Abstract [en]

Organizational culture is connected to people's capacity to organize themselves internally and adapt to the outside environment. Contracting companies were asked to complete a questionnaire based on organizational culture characteristics. This study intends to make a substantial theoretical contribution by demonstrating a broader perspective on exposing the essential cultural features using a quantitative approach with the fewest possible questions. Exploratory factor analysis and Principal Component Analysis were used to identify the most critical variables and extract a more manageable number of components from multiple related variables. Twenty-eight variables were reduced to thirteen to eliminate statistical cross-loading. Furthermore, the organizational culture was simplified from eight to three dimensions. Thirteen factors were created based on cultural habits in the construction sector, with three inclusive dimensions: multiple motivational, one–bipolar, and many bipolar. This study provides a more succinct survey that quantifies cultural habits and their influence on sectoral performance.
