Organisational ideology


Organisational ideology consists of the beliefs concerning organisation that make it distinct from other organisations.
In opinion of Henry Mintzberg, organisational ideology develops in three stages. At first, the ideology is created from sense of mission. Later it develops as traditions and stories, sagas are created. Finally, the new members of organisation are affected by the ideology, start to identify with it.
Mintzberg lists several main types of identifying with ideology:
Strong organisational ideology decrease the need for formal bureaucratic control and for technostructure that develops such control. Because of that technostructure tends to resist development and maintenance of organisational ideology.
