Recent literature shows that the quantitative assessment of organizational culture has been dominated by studies adopting the Competing Values Model(CVM). The 4 cultural types depicted by the CVM can be used to represent the culture of an organization and serve as a basis upon which one organization can be differentiated from others. Various researches have validated that the CVM provides not only a representation of organizational culture but also a common metric for multi-level, trans-organizational, and cross-cultural analyses. Focused on assessing the psychometric soundness, this research tests the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument(OCAI) developed by Cameron and Quinn. Using a sample drawn from 25 organizations of the Korean Central Government, the psychometric soundness assessment of the OCAI produces strong support for a structure of organizational cultural values consistent with the CVM.
