The successful achievement of these objectives may therefore be hampered by what we now identify as disintegrating factors. The significance
of the word disintegration is important within the context of forging
together an organization from disparate forces, from a multicultural
workforce and in a situation of downsizing the organization, where integration is so important to its ultimate success. Disintegration is intended
as the converse of integration. Bennett2 (1998) identified the following
historical influences, which still pertain to the present and which suggest a
problem of not being attuned to the wider South African society.
Secrecy (Figure 1). Secrecy and a lack of open communication: This
may provide a power lever of knowledge (e.g., Kakabadse, Ludlow, &
Vinnicombe, 1987) and may exclude access to knowledge to parts of the
organization or to individuals who, in turn, may tend to demand access to
it. Bennetts (1998) arguments suggest consequential detrimental power
struggles.
Bureaucracy (Figure 1). A burgeoning administrative staff is largely
a corollary of secrecy that necessitates the growth of bureaucracy, and
excessive centralization of control and authority. This produces allencompassing rules that are initially produced to control the organization
but eventually ensure a self-sustaining bureaucracy. Bennett (1998) argued that this has led to the growth of SANDF staffs and Civil Service
since 1994. Excessive rules and regulations lead to frustration and an
overly large bureaucracy resulting in slow or even nonexistent decision
making.
Autocracy (Figure 1). The previous levels of unquestioning deference
to authority has persisted in the day-to-day functioning of the new
SANDF, although a more open attitude toward involvement in political
debate has been occurring through consultative conferences.

Because we still use the Defence Act of 1959, the old rules and regulations
and military discipline code, the illusion of transformation without change
is aggravated. It is difficult for white former SADF members to accept that
they are also new SANDF members. (p. 20)
178
To investigate the nature of management and change, and the influences of integrating and disintegrating processes, within the SANDF, an
empirical study was designed. This was initially based on a questionnaire
that the first author had developed with an international research team and
used, in collaboration, in a number of studies in transitional and emerging
countries (T. Jackson et al., in press-a; T. Jackson et al., in press-b).
The first part of the questionnaire is based predominantly on prior
cross-cultural studies of organizational factors and includes items on
strategy; structure; decision making; control; character in terms of ethics,
success, and change; internal policies; climate; external policies; management expertise; and people orientation (Hofstede, 1994; Laurent, 1989;
Reynolds, 1986; Vertinsky, Tse, Wehrung, & Lee, 1990). Managers are
asked to respond to items based on their organization currently, the way it
is changing, and how they would like it to change.
The second part of the questionnaire comprises a subsection of 10
items that draw on motivation theory and are informed by cross-cultural
studies that have investigated commonalities and differences in management motivation (Alpander & Carter, 1991; England, 1986; Hui, 1990).
The items measure the need for economic and psychological security,
control, self-enhancement, autonomy, independence, belonging, personal
self-worth, and personal development.
The next subsection focuses on the direction of management commitment (commitment toward: self, the group, the organization, people,
results, objectives regardless of methods, ethical principles, work, and relatives). The items draw on aspects of collectivism and individualism
(Hofstede, 1980; Wagner, 1995) as well as aspects of humanism and
instrumentalism (T. Jackson, 1999). The next subsection looks at principles by which managers operate and make decisions (locus of control,
deontological and teleological decision making, trust or mistrust of
human nature, and status or achievement orientations). These items focus
more specifically on cultural factors drawing widely on the literature and
accessing information on perceptions of human nature (Kluckholn &
Strodtbeck, 1961) and mirroring McGregors (1960) concept of theory X
and theory Y (see also Evans, Hau, & Sculli, 1989), locus of control
(Trompenaars, 1993; following Rotter, 1966), utilitarianism and
179
Descriptive statistics for the resulting sample of 815 officers and WOs
are given in Table 2. The demographic characteristics of the samples are
representative of the officer and WO population within the SANDF. In
comparison with the total population this shows an overrepresentation of
White Afrikaans speaking members and an underrepresentation of members of Asian decent. Women are shown as a percentage of each cultural
group, indicating a larger representation among the Afrikaans group, and
lower representation among colored and Black African groups. Again this
is in line with the representation of women in the total population (only

19.5% women of all ranks serve in the total combined force). With a total
of only of 14 Asian respondents, it is difficult to infer a representative percentage from the higher proportion of women in this group, and as a result
this group is not taken into account for further analysis (although this is a
fair representation of Asians in the total officer population). The English
speaking White group is generally older than the other groups and occupies more of the higher ranks of Colonel/Captain (SA Navy) to Brigadier
General/Rear Admiral. Members of the Colored group are younger and
less educationally qualified with lower representation at the highest ranks.
There is also a noticeably higher representation of the White and Colored
groups at the WO level, and higher representation of the African groups at
junior officer ranks. As more of these latter groups are drawn from the previous nonstatutory and TBVC forces, this may reflect possibly easier promotion for Black African members to officer level from outside the former SADF (and may support Masondos [1998] assumption of a
perception that such members are being promoted above former SADF
members). This may be particularly apparent with former MK/APLA
members from the Nguni language group, which includes the isiZulu,
isiXhosa, siSwati, and isiNdebele languages (Wilson & Thompson, 1969)
where 67.2% were previously nonstatutory force members, and 58.2%
occupy junior officer levels.
RESULTS
Initial analysis of questionnaire data was through exploratory factor
analysis of items in the organization (current organization) and management (managers generally in the organization) parts of the questionnaire,
which correlated significantly with other items after inspection of the correlation matrix. Two very distinct scales were derived for each of organizational characteristics and management characteristics. Thematically
these were labeled people-oriented organization (14 items, Cronbachs
alpha = .930) and autocratic organization (6 items, alpha = .743), open
management (12 items, alpha = .916) and power management (5
items, alpha = .659). As these scales were robust across the cultural
groups and across the different respondents positions (e.g., current, ideal,
future organization), they are used in this article as the main basis of
analysis. We therefore first discuss the content of these four scales and
then provide a profile of the organization and management within the
SANDF from the perspective of the different groups.

