Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of research on the behaviour of executive management in an international metallurgical organization. The purpose of the research was to establish the level of congruence between that behaviour and the organizational culture of the company from two different points of view: employees and managers. The researchers also tried to establish what type of organizational culture was desirable for each group. The typology developed by Cameron and Quinn has been used. Based on the collected results the authors of the paper try to answer the following research questions: How is the organizational culture in the analyzed company assessed by the managers and by the employees? And: Is there any difference in assessing the managers’ behaviour and competencies by themselves and by their staff? For the purpose of research the following hypothesis was also put forward: The behaviour of the managers in that organization corresponds to the culture of the clan. The analysis carried out by the authors confirmed that hypothesis.
