The functional perspective of organizational culture is derived from the sociological perspective that views all organizations as systems within larger societal systems. Culture is viewed as learned behavior that serves as the glue that holds the organization together and provides organizational identity, stability, and effectiveness. Culture can be uncovered by examining how an organization expresses itself through its rituals and normative behavior and by exploring the underlying values and assumptions within the organization. Although there have been an increasing number of diverse organizational culture studies in higher education, few have dealt with the administrative subcultures. This study examines the organizational culture of two administrative subcultures, the academic affairs division and student affairs division, on three different types of campuses. Both qualitative and quantitative inquiry methods were used to answer the research questions. The Organizational Cultural Assessment Questionnaire, which measured five cultural elements, and semi-structured interviews were used to identify the culture within each division, compare the similarities and differences of two divisions on each campus, and compare the three student affairs cultures and the three academic affairs cultures from an occupational perspective. The conclusions of the study included the following: (a) student affairs administrators generally rated their cultural elements higher than did academic affairs administrators; (b) there were a high number of cultural similarities among the three student affairs divisions; (c) there were few cultural similarities among all the three academic affairs divisions; (d) academic department chairs did not view themselves as part of the academic administrative culture; (e) the primary customer for student affairs divisions was students, whereas the primary customers for academic affairs divisions were the faculty and academic programs; and (f) the qualitative and quantitative inquiry methods complemented each other and allowed for comparison of the two administrative subcultures.
