Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to develop an organizational culture (OC) framework for construction organizations. Individual working behaviors have been identified as artifacts of organizational culture that have been suggested by literature. In this regard, a four-trait OC framework comprising four groups of artifacts; (1) people-oriented culture, (2) conservative culture, (3) innovative culture and (4) task-oriented culture, is developed with inputs from the industry experts. Contractor firms that identified as the key organizations affecting work efficiency and productivity of a construction project were chosen to be the research targets in this study. Pilot study with experienced construction professionals was conducted to enhance the authenticity of the framework. Having a validated OC framework for construction industry, it helps to understand how normative values and beliefs of an organization are manifested.
