Opis (eng)

Abstract: Organizational culture plays a pivotal role in post-acquisition integrations, particularly within complex industrial systems such as the pharmaceutical industry, where misalignment of values and procedures can compromise overall performance. The aim of this study was to identify the discrepancy between the perceived and desired organizational culture in a pharmaceutical company that underwent a process of acquisition and integration, as well as to examine the impact of these differences on employee motivation. The research was conducted using a case study approach, combining a quantitative survey based on Harrison’s typology with qualitative interviews and observational techniques. The sample included 224 respondents from various organizational units. The findings reveal a dominant orientation toward task culture, alongside the presence of bureaucratic and power-oriented cultural elements, while employees clearly express a preference for more flexible and team-based structures. These discrepancies point to the importance of cultural transformation in improving motivation and organizational efficiency. It is concluded that aligning the actual and desired culture constitutes a critical strategic challenge for management during post-integration phases.
