Abstract<br />

This research compares the percepti<strong>on</strong>s of the<br />

private sector, high-technology employees to the<br />

percepti<strong>on</strong>s of university faculty members<br />

regarding organizati<strong>on</strong>al culture, social justice <strong>and</strong><br />

collegiality c<strong>on</strong>cepts. The SYMLOG assessment<br />

technique was used to record the percepti<strong>on</strong>s of<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>dents to four different c<strong>on</strong>cepts of<br />

organizati<strong>on</strong>al culture, two different aspects of<br />

social justice <strong>and</strong> two measures of collegiality.<br />

Comparative findings of gender differences across<br />

the eight c<strong>on</strong>cepts raise key organizati<strong>on</strong>al culture,<br />

legal, measurement, governance, <strong>and</strong> social policy<br />

issues for academia <strong>and</strong> high tech organizati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

The development of a c<strong>on</strong>ceptual framework to<br />

guide future research <strong>and</strong> a blueprint to discuss<br />

desired organizati<strong>on</strong>al change are highlighted.<br />

Keywords: collegiality, social justice,<br />

organizati<strong>on</strong>al culture, most effective profile.<br />
