. In reviewing the Dimensions of Organizational Culture Profile in the Organizational Behavior textbook by Talya Bauer and Berrin Erdogan the best fit for the U.S. Army would be a stable culture.
A stable culture is defined therein as “Stable Cultures are predictable, rule oriented, and bureaucratic. These organizations aim to coordinate and align individual effort for greatest levels of efficiency. When the environment is stable and certain, these cultures may help the organization be effective by providing stable and constant levels of output.” (Erdogan).
This is fitting as the Army is a bureaucratic organization and that we attempt to reach the highest level of efficiency in everything that we do.
Our hiring process is one of the most selective I have ever seen. We can only take physically fit men and women that fall within certain age categories, filter out those with unacceptable law violations, do not allow those without a high school level education entrance and will not accept anyone with a history of drug use.
Having been a recruiter for the Army I know that according to the accession rules only approximately 1% of our population is 100% fit for duty without any waivers.
