Essays on Organizational Culture - Two Approaches to Achieving a Valid Interpretation of Cultural Dimensions and to Identifying the Effects of Organizational Culture on Error Reporting

This dissertation consists of four essays which approach the topic of organizational culture from substantially and methodically different directions. The first (methodological) part presents two ways of a graphical representation of three-dimensional point clouds. The second part addresses the questions whether an adequate organizational culture can motivate employees to report errors. Two laboratory experiments test the effects of cultural and other variables on the willingness to report errors.
