Abstract: This study questioned whether organizational cultural paradigms prevailing within the state universities facilitate them in providing effective postgraduate (PG) programmes. The study was designed in such a way that data relating to organizational cultural paradigms were obtained from staff members (senior academics and administrative staff) directly responsible for PG programmes (N=400) while data relating to the effectiveness of PG programmes were obtained as actual/true figures from university records. The study was confined to the University of Kelaniya and University of Moratuwa. Overall, the findings suggest that organizational cultural paradigms play a vital role in offering effective PG programmes.
