Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument
The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) is based on Cameron & Quinn’s competitive values theory. The purpose of the OCAI is to assess six key dimensions of organizational culture. In completing the instrument, you will be providing a picture of how your organization operates and the values that characterize it. There are no right or wrong answers; each organization has its own unique culture. Be as accurate as you can in responding to the questions.
You are asked to rate your organization in the questions. To determine which organization to rate you will want to report on the unit which is managed by your boss, the strategic business unit to which you belong or the organizational unit of which you are a member that has clear identifiable boundaries. Focus on the unit at the level that you know best, rather than the largest unit possible. For example, if you work for a multinational firm, do not focus on the firm as a whole but on the
anch for which you work in the local DFW area.
The OCAI has six questions. Each question has four alternatives. Divide 100 points among these four alternatives depending on the extent to which each alternative is similar to your own organization. Give more points to alternatives that are most similar to your organization. For example, in question 1, if your think Alternative A is very similar to your organization, alternatives B and C are somewhat similar and alternative D is hardly similar at all, you might give 55 points to A, 20 points each to B and C, and 5 points to D. Just be sure that your total equals 100 points for each question.
Record your ratings of how your organization actually is in the column labeled Now. After you rate your organization in the Now column, return to the survey again and rate the how you wish your organization was in the Prefe
ed column. You can identify gaps between what your organization is and what you would like it to be.
