The purpose of this study was to assess employee perceptions of organisational culture to determine the perceived and desired organisational culture at the Africa Centre for HIV and AIDS Management at Stellenbosch University. The Competing Values Framework and the Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument were adopted into an online questionnaire to determine and assess the types of organisational culture in the public sector and were utilised for this qualitative research study. Analysis tools such as graphs, figures, and tables were used to present the findings regarding the responses to the closed-ended and open-ended questions. The study findings revealed that although organisational culture was well understood at the Africa Centre for HIV and AIDS Management, there were major concerns with respect to activities and potential changes, such as teambuilding, favouritism, accountability, focus on the vision and mission statement, and reinvention of job titles and roles, that should be addressed and undertaken to move the Africa Centre for HIV and AIDS Management towards clan culture as the desired organisational culture. While the findings show that most employees indicated that the perceived organisational culture was hierarchy culture, the recommendations that are made are intended to ensure that the Africa Centre for HIV and AIDS Management will be able to achieve the desired organisational culture. The researcher recommended that line managers become more empowered in effectively utilising management style, technology, rewards, and organisational structure to address and overcome the resistance to change highlighted by the participants. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoe werknemers organisasiekultuur waarneem, is belangrik vir 'n organisasie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om werknemers se persepsies van organisasiekultuur te assesseer om die waargenome en gewenste organisasiekultuur by die Afrika-sentrum vir MIV- en VIGS-bestuur aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch te bepaal. Die Mededingende Waardes Raamwerk en die Organisasiekultuur Assesseringsinstrument is in 'n aanlyn vraelys gebruik om die tipes organisasiekultuur in die openbare sektor te bepaal en te assesseer en is vir hierdie kwalitatiewe navorsingstudie gebruik. Ontledingsinstrumente soos grafieke, figure en tabelle is gebruik om die bevindinge aangaande die antwoorde op die geslote en oop vrae aan te bied. Die studiebevindinge het aan die lig gebring dat alhoewel organisasiekultuur goed verstaan is by die Afrika-sentrum vir MIV- en VIGS-bestuur, was daar groot kommer met betrekking tot aktiwiteite en potensiële veranderinge, soos spanbou, begunstiging, aanspreeklikheid, fokus op die visie en missiestelling, en heruitvinding van postitels en rolle, wat aangespreek en onderneem moet word om die Afrika-sentrum vir MIV- en VIGS-bestuur na stamkultuur as die gewenste organisasiekultuur te beweeg. Terwyl die bevindinge toon dat die meeste werknemers aangedui het dat die waargenome organisasiekultuur hierargiekultuur is, is die aanbevelings wat gemaak word bedoel om te verseker dat die Afrika-sentrum vir MIV- en VIGSbestuur die gewenste organisasiekultuur sal kan bereik. Die navorser het aanbeveel dat lynbestuurders meer bemagtig word om bestuurstyl, tegnologie, belonings en organisasiestruktuur effektief te benut om die weerstand teen verandering wat deur die deelnemers uitgelig is, aan te spreek en te oorkom.
