What is Organizational Culture ?
Organizations culture is based on
values derived from basic assumptions about;
- Human Nature – Lead to belief about how employees, customers and suppliers should interact and how they should be managed.
- Organizations relationship to its environment – How does the organizations define and its constituencies
- Suitable emotions – Which emotions should people be encouraged to express and which ones should be suppressed
- Effectiveness – What matrix show whether the organization and its individual components are doing well. Organizations are going to be effective only when the culture is supported by an appropriate business strategy and a structure.
Culture is difficult to define;
organizations may have trouble maintaining consistency in their massages about
culture. Employees may also find it difficult to identify and communicate about
perceived culture inconsistencies.

ReplyDeleteYes Chainica. It is very difficult to define what organizational culture is. There are so many definitions for that. This just a one article about the culture and hope you got an idea from this.
DeleteCan you please give some more info on 'perceived culture inconsistencies' that you've mentioned above?.
ReplyDeleteShelton, Perceived culture inconsistencies is not a type of culture. Hope you can get an clear idea by reading the article.
DeleteCulture is powerfully shaped by incentives. The best predictor of what people will do is what they are incentivized to do. By incentives, we mean here the full set of incentives — monetary rewards, non-monetary rewards such as status, recognition and advancement, and sanctions — to which members of the organization are subject. But where do incentives come from? As with the previous definition, there are potential chicken-and-egg issues. Are patterns of behavior the product of incentives, or have incentives been shaped in fundamental ways by beliefs and values that underpin the culture?
ReplyDeleteCulture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid
