4 THESIS  Political Culture can predict political behavior  Culture limits the action of citizens and administrators, channels demands and excludes certain possible policy options  Changing the Organizational Culture Reforms the Organization

5 The Concept of Political Culture a. People are tied to a unique web of historical experiences b. Assumption: From the general culture one can extract out the salient aspects of that culture that relate to political behavior and organizational and administrative traditions

6 Danish Political Culture: Re. Housing Sub-Cultures Groups 1, 2 and 4 constitute the traditional political culture, also found in the labour movement, Groups 3 and 6 constitute a user-oriented political culture based on functional participation in single issues; whereas group 7 contains the very active political elite.

7 The Concept Continued c. Organizational Culture is a sub- set of broader cultural assumptions d. In looking for evidence of a political or an administrative culture we are looking for a set of representative values for the people of that society

8 Organizational Culture: The Ideal Type

9 Values and Motivation: Redeux 1. Theory X vs. Theory Y= Theory Z 2. Maslov’s Hierarchy: Basic needs, social needs and ego needs 3.

The Importance of a Motivation Theory in a Country Such as Guinea

10 The Hierarchy of Needs Redux

14 Components of Culture

15 The Cognitive Dimension- What people know. a. The set of historical and cultural information to which any native of the society is automatically tuned in b. All societies have their peculiarities which are part of their political culture

16 The Evaluative Dimension- Not the is but the what ought to be a. What is good and bad b. U.S.- Military service good, welfare cheaters bad

17 Evaluation

19 The Emotive Dimension- The emotional attachment that people have to their political system a. Symbolism and myth, anthems and flags b. Provides the strength of values c. Nationalism- “My country right or wrong”

20 Socialization 1. Process by which political attitudes are formed and maintained 2. Acquisition of values, beliefs, and knowledge about the political system on both the individual and community level 3. Cultural transmission across generations- the introduction of new generations to the beliefs and values of the old

21 Socialization

22 The Way Things Are Learned  May be cognitive, evaluative or emotional  Vague Patriotic image- eg. U.S. paternal- President as "super-friend" and father image (shattered by Watergate and post- Watergate- See Bob Woodward’s Books About Bush (and Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin)  Societal and community definitions  Personal identification with government
