The study aimed to identify the variances among the
variables concerning organizational culture in both civil and defense training
organizations; and to examine the relationship between the core cultural
elements and their influences on organizational development using quantitative
research approach, where a survey questionnaire instrument was administered in
five civil training organizations and five defense training organizations. A
random sample tool was used for data collection, and questionnaire was measured
with a five-point Likert scale. For study objectives, the Mann-Whitney U test
is performed to identify the differences in core values and practices among the
organizations. Pearson correlation matrix table is placed with all variables
and significant values are shown. Regression analysis with ANOVA results is
captured from SPSS output and placed to identify the differences and influences
on the dependent variable. Regression model summary explained with R-value
(.646), where R-square value is (.417, 41.7%) and Adjusted R-square is 39.2%
with Sig. (.000). Mann-Whitney U Test result shows Z-value is -5.44, p=.000,
Thus, there is a significant difference between the organizational culture
among civil and defense training institutes. The coefficient results confirmed
that only the ‘integrity’ and ‘professionalism’ variables positively influenced
organizational development. The study results confirmed that defense training
organization culture is strengthened than civil training organizations.
Therefore, civil training organizations may give more attention to core values
in future. Besides, in the future, a qualitative approach may be adopted in
this type of research for more reliable output regarding organizational core
values for organizational development.
