The Organizational Culture Profile (OCP)
was developed by O'Reilly, Chatman, and Caldwell (1991) to calculate
person-organization fit, Respondents who are familiar with the
organization are given cards with 54 statements reflecting individual
and/or organizational values and asked to sort them into each of nine
categories, based on the degree to which the statements are
characteristic of the organization studied. |
|
Analysts of individual responses to the
OCP found that 27 of the items loaded on seven dimensions. Three
dimensions related to how work is handled: detail, stability, and
innovation. Two dimensions, team orientation and respect for people,
describe values or norms for interpersonal relationships. Two
additional dimensions describe norms for individual actions: outcome
orientation and aggressiveness. |
|
The 54 OCP items are listed in the
appendix the the primary references, listed below. |
|
A 40-item version of the OCP was used by
Cable and Judge (1997). |
|
Reliability |
|
The reliability for the ratings of the
organization's values obtained with OCP is assessed using the
Spearman-Brown prophecy formula. Reliability ranged from .84 to
.94 five published studies. |
