Young’s Model of Organizational Culture

Abstract

An Organization's Culture has an impact on employee behavior and performance. Although existing models describe various dimensions of organizational culture, they often need to capture new country-specific organizational elements. Dimensions of organizational culture are dynamic and evolve over time. A new conceptual framework called "Young's Model of Organizational Culture" (2023) has been developed for organizations operating in Trinidad and Tobago to meet their needs. This model comprises nine distinct dimensions supported by relevant theoretical foundations, including Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Health Safety Environment (HSE), Strategic Plan, Operational Plan, Best Available Technology (BAT), Quality Control, Risk Control Job Analysis, and Employee Benefits. This model has been tested in three specific service sectors of: ICT, Tertiary Education, and Public Utilities.
