CULTURE DEFINITION

Culture is a set ofvalues, beliefs,

common understanding,

thinking and norms for behavior that

are shared by all members of a society.

DEFINING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

Basically, organizational culture is the personality of the organization. Culture is comprised of the assumptions, values, norms and tangible signs (artifacts) of organization members and their behaviors.

Elements of Organizational Culture

Deciphering Organizational Culture through Artifacts

We can’t see an organization’s cultural assumptions,

values, and beliefs directly. Instead, organizational

culture is deciphered indirectly through artifacts.

Artifacts are the observable symbols and signs

of an organization’s culture, such as the way visitors

are greeted, the physical layout, and how employees

are rewarded.

ARTIFACTS

1) Physical structure

such as furniture , size , shape , location

2) Rituals

such as how visitors are greeted or how people communicate with each other

3) Ceremonies

Include publicly rewarding (or punishing) employees, or celebrating the launch of a new product or newly won contract.

4) Stories and Legends

5) languages

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTUREThe assumptions, values, and

beliefs that represent organizational behavior operate beneath the surface of organizational behavior.

They are not directly observed, yet their effects are everywhere.

Organizational cultureBELIEFS : Beliefs represent the

individual’s perceptions of reality.VALUES : Values are more stable,

long-lasting beliefs about what is important.

ASSUMPTIONS : represent the deepest part of organizational culture because they are Unconscious.
