Corporate Culture

The culture within an organization can make or break how productive and how responsive the business operates. Organizational culture is the set of shared, taken-for-granted implicit assumptions that a group holds and that determines how it perceives, thins about, and reacts to its various environments, (Kinicki, A. and Kreitner, R., 2009).With that being said it becomes important to set values that you want everyone to work by. This will help when new employees are added to the team and will also help ensure that the behaviors within the organization are acceptable and beneficial to the overall outcome of the business. The culture should be determined right from the start so the right employees are hired. It becomes important to make sure that you have a way of identifying the people that truly allow your company to be successful and not just hire the superstar, (Morgan, H., 2008). Not everyone will fit in to all of the different type of organizational cultures.

The four types of organizational culture that stand out the most are control culture, performance culture, responsiveness culture, and relationship culture. Determining which type of culture you prefer to work in will help tremendously when trying to find an ideal business to work for. Each one of us is very different in how we react and respond to certain behaviors and actions. There is not necessarily one right or wrong answer in which type of culture will work best for an organization it truly depends on the individual who has to work within the business. A person who wants executives to control every function of how a business operates would not be well suited in an organization that strives more on the relationship culture within the organization.

When an employer values their employees and opening expresses this with some type of reward the employees will strive every day to make each and every customer feel appreciated and important. The organization will prosper by keeping great employees and the individual will benefit by having job reassurance. Each individual is different and each approach will suit people differently, it is just important to find where you fit in best.
