ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE AND CULTURE IN POLISH ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

This article explains organizational climate and organizational culture and presents a brief history of research. The role of national culture in understanding organizational culture and climate is explained through a specific focus on the system of Polish administration. The paper presents both theoretical literature and empirical research in the field of Polish organizational culture and climate with due respect to dysfunctions. Recommendations are made for additional thinking and research. The purpose of the study is to discover the perception of the organizational climate in the Polish system of administration from the opinions of civil servants and address this perception with the scientific literature that reveals how the Polish administration institutions possess an organizational climate and culture flawed by anti-efficiency and pathological phenomena. The results of the research indicate that despite the disconnect between the more negative image of organizational climate presented in the literature and the opinions expressed by the surveyed civil servants, large improvements are necessary to make the climate more efficient according to the latest Western standards.
