Instructions for completing the Organizational Culture
Assessment Instrument (OCAI)
The purpose of the OCAI is to assess six key dimensions of organizational culture. In completing the instrument, you will be providing a picture of how your organization operates and the values that characterize it. No right or wrong answers exist for these questions just as there is not right or wrong culture. Every organization will most likely produce a different set of responses. Therefore, be as accurate as you can in responding to the questions so that your resulting cultural diagnosis will be as precise as possible.
You are asked to rate your organization in the questions. To determine which organization to rate, you will want to consider the organization that is managed by your boss, the strategic business unit to which you belong, or the organizational unit in which you are a member that has clearly identifiable boundaries. Because the instrument is most helpful for determining ways to change the culture, you’ll want to focus on the cultural unit that is the target for change. Therefore, as you answer the questions, keep in mind the organization that can be affected by the change strategy you develop.
The OCAI consists of six questions. Each question has four alternatives. Divide 100 points among these four alternatives depending on the extent to which each alternative is similar to your own organization. Give a higher number of points to the alternative that is most similar to your organization. For example, in question one, if you think alternative A is very similar to your organization, alternative B and C are somewhat similar, and alternative D is hardly similar at all, you might give 55 points to A, 20 points to B and C, and five points to D. Just be sure your total equals 100 points for each question.
Note, that the first pass through the six questions is labeled “Now”. This refers to the culture, as it exists today. After you complete the “Now”, you will find the questions repeated under a heading of “Preferred”. Your answers to these questions should be based on how you would like the organization to look five years from now.

Scoring:
Scoring the OCAI is very easy. It requires simple arithmetic calculations. The first step is to add together all A responses in the Now column and divide by six. That is, compute
an average score for the A alternatives in the Now column. You may use the worksheet on the next page to arrive at these averages. Do this for all of the questions, A, B, C, and D. Once you have done this, transfer your answers to this page in the boxes provided below. Fill in your answers here from the previous page

组织文化量表(OCAI)的填写指导书
组织文化量表的目的是评估企业文化的六个主要方面对企业产生的影响。
通过对您所填写的量表进行整体分析，测出企业运作情况，以及它的价值特点。
这些选项没有正确或错误之分，因为企业文化本身就是丰富多彩的，不同的选项只是代表不同的企业文化类型。
因此，在填写问卷时，要尽可能准确，只有这样，我们总结出来的企业文化才真实有效。
您需要做的是根据问卷上的问题，对企业进行评估。
您要考虑到，管理企业的是公司的老板，员工只是其中某一个部分，也就是说，您应该清楚，您自己在企业中属于哪个部门，这个部门有什么职责。
这个指导书是用来确定哪些因素影响了企业文化，所以希望您把重点放在改变企业文化的那些因素上。
因此，当您填写这份问卷时，应当记住企业文化也许会受到员工自身观念的影响。
该表包括6个问题。
每个问题有四个选项。
每一个选项都要打分，如果选项比较符合您的公司，那么就打一个比较高的分数。
注意，四个选项都要打分，而且分数相加为100分。
例如，在问题一，如果您认为选项A与您的企业非常相似，B和C项跟您的企业有点相似，D项跟您的企业不相似。
您就给A项打50分，B和C少打一些分，比如B项20分，C项20分，D项再少打一些分数10分。
注意：A、B、C、D相加总分必须为100分，而且四个选项的分数尽量要有差别（避免四个分数差不多的情况）。
注意，前六个问题是描述现在的情况。
后面几个问题是您希望企业在今后5年发展成为什么样的情况。
