Diverse influences on national higher education (HE) systems result in variability in organisational cultures in academic workplaces. We implemented the competing values model of organisational culture to explore the departmental cultures at Czech public universities and the workplace perceptions of academics from different cultures. The participants (n = 2,229) completed an electronic questionnaire including the Organizational Climate Measure (OCM) as an indicator of departmental culture. The OCM dimensions were processed by k-means cluster analysis, with four emerging clusters in the competing values dimensions of internal–external orientation and low–high control. The clusters included self-actualisation (internal/external, low control), collegial (internal/low control), performance, (external/high control), and fraternity (internal/high control). We argue that the resulting clusters draw from different models of HE governance that historically shaped Czech HE, including state-controlled, market and academic self-governance. Work environment variables related to academic leadership were most significant in distinguishing between the clusters, especially along the control dimension.

公立大学的竞争价值观：学术部门的组织文化和工作需求-资源

对国家高等教育 (HE) 系统的不同影响导致学术工作场所的组织文化存在差异。我们实施了组织文化的竞争价值观模型，以探索捷克公立大学的部门文化以及来自不同文化的学者在工作场所的看法。参与者（n = 2,229) 完成了一份电子问卷，其中包括作为部门文化指标的组织气候测量 (OCM)。OCM维度通过k-means聚类分析处理，在内部-外部方向和低-高控制的竞争值维度中有四个新兴集群。集群包括自我实现（内部/外部，低控制），大学（内部/低控制），绩效，（外部/高控制）和博爱（内部/高控制）。我们认为，由此产生的集群来自不同的高等教育治理模式，这些模式在历史上塑造了捷克高等教育，包括国家控制、市场和学术自治。与学术领导相关的工作环境变量在区分集群方面最为重要，尤其是在控制维度上。
