What aspect does the Organizational Cultural Assessment Model NOT include?

The Organizational Cultural Assessment Model primarily focuses on the various types of organizational cultures that exist within a workplace. These cultures are categorized into four key types: clan culture, adhocracy culture, market culture, and hierarchy culture. Each of these cultures represents different values, assumptions, and behaviors that contribute to the overall environment of the organization.

Financial success, however, does not fall under the assessment of organizational culture directly. The model is concerned with understanding and assessing how cultural attributes affect an organization’s dynamics, engagement, and operational effectiveness rather than its financial metrics or performance indicators. Therefore, while financial success may be an outcome of a strong organizational culture, it is not a cultural type or characteristic that the assessment model explicitly includes in its framework.

This focus on culture rather than financial outcomes is crucial because it allows organizations to understand their internal dynamics and make shifts that can ultimately lead to improved performance, but the financial aspect itself is not part of the cultural assessment.
