Bezpieczeństwo jako wymiar kultury organizacji a zewnętrzne zróżnicowanie kulturowe: kontekst organizacyjny i społeczny
Safety as the dimension of the culture of an organisation, and external cultural diversity: an organisational and social context

Summary/Abstract: The notion of “culture” is presented and analysed at the supranational, national, and organisational levels. Reference has been made to the concept of “safety culture”. The various dimensions of safety culture have been discussed, and the very notion of safety culture has been scrutinised from a subjective perspective, as well as in the implemented areas of operations, in particular in the energy industry of EU countries. Safety culture has been analysed with reference to safety as a value in its own right. It has been emphasised that the analysis of the social structuring in management may be important in the analysis of organisational aspects. It refers to authority and communication between people who make up the entire social community. The importance of safety culture has been described at various organisational levels, particularly for high-reliability organisations. The meaning of the isomorphic phenomenon has been analysed. The spread of safety culture has been analysed in the context of two pillars of this culture: personal safety (the mental and spiritual pillar), and social safety (the organisational and legal pillar). Within these pillars, emphasis has been placed on the importance of congruence of personal values of employees and organisational values. Attention has been paid to the meaning of social and civic values. Within the cultural context, emphasis has been put on the meaning of the internal and external alignment of an organisation, as in the creation of the safety culture, social and organisational aspects operate together.
