The Effects of Industry Characteristics on Organizational Culture

Öz

This study aims to provide a hypothetical explanation of whether industry characteristics have a significant effect on organizational culture. It is attempted to present a model about how certain characteristics contribute to the formulation of cultures. This aims to hypothesize which industrial determinants can be developed from several identified industries and how these determinants can contribute to the organizational cultural dimensions. While doing this, the hypothesized relations will be further developed in order to be able to answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ there are relations and mediation analyses will be conducted for this. This can suggest practical insight for which industries have organizational members with specific cultural dimensions and the reasons of these effects via the mediating factors.
