The reason why organizational culture became so popular is connection between appropriate cultures and efficiency and productivity of organizations. Organization, as a connected and structured set of individuals, is very vividly described by its organizational culture and structure. Analyzed organizations in this paper - through theirs organizational culture and structures - are Faculty of Civil Engineering Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek and Faculty of Civil Engineering Brno. Organizational cultures were analyzed through surveys of the faculty members on the faculty level, on the department level and then among the subcultures in the organization. Surveys were conducted according to the earlier investigation of organizational culture and structure of the Civil Engineering Faculty in Zagreb, so that surveys presented in this paper could be comparable. Results of the surveys comparison were in most aspects very similar but significant difference were noted at general work satisfaction, interpersonal and students-personnel relationships, and implementation of new rules such as dress code both for students and faculty members.
