage (2023) of monitoring bookselling enterprises in the Siberian-Far Eastern region within the framework of the project “The map of bookstores of Russia” (“The Cultural Map of Russia. Literature. Reading”). The research methodology is based on a combination of comparative typological analysis of monitoring data and the landscape-reconstructing approach. Statistical data on the number of bookselling facilities and their availability in federal districts and cities of Russia are summarized. The information on the location and number of bookselling facilities in the cities of Siberia and the Far East is studied in detail, leaders and outsiders are identified. The representation of federal, regional, and local network formations and independent bookstores in the region is considered. The activities of leading enterprises operating in the region for many years and recently opened bookstores are evaluated. The all-Russian trends and regional features of the development of the bookselling infrastructure are determined. The analysis of monitoring data for bookselling facilities in Siberia and the Far East showed the following. The modern regional bookselling infrastructure, along with its inherent all-Russian features, is characterized by: expansion and strengthening of the position of the federal bookselling network “The City of Read”; significant growth of the Internet channel due to the ongoing consolidation of the main players and the growing popularity of marketplace platforms. At the same time the bookselling infrastructure has a number of regional features. They are the reduction in the activities of the oldest regional network formations, successful adaptation and expansion of local large and medium-size network formations; the emergence and successful operation of special children’s bookstores-clubs, as wekk as club-backroom format stores.

Role of Cultural Factors on Entrepreneurship Across the Diverse Economic Stages: Insights from GEM and GLOBE Data

Abstract This article conducts an exploration of culture’s roles on entrepreneurial activities among countries at different economic stages. Culture factors from the GLOBE are converted into motivation culture and hygiene culture. The framework of this research is derived from Herzberg’s motivation hygiene theory. Total entrepreneurial activity (TEA) and the ratio of opportunity-driven to necessity-driven entrepreneurship (OPP/NEC) from global entrepreneurship monitor (GEM) are taken as measures for both the quantity and quality of entrepreneurial behavior. Panel regression with fixed effects is employed to test both direct and interaction effects. The direct relations show that the improvement of economic conditions discourages the TEA, while promotes the OPP/NEC; motivation culture significantly promotes OPP/NEC, while makes no difference in TEA; and hygiene culture significantly promotes TEA, while reduces OPP/NEC. In terms of interactive effects, motivation culture reduces the containment of economic development on TEA, yet hygiene culture hurts its promotion on OPP/NEC; motivation culture mitigates hygiene culture’s stimulation of TEA, while hygiene culture damages motivation culture’s fostering of OPP/NEC. Finally, a global culture map of quadrant distribution diagram is visually drawn with the corresponding culture scores. Notably, countries or regions in quadrant IV with high motivation culture and low hygiene culture demonstrate the most favorable entrepreneurial quality as well as high economic development.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: EXPLORING PARTICIPATORY TERRITORIAL APPROACHES IN MUNICIPAL CULTURE AGENDAS

This paper investigates the role of community engagement in municipal culture agendas through participatory territorial approaches. Municipalities increasingly recognize the importance of involving communities in cultural development initiatives to ensure inclusivity, diversity, and sustainability. Drawing on case studies and theoretical frameworks, this study explores how participatory approaches are implemented in municipal culture agendas to empower local communities, foster cultural expression, and enhance social cohesion. Key elements such as community involvement, stakeholder collaboration, cultural mapping, and resource allocation are examined to elucidate the dynamics of participatory territorial approaches. By examining the intersection of communityengagement and cultural policymaking at the municipal level, this research contributes to understanding effective strategies for promoting cultural vibrancy and community well-being.

S.V.Rachmaninov and his circle on the Southern Coast of Crimea: new pages of the history of Russian musical culture of the late XIX – early XX century.

The subject of the study is the personal history of the outstanding Russian composer S.V. Rachmaninov and other representatives of the national musical culture of the late XIX – early XX century in the historical space of the Southern coast of Crimea. The literature has repeatedly suggested that composers and musicians played a significant role in the formation of the "cultural landscape" of the Crimea of the late XIX – early XX century. However, as the authors of the article have seen studying the history of country resorts formed on the Southern Coast at the beginning of the XX century, there are still a lot of "white spots" on this "historical and cultural map". The elimination of these gaps makes it possible to fill in both the history of the Southern Coast of Crimea and biographical information about cultural actors. With the help of complex work with historical sources – documents from the State Archive of the Republic of Crimea, reference and bio-bibliographic literature, ego documents (memoirs, correspondence), including ones that have been poorly introduced into historiographical circulation, the history of S.V. Rachmaninov's stay on the Southern Coast of Crimea is reconstructed, his visits are placed in the context of the historical space in flux. The circumstances of S.V. Rachmaninov's stay on the Southern Coast of Crimea in the late XIX – early XX century have been clarified or re-established, and related historical monuments and places in Simeiz, Mishor and Yalta have been identified. The reconstructed pages of life and creative activity on the Southern Coast of Crimea by S.V. Rachmaninov, M.A. Stankevich (Golostenova), F.I. Chaliapin and their circle of colleagues, relatives, friends and acquaintances from among the creative intelligentsia, South Coast summerfolk, patrons and patrons of cultural life undoubtedly complement the picture of a rich cultural life in the historical space of the Southern Coast Crimea in the late XIX – early XX century, contributing to understanding Crimea as a important place of "historical memory" of Russia.
