520			_aNew public management theory proposes that public sector organisations should be managed more like private sector organisations. It is therefore expected that public sector managers will have preferences for an organisational culture that will reflect the culture of private sector organisations, with an external rather than internal orientation. The current research investigated the idea that managers' perceptions of ideal organisational culture would be different to the bureaucratic model of culture (internally oriented), which has traditionally been associated with public sector organisations. Responses to competing values culture inventory were received from 925 public sector employees. Results indicated that the bureaucratic model is still pervasive; however managers prefer a culture that is more external, and less control focussed, as expected. Lower employees expressed a desire for a culture that emphasised human relations values. - Reproduced.
