Gregory Jin Ronald Drozdenko Sara Deloughy Western Connecticut State University ABSTRACT This paper presents the findings of analyses of our database of twenty-one organizational value characteristics sampled through surveys from three professional organizations, direct marketing, information technology and finance. Our objective was to determine if there was consistent evidence for the existence of the traditional organic and mechanistic organizational types. We further examined the data from one of the groups (financial professionals) to determine if there was support for the two types of bureaucracy, enabling and coercive, theorized by Adler and Borys (1996). Using factor analysis, we found evidence for the existence of mechanistic and organic organization types across all three professional groups. Within the mechanistic organizations, we found support for the existence of enabling and coercive bureaucracy. We discuss the implications of these findings with regard to specific value characteristics and the possible evolution of organizational types. INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK The conceptual framework for the examination of our database of twenty-one organizational value characteristics collected from three groups of professionals is based primarily on Adler and Borys‘ (1996) Typology of Organizations. Adler and Borys (1996) broke down the two organization types (organic and mechanistic) in terms of two conceptual dimensions, i.e., the type of formalization and the degree of formalization. Adler and Borys‘ (1996) typology of organizations is shown in Figure 1 as a starting framework for our empirical analyses and discussions. Figure 1 indicates the classic organic and mechanistic type of organizations in quadrants 1 and 4 respectively. In addition to these organic and mechanistic types, Adler and Borys‘ diagram introduces two more organizational types, i.e., coercive-organic, which is called ―autocracy‖ in quadrant 2, and enabling-mechanistic, which is called ―enabling bureaucracy‖ in quadrant 3.
