Summary/Abstract: As a part of wide research of reintegration of human resources of economy in transition, a new method of identification and measurement of components of organizational culture was shown in this study. Beside usual organizational parameters, in identification of cultural patterns of organizational behavior included were: a perception of employee roles, the role of a director, the locus of control, and subjects' interests. Such an approach is taking into consideration the fact that different components are not at the same general level and deepth in an organizational culture, and consequently not equally prone to changes. In this research, the sample consisted of 880 employees in six different working organizations from different towns of Yugoslavia. The research was done during 2002. Five special instruments have been developed to meet the outlined conceptualization of the components of organizational culture. Hierarchical factor analysis derived 13 relatively independent components of organizational culture.
