Handy Organizational Culture Typology Test

arrangeorganizational culture

This self-report measure is designed to characterize perceived organizational culture patterns using the Handy Organizational Culture Typology. It asks respondents to rate both current and preferred features of their workplace environment.

The instrument contains 86 items and typically requires about 16 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support discussion of dominant cultural emphases (e.g., power, role, task, or person orientations) and areas of alignment or discrepancy between how the organization is experienced and how it is desired.

The Handy Organizational Culture Typology may be used in organizational assessment, change management, and team consultation to inform hypotheses about leadership practices, role expectations, and coordination processes. Authorship is attributed to Edgar H. Schein.