Respondents across the six broad cultural groups (the Asian group
being excluded) are in agreement about the current degree to which the
SANDF is people oriented (Table 3). This is rated overall at the midpoint
of the scale, and all groups indicate an ideal of a higher level of people orientation. Differences exist in the extent to which they see the organization
moving toward this ideal. The two White groups (Afrikaans and English
speaking) are significantly less optimistic than the Coloured and Sotho
groups (with the South Sothos being even more optimistic than the North
Sothos). This difference in optimism is also reflected generally in average
scores for the subscales. Perceptions of the current situation vary in some
of the subscales such that the Nguni group sees less of a diversity management focus than the English and Sotho groups. The fact that the Afrikaans
and English groups are also less optimistic about future clarity of objectives and success of the organization than many of the other groups may
also reflect lower levels of integration of White groups who were also former members of the old SADFan indication that these groups may be
reverting back to previous familiar identities and norms as suggested
above.
The controlling organization is not seen as a negative aspect as all
groups show higher ideal scores than current scores, although no change
is seen for the future (Table 3). Again, average scores for the current organization are at the midway point on the scale (standard deviations indicate
a wide range of scores around the mean and therefore do not reflect a central response set, Table 3). However, one feature of the scores for the ideal
controlling organization is that the English speaking group wants this less
than the Coloured, Sotho, and Other African groups, and the Afrikaans
and English groups see this less in the future than do the Coloured and
Sotho groups (with the South Sotho members wishing for more control
than the North Sotho). Looking more closely, through the ControlOrientation subscale, the English group wants this ideally less that the
Coloured, Sotho, and Other African group, and the Nguni group wants
this less than the Coloured group (with again differences between South
and North Sotho). However, it should be borne in mind that all groups
indicate a higher score for ideal than current, and therefore we can conclude that this aspect is seen generally in a positive rather than a negative
light. The scores for the Controlled Risk subscale represent more withingroup variation than between-group variation (with Xhosa participants
seeing currently more controlled risk than Zulus within the Nguni group).
Ideally, the Afrikaans and English groups indicate a lower preference for
190
this than the Other African group (and the Xhosas wishing for this more
than the Zulus).
All groups concur that more open management is needed ideally for
the future of the organization (Table 4), however there is some variation
between groups on the perception of how open management currently is.
The Sotho group sees this in a more positive light than the English and
Afrikaans groups, and this is also reflected in the scores for the subscales.
The Sotho group perceives more positively open communication, working together, loyalty to organization, management competency, and
achievement orientation of current management in the SANDF than the
two White groups. What we have labeled ubuntu (working together) is
seen more the ideal by the Sotho group than the Afrikaans group. The Coloured and Nguni groups, as well as the Sotho group, see working together
as more current in the organization than the Afrikaans and English groups.
All groups concur on the level of power management currently in the
organization but differ on the ideal such that the English and Afrikaans
groups indicate that less would be preferable for the future of the organization (Table 4). This is also reflected in the Status Management subscale.
The Coloured group sees current management as more instrumental than
the Afrikaans and English groups, however this appears to be seen as a
positive aspect by the Coloured group who ideally would like to see more
of this orientation. The Nguni group also sees more instrumentalism as
preferable for future management.
DISCUSSION
Generally, this analysis indicates a reasonable level of concurrence of
perceptions among the different cultural groups within our sample. By
itself, this seems to confirm that the integration process is succeeding.
This has been particularly the case for views of the current situation in
terms of our main scales of People-Oriented Organization, Controlling
Organization, and Power Management. The only fly in the ointment
appears to be the issue of open management. The Afrikaans and English
groups see management as currently less open, and working less together
than some of the other groups. The Sotho group sees management as more
open and working more together than the other groups. The other Black
African groups (Nguni and Other African) as well as the Coloured group
all score higher on the main scale and other subscales of Open Management than the two White groups, although not significantly so. We could

The SANDF is a major public institution undergoing substantial transition within a multicultural context. Its ultimate success in achieving its
aims (see Figure 1) has major implications for South Africa, and the
southern African region. It can also be regarded in many ways as a microcosm of the new South African society, with its dynamics of integrating
and disintegrating influences ready to forge the nation together, or tear it
apart. Other institutions in South Africa can be analyzed in this way
(South African Police Service and other governmental services, the
parastatal organizations, as well as larger public and private concerns) as
can organizations in other countries that may be experiencing similar
dynamics. In particular, the reconciliation of different management systems in multicultural societies, often involving an interplay of Western
