Item Organizational culture of Philippine College of Ministry(2007-09) Calumnag, Cristobal Carlos.Culture refers to the existing practice or norms in an organization and how people work together interdependently to achieve a common goal along with person, power, role, or task on a daily basis. Studying culture helps in the understanding of the differences of people within the organization. Knowing the prevailing culture of an organization makes it easier for members to adapt themselves to the organization's. Each one then contribute to achieving the goals and in realizing the mission of the organization. It is very important, first of all, to understand that culture is a complex term involving factors like time, space, money, workmanship, values, practices, etc. which determines the "rise and fall" of any organization culture. As a matter of fact, any organization has a culture of its own and can be manifested physically i.e. building and facilities; work performance of the people, feedbacks from larger communities, and many more. Developing a culture in an organization should be generally shared by all parties involved from the top management to down management or vice versa. This study aimed to find out the existing prevailing culture of Philippine College of Ministry by seeking answer to the following questions: 1. What is the prevailing culture of PCM as perceived by the stakeholders along with person, power, task, and role? 2. How do the perceptions of the stakeholders differ with regard to the prevailing culture of the organization in conditions of the fifteen culture determinants? 3. What developmental plan should be considered for the improvement of the organization's culture? The respondents of the study were all the thirty stakeholders at PCM. The study was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2006-2007. The significant findings of the study are as follows: 1. The prevailing culture of PCM according to stakeholders is task culture. 2. The different stakeholders, when grouped according to position, have different perceptions as regards the prevailing culture of PCM. The administrators considered PCM as a role culture organization; the faculty/staff considered it person culture, and the pastors considered it a task culture. 3. The stakeholders have different perceptions as regards the existing culture of the school considering the fifteen areas: organization's first priorities; working behavior; treatment of constituents; influence; practice of decision making; task assignment; organization-employees expectations; organization-managers expectations; peer advice; work motivation; departmental relationships; conflict management; and work environment. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were derived: 1. The prevailing culture of PCM is task culture. 2. The perceptions of the stakeholders as regards the existing culture of PCM show no significant differences along the fifteen areas. As a result of a careful study on the culture of Philippine College of Ministry, the following recommendations were offered: 1. A similar study should be undertaken to include variables like length of years of service to the organizations, socio-economic status, and educational attainment. 2. A concise faculty manual that details the expected behaviors of stakeholders should be made to make it easy for the stakeholders to exhibit the behavior that goes along with the desired culture. 3. Adopt an "outreach program" such as visitation and helping orphanage(s), day care canter(s), hospital(s), etc. 4. Develop an enriched curriculum and participation programs for professional growth of the stakeholders. 5. PCM should adopt the proposed development plan.
