Organizational culture in public accounting: size, technology, rank, and functional area

Article Abstract:

Organizational culture embodies the values shared by organizational members and evident in the organization's practices. Such culture in public accounting firms was investigated to test the hypothesis that culture varies from organization to organization due to influence of firm size, firm technology, employee rank and the functional area in which employees work. Data used to test this assumption were obtained from the 338 usable questionnaires returned by public accounting firms located in five US cities. Research results supported the hypothesis.
