Abstract
The purpose of this study was to conduct an organisational culture audit to determine individual
differences of employees within the South African army. A quantitative study was conducted with a
random sample size n=238. The participants completed the biographical questionnaire and the
Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI) which was used to measure organisational culture.
Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to identify the existing culture type in this
organisation and the statistically significant individual differences of the employees regarding
their perception of the organisational culture. The findings of this study are valuable for
organisational development practitioners and managers who are responsible to manage diversity
in their organisation because it enables organisations to understand the culture of their diverse
workforce and to propose relevant measures for improving employee performance using
individual differences. These findings also provide opportunity for future research. This study also
adds knowledge regarding organisational culture diagnosis and the nature of individual
differences, especially within the South African work context.
