| Summary: | A total of 172 employees rated 15 cultural values; first as theyactually were manifested within the organization and secondly how theyshould be manifested. Differences between these ratings formed their Culture Discrepancy Scores. A discriminant analysis showed that for permanent employees, intent to stay on with the organization could be predicted from their Culture Discrepancy Scores. Correlational analyses indicated that for permanent employees, higher Culture Discrepancy Scores were predictive of: 1) rating the organization as a worse place to work, 2) being less likely to choose to work for the organization again, and 3) rating stress levels as unhealthy. For seasonal employees, higher Culture Discrepancy Scores were predictive of: 1) rating the organization as a worse place to work, 2) taking less pride in working for the organization, 3) rating the organization as less competitive in the industry, and 4) rating stress levels as unhealthy. |
