Resonating with a Morality Framework: A New Direction for Training Equal Opportunity Advisors

Abstract

The mission of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) is transitioning from one of response and deterrence to one of prevention. A component of this effort is a shift from a focus on organizational climate to a focus on organizational culture. The aim of this report is to provide information that informs consideration of next steps in developing assessment tools for on-site commanders and for developing related training programs. This paper offers a conceptual distinction between organizational climate and organizational culture, discusses two values-based approaches for developing the tools (one approach involves assessing the organizations unique set of values, and the other involves assessing values that are common across societies), provides a list of currently available organizational culture surveys, and provides climate-related items that might be useful to augment the cultural assessments.
