Identifying Promising Approaches to U.S. Army Institutional Change: A Review of the Literature on Organizational Culture and Climate

Abstract

This report documents research conducted for a project entitled Identifying Promising Approaches to U.S. Army Institutional Change: A Review of the Literature on Organizational Culture and Climate. The projects purpose was to review the literature on organizational culture and climate to identify promising approaches to help address some of the Armys greatest challenges, including behavioral health treatment stigma, negative workplace behaviors, and the growing participation of women in combat-forward roles. This report distills the results of the literature review, identifying key drivers of cultural change. It also describes how a group of subject-matter experts analyzed the results of that review by identifying the most important drivers of cultural change for the Army. Its findings should interest researchers and policy makers in the Army, the military as a whole, and other organizations in general as they must adapt in response to ongoing social changes. In particular, study findings will help guide policy decisions about institutionalizing organizational change in Army culture to cope with the aforementioned issues.
