- Abstract
Purpose: The Malaysia Higher Education Blueprint 2015-2025 was devised with the aim of aligning knowledge, industry and humanity. Due to shortcomings in digital culture, training, support and leadership, the adaptation of Industry 4.0 is worthy of attention. The current study uses the Organisational Climate Measure (OCM) devised by Patterson et al (2005) adapted from the Competing Values Framework (CVF) by Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983). The OCM has received support as a comprehensive and general model of organizational efficiency. This paper will analyse the four climate dimensions of human relations, internal processes, rational goal and open systems. Design/methodology/approach: Studies of organisational climate were identified from Emerald, Science-Direct and JSTOR databases from 2012 to 2018. Twenty-eight studies were identified and each have been allocated into the four quadrants. The Malaysia Higher Education Blueprint 2015-2025 is applied to predict the higher education climate of academics in private institutions. Findings: Human Relations has more interest in research (12 studies), Internal Processes (8 studies) followed by Open Systems (4 studies) and Rational Goal (4 studies). The fourth industry revolution is causing an impact towards the role of academics. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence will automate most of HR processes which is expected to cause disruptions in talent management. Students are becoming meaning makers and co-creators of knowledge. Private and public institutions are now harmonised into one higher education regulatory framework. Research limitations/implications: Organisational climate is an important and neglected mediating factor between HR and employee outcomes. If the strength of organisational climate is increased, further improvements and stronger outcomes can be achieved. Further empirical study will be pursued. Practical implications: This study is concerned with the impact of change in organisational systems on groups and individuals. Organisational climate is the measure to examine how organisational systems are perceived by employees. Such effort will provide organisations with deeper insights on whether these systems have been effectively implemented. Originality/value: Malaysian higher education climate in Industry 4.0 applying the organizational climate measure (OCM) adapted from competing values framework (CVF).
