Abstract
This work is part of the inter university research project titled “Study of the Organizational Culture; Situation in the Classroom and University Development in Higher Education Institutions of Ecuador”. In this specific case, we determine the current and desired cultural typology in the University of the Armed Forces ESPE. The cultural gap is identified, and the cultural characteristics are analyzed according with the methodology of values in competition by Cameron and Quinn. For the effect, the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument OCAI test is applied in a random manner and given to 450 members of the institution that correspond to 131 professors, 185 students and 134 public servers. The study is complemented with the application of interviews and focal groups. The results divulge that the current dominant culture is hierarchical; meanwhile the desired organizational culture is a clan type. There is evidence that the institution is very controlled and structured, the leadership is considered as an example of guidance and training, the management style offers security and protection of its members, the rules and formal policies provoke unity.
