大学服务社会最显著的表现就是成为社会发展的创新动力,为实现该目标,大学组织作为一个社会组织,其自身的文化创新更为关键.本文借助企业创新文化中的创新商数研究,结合爱尔兰高等教育部门的大规模调研结果,梳理分析爱尔兰地区大学组织文化与创新之间的关系.与传统大学相比,应用技术学院组织文化创新性较低,STEM教职人员对大学文化中的创新程度认可度更低.研究结果对我国各类大学组织文化研究具有一定的借鉴意义.%This paper investigates the perception amongst insiders of the degree of innovativeness of organizational culture in Ireland's higher education institutions. While the role of higher education institutions has expanded to include being a driver of innovation, we suggest that any such body is perhaps best suited to achieve this if it itself is innovative. We review the literature on corporate innovation, discuss a recent metric of innovativeness in culture and present the results of a large-scale survey on said culture within the higher education sector in Ireland. There is a divide between the university and institutes of technology sector, with organizational culture in universities being perceived to be much more innovative than that in institutes, despite these latter being designed to be closer to industry. We also find that STEM faculty members see culture as less innovative than others. These findings raise questions around the implicit and explicit thrusts of Irish higher education policy.
