Chapter 7: Summary, conclusion and recommendations
7.4. Suggestions for further study
This study is conducted to understand the perceptions of faculty members towards the role of OC in their research performance. The study results indicated that although faculty members could not remark one form of culture they use as a point of departure for their research activities, they believe that the overall OC (of the university) and its constituent parts have pivotal roles in their research practices. However, as this study is purely qualitative, it is difficult to determine the causal relationship between OC and the research performance of faculty members. Thus, the application of qualitative or mixed-method analysis would help to show the connections between different variables. Most importantly, the study employed OC models that are often used to describe an organisation’s overall culture and nature. Therefore, further empirical and theoretical studies are needed to concretely conceptualise such OC models (e.g., Schein’s three levels of culture) to scrutinise the impact of OC on research practices and other functions of universities (as organisations).
