Why does it matter that your organizational culture is one way rather than another

way?

Organizational culture being a one way is important for the organization and its

employees because it would be easy to understand and execute rather than complicated plans

in an organization. An organization's culture defines the proper way to behave within the

organization. This culture consists of shared beliefs and values established by leaders and

then communicated and reinforced through various methods, ultimately shaping employee

perceptions, behaviors and understanding. Organizational culture sets the context for

everything an enterprise does.

2. How does culture transform your company into a team? Cite an example.

Organizational culture transforms your company on a team because it sets a standard that

will be executed by the employees making them more organized, and it would also help them

know their co-employees more than usual. One example of this is the organizational

hierarchy that has authority in the company. Having distinct levels of hierarchy helps the

members of the company execute a well-defined organizational structure helping them to

relay ideas and plans, and also this would help them in exercising professionalism in the

workplace.
3. How does a strong organizational culture help you keep your best people?

Having a strong organizational culture means having a sense of identity in the company

that help each member of the company to function as professional and formal in the

workplace. Culture also provides an informal control mechanism, a strong sense of

identification with the organization and shared understanding among employees about what

is important. Employees whose organizations have strongly defined cultures can also justify

their behaviors at work because those behaviors fit the culture.

4. Why are shared values important?

Shared values are important basically because it helps the organization determine the

values that they will emphasize inside their organization.

5. How important is work ethics in the company and its employees?

Having work ethics in the company helps its members to co-exist with each other without

the doubt of unpleasant things that are not expected in a workplace. Some companies use

techniques such as; making their employees understand the values that the company are

aiming for; employees who share values and aspirations tend to outperform those in

environments that lack cohesiveness and common purposes. Performance management

programs can greatly affect corporate culture by clearly outlining what is expected from
employees as well as by providing a feedback tool that informs employees about proper

behavior.
