Abstract
The present study aimed to explore employee images of organisational culture within a South African
organisation. In order to investigate the aim of the present study, the following research question was
put forward. What, if any, insights do the images elicited from the employees provide about the culture
of the organisation. The present study is classified as a qualitative, non-experimental, and an ex-post
facto design. A sample of seven employees from the organisation was interviewed using an explorative
technique, which made use of metaphors. The results of the present study indicated that the case study
organisation’s culture could be assessed and accessed by means of metaphorical language.
