Data on teachers’ and students’ attitude to institutionalization of etiquette rules and dress code as well as students’ compliance with etiquette rules were collected using the author’s questionnaire; data on evaluation of etiquette functions were obtained through the questionnaire Subjective Evaluation of Etiquette Functions’ Significance by O.I. Danilenko, data on existing and preferred organizational culture in the respondents’ universities - through Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) by K. Cameron and R. Quinn. Results.

The higher are values of hierarchical culture characteristics, the lower is evaluation of etiquette importance.
