Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is a system of shared values, norms, and assumptions that guides members’ attitudes and behaviours and influences how they perceive and react to their environment. These assumptions are usually taken for granted by organizational members, and are taught to new members as they are socialized into the group. An organization’s culture is reflected in how it gets work done and how employees interact with each other. It takes a long time for a culture to evolve, and a long time to change it. When culture supports business strategy, the firm can become high performing.
