How the manager and senior leaders are could also be linked to a hiring bias tending to make everyone else that way.

I think that is a big part of it, but I have also witnessed organizations change 'tone' when a new leader was installed. Perhaps the most diverse were the transitions of "VP of Engineering" at NetApp between 2001 and 2006. Different styles of leader, and different behaviors in the organization as a whole.
