The Organizational Culture Inventory: Culture Clusters
Robert A. Cooke, PhD, defines culture as the behaviors that members believe are required to fit in and meet expectations within their organization. The Organizational Culture Inventory measures twelve behavioral of norms that are grouped into three general types of cultures:
•Constructive Cultures, in which members are encouraged to interact with people and approach tasks in ways that help them meet their higher-order satisfaction needs.

•Passive/Defensive Cultures, in which members believe they must interact with people in ways that will not threaten their own security.

•Aggressive/Defensive Cultures, in which members are expected to approach tasks in forceful ways to protect their status and security.
