Two groups of managers in widely different companies
and countries were administered the Human
Synergistics Life Styles Inventory, LSI 1, LSI 2
and Organizational Culture Inventory, OCI (actual),
as part of change intitiatives. A focal group of 106
respondents from 911 participants formed the main
sample, 39 variables were derived. The data were
analysed by Pearson s Product Moment Correlation,
Principal Components Analysis and Multiple Linear
Regression Analysis using SPSS. Results identified
intriguing relationships among self-awareness,
corporate culture, and consensual change. Specific
measures of self-awareness in contrast to global
measures are predictive of consensual change,
suggesting that this concept does not exist as a
trait. Generalized benefits attributed to self-
awareness are challenged.The research suggests that
person organization fit offers greater potential for
consensual change than does concern with corporate
culture type. Relationships support theoretical
behaviour models; including Self-regulation of
Behavior Theory, Social Cognitive Theory and the
integrative social-psychological model of self-
assessment.
