The article focuses on the fundamental stage of formation of organisational culture – i.e. diagnostics. The current culture and preferred organisational culture of public administration institution has been empirically diagnosed using internationally recognised OCAI methodology based on the Competing Values Framework and developed by American scientists Cameron and Quinn.

In case of formation of a new organisational culture in the institution under research, easier process of organisational culture formation and more advanced organisational culture would be expected. As a result, it should enable the organisation to become more modern and being able to adapt to changes of the environment.
