Excerpt from Culture in Organizations: A Case Study and Analysis

The anthropological approach to organization change thus begins with an analysis of the structures and sanctions that encourage and discourage certain kinds of behavior. If bureaucratic behavior is rewarded at 2, then it is bureaucratic behavior that Z is likely to get in response. If it is decided that bureaucratic behavior is unwanted, then the reward system at Z can be altered. This is not easy to do, but it is much less threatening than singling out bureaucrats and trying to change their personalities. Culture (structure) is simply easier to change than personality.
