    Organizational culture is defined as a system of shared meanings and beliefs held by members of an organization. It provides standards for appropriate employee behavior and helps hold an organization together. Culture is communicated through stories, rituals, language, and material symbols. It functions to control behavior and define boundaries but can also inhibit change and diversity. Cultures form based on founders' philosophies and are reinforced through socialization and top management. While most organizations have a dominant culture, subcultures may also exist within an organization.
