- W49069448 abstract "The aim of this research was to shed light on the multiple social realities within anorganisation and provide perspectives on how individuals made sense of the socialworld, which enabled them to participate in these social realities. As Smircich(1983) explained, culture is something that an organisation is, rather than has. Assuch, the literature considered ways of assisting individuals to survive and thrivewithin complex social realities and the personal costs associated with participating inthem. The literature was used to demonstrate how my view changed fromunderstanding organisations as beings to considering them as subjective cultures.I based this research on an interpretative phenomenology. My views wereinfluenced by my desire to explore and interpret the experiences of individuals, whowere the organisation’s directors. Ethnography enabled me to take into account theknowledge shown in everyday social interactions in the workplace. Multipleperspectives and influences, which shaped this social world, were illuminated bybringing to the surface individual experiences and perceptions. These wereachieved by gathering responses to a questionnaire; transcripts of interviews withthe eleven directors; four pilot interviews with employees, who were not directors;pre and post interview sheets; and my reflective diary. The diary provided atransparent account of the research process and included an acknowledgment ofany potential bias.This research relied heavily on the views expressed by the eleven directors in theirinterviews and my own views. Consequently, I wrote this thesis in the first personwhenever possible. I chose a theatrical method, aligned to the work of Goffman(1959), to present this research; using acts and scenes to represent the main formaland informal cultural clues, which emerged. I presented Burke’s dramatism model(1945, 1969) of human behaviour as a means of understanding the cultural clues,which were revealed.The findings contribute to an understanding of organisational life and are relevant forthose, who want to understand the dynamics of human groups, which, ultimately,may lead to improving our lives in this world. By acknowledging the existence of thecultural scenario and by revealing the characteristics of those, who blunder andthose, who exploit, this research demonstrates that individuals have to beencouraged to see the cognitive and visible aspects of the culture, which existwithin the structures and processes, the roles and the knowledge andcommunication, which exist within organisations.We can comprehend this world from many viewpoints if we only take the time tolook." @default.
