One of the major concerns of today’s management is the harmonization of employeemanagement relationships. It is a known fact that one of the main sources of conflict at the organizational level is the discrepancy between the employees' expectations and those of the managerial staff. Thus, managers are increasingly involved in the relationship with the staff, wanting to identify possible inconsistencies, in order to prevent conflicts. As a consequence, the present paper aims at providing managers with an organizational analysis model in order to identify possible discrepancies between higher and lower hierarchical levels, in terms of organizational culture. In order to come up with the diagnosis in what the organization is concerned, we have used in our research a tool for assessing the organizational culture, which records the choices that the members of the organization have made. The end of the paper provides with an assessment of these data, giving solutions to improve or even suppress these discrepancies.
