Abstract
Relevance. In the contemporary world, universities face challenges such as gaining technological supremacy and enhancing the volume and quality of socially responsible practices. This requires intensified participation by educational institutions in the socioeconomic development of regions via generation of innovations. It can be succeeded by transitioning to the model of a socially responsible university in three dimensions, such as the following: organisational values, and both the values of research and the work of employees. The objective of the study is to substantiate the author’s methodology for assessing the organisational culture of university using the “Double S Cube” model by Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones, based on key organisational values such as sociality and solidarity adequately constituting the university’s organisational values. The methodology comprises a systemic analysis and evaluation of expert data on the organisational values of universities. The scientific novelty focuses on structuring the diagnostics of the university’s organisational culture in accordance with the specified model.
