| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the organizational culture (OC) profiles of two Portuguese biomedical research institutes, IGC and iMM, during their ongoing merger. Despite budget increases in 2023, and excellent track-records, both institutes faced challenges from unstable national investment, resulting in reductions in research groups and staff. Using the Competing Values Framework (CVF) and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), we analyse their OCs, staff preferences, and satisfaction with HR practices. Both institutes prefer an Adhocratic culture and express general dissatisfaction with job security, communication, and work-life balance, underscoring the need for cultural alignment to facilitate integration. Suggestions for action are provided. | pt_PT |
