The challenge of improving organizational effectiveness through innovation has played a central role in organizational research and practice for well over a century. The early improvement efforts, firmly rooted in the industrial revolution and best represented by Frederick Taylor’s (1911)“scientific management,” were based on the top down assumption that organizational effectiveness is a function of individual work behaviors being carefully specified, explicitly linked, and tightly controlled by organizational leaders to improve productivity and efficiency. Although subsequent empirical studies and increasingly complex views of work behavior and performance challenged many of these early assumptions, Lisbeth Schorr (1997) noted almost a century later that the underlying philosophy of these mechanistic models was still evident in the managerial approaches taken in many human service organizations:“We are so eager, as a body politic, to eliminate the possibility that public servants will do anything wrong that we make it virtually impossible for them to do anything right”(p. 65).Current empirically based models of organizational innovation and effectiveness transcend the mechanistic models of a century ago and many emphasize that innovation and effectiveness are as much about creating the most appropriate organizational social context as about implementing the latest technology. The idea that an organization’s social context is associated with innovation and effectiveness is accepted by many organizational leaders and two distinct dimensions of social context—organizational culture and climate—are mentioned often as the key factors that determine an organization’s performance in a wide range of areas. Researchers, practitioners and the news media have used the terms to explain organizational performance in, for example, science (eg NASA), religion (eg Catholic Church), information technology (eg Google), athletics (eg NFL), healthcare (eg Veterans Administration), manufacturing (eg GM), media (eg BBC), finance (eg JP Morgan Chase), higher education (eg Penn State), and energy production (eg BP). Although the terms, culture and climate, are widely used to explain organizational performance in these and many other examples, the terms are often used vaguely and even inappropriately by administrators, researchers, and the media. There is confusion regarding the precise meanings of the terms and their explicit effects on what organizations do. These are important issues for those interested in
