Organizational Culture
It is the behavior of humans within an
organization and the meaning that people attach to
those behaviors. Culture includes the organization's
vision values, norms, systems, symbols, language,
assumptions, beliefs, and habits. It is also the pattern
of such collective behaviors and assumptions that
are taught to new organizational members as a way
of perceiving, and even thinking and feeling.
Organizational culture affects the way people and
groups interact with each other, with clients, and with
stakeholders.

that helps hold an

Point-CounterPoint
• Why Culture Doesn’t Change
 Culture develops over
many years, and
becomes part of how the
organization thinks and
feels
 Selection and promotion
policies guarantee
survival of culture
 Top management
chooses managers likely
to maintain culture
• When Culture Can
Change

crisis

in leadership

13.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ORG. CULTURE &
ORG. CLIMATE
•Culture refers to ideologies, values and norms as
reflected in stories and symbols. We would look
for clues to the culture, for example, in accounts
of the organizations founding.
•Climate, on the other hand, refers to the
psychological environment as reflected in
attitudes and perceptions.

ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE

15.
Organizational structure
Purpose:
Organizational structure provides guidance to
all employees by laying out the official
reporting relationships that govern the
workflow of the company. A formal outline of a
company's structure makes it easier to add
new positions in the company, as well,
providing a flexible and ready means for
growth.

16.
Significance:
Without a formal organizational structure,
employees may find it difficult to know who
they officially report to in different situations,
and it may become unclear exactly who has
the final responsibility for what.
Organizational structure improves
operational efficiency by providing clarity to
employees at all levels of a company.

the synthesis and application of
