Here, researchers examinecausal laws, observable behaviors, and organizational structures. By contrast, the interpretiveapproach regards organizations as cultures that subjectively create their own realities. Here,researchers assess how personnel interpret their organizations. Under the interpretiveparadigm, three facets of culture furnish a framework for interpreting culture in organizations.The structural facet concerns the ways in which organizations perform their activities; theenvironmental facet concerns the context of people, events, demands, and constraints; and thevalue facet concerns the beliefs, norms, and priorities held by personnel. Administrators andresearchers should analyze culture in their own organizations to reduce conflict and to promotethe sharing of goals.
