The Quinn organizational culture questionnaire along with several interviews with managers verified the bureaucratic culture in four organizations.

To investigate the reliability of the questionnaire the Cronbach’s alpha value has been measured and the validity has been confirmed by the field. Moreover, according to Goleman’s emotional intelligence model the five factors have been measured in the selected organizations. Also the knowledge management‘s Model presented by Nonaka and Takeuchi has been used by considering four presented elements.
