ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Abstract
Organizational culture in higher education institutions (HEIs) significantly influences institutional effectiveness, shaping academic and administrative processes. Despite extensive research on organizational culture, there remains a gap in understanding its unique impact within HEIs. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining how different cultural orientations—such as clan, adhocracy, and hierarchical cultures—affect key performance indicators like student engagement, faculty satisfaction, and adaptability. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines a systematic literature review (SLR) of recent studies from databases such as Scopus and IEEE Xplore with a survey of HEI students. Results reveal that clan cultures foster collaboration and satisfaction, adhocracy cultures enhance adaptability, and hierarchical cultures provide stability but may limit innovation. The findings suggest that HEIs could benefit from hybrid cultural models that balance collaboration, innovation, and stability to meet evolving educational demands. This study’s insights underscore the importance of strategically managing organizational culture in HEIs to improve institutional performance and responsiveness. Future research should explore flexible cultural frameworks that align with the specific needs of HEIs, supporting both academic success and operational resilience.
