Organization Culture

INTRODUCTION

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an


organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing
direction for the people who work in the organization. Human Resource
Management can also be performed by line managers. Human Resource
Management is the organizational function that deals with issues related to
people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization
development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication,
administration, and training.

Culture is the most important aspect that directly contributes to the


development of human resources. If human resources have to be developed, the
organization should create conditions in which people acquire new knowledge
and skills and develop healthy patterns of behavior and styles. This type of
environment can be achieved only by acquiring proper knowledge on
organizational culture.

Henry Mintzbergon Culture:

According to him “Culture is the soul of the organization — the beliefs


and values, and how they are manifested. I think of the structure as the skeleton,
and as the flesh and blood. And culture is the soul that holds the thing together
and gives it life force.”
Culture is essential because technology is developing continuously and at
a fast rate. Systems and practices get outdated soon due to new discoveries in
technology, including technical, managerial and behavioral aspects. Developing
individuals in the organization can contribute to the effectiveness of the
organization. Hence, the organizations should develop such mechanisms, which

support the growing technology and proper monitoring should be given so as to


make it fruitful.

“Always remember that you are unique, just like everybody else.”

- Margaret mead

Culture has evolved substantially from last few years with evidence
indicating more organizational interest regarding cultural development. Given
the intense pressure to compete, improve quality and customer service, and
lower costs, leading American companies have come to view culture as a key to
organizational survival and success. Likewise, in countries around the World,
culture has become increasingly important to prepare workers for new jobs.
Most firms not only invest in the continual learning of workers in order to be
competitive, but many companies are providing training to workers who are
new to the workforce. Many of these firms provide training regarding cultural
adaptation in addition to skills training.

The focus of culture is on the employee novice. Such learning


experiences are concerned with actual job performance. For positions, which are
highly measurable and clearly identifiable, it is fairly easy to specify the job and
the performance outputs. For other positions, such as from the cadres above
supervisor, it becomes more difficult to measure the exact job performance,
though efforts are proceeding in this direction.

An organization has the right to expect that if culture was the reason for
the program, then there should be some return on the job now being done by
employee.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Telecom in the real sense means transfer of information between two


distant points in space. The popular meaning of telecom always involves
electrical signals and nowadays people exclude postal or any other raw
telecommunication methods from its meaning. Therefore, the history of Indian
telecom can be started with the introduction of telegraph.

Introduction the postal and telecom sectors had a slow and uneasy start in
India. In 1850, the first experimental electric telegraph Line was started
between Kolkata and Diamond Harbor. In 1851, it was opened for the British
East India Company. The Posts and Telegraphs department occupied a small
corner of the Public Works Department, at that time. Construction of 4,000
miles (6,400 km) of telegraph lines connecting Kolkata (Calcutta) and Peshawar
in the north along with Agra, Mumbai (Bombay) through Sindwa Ghats, and
Chennai in the south, as well as Ootacamund and Bangalore was started in
November 1853. Dr. William O'Shaughnessy, who pioneered telegraph and
telephone in India, belonged to the Public Works Department. He worked
towards the development of telecom throughout this period. A separate
department was opened in 1854 when telegraph facilities were opened to the
public.

A large population, low telephony penetration levels, and a rise in


consumers' income and spending owing to strong economic growth have helped
make India the fastest-growing telecom market in the world. The first operator
is the state-owned incumbent BSNL.

BSNL was created by corporatization of the erstwhile DTS (Department


of Telecommunication Services), a government unit responsible for provision of
telephony services. Subsequently, after the telecommunication policies were
revised to allow private operators, companies such as Vodafone, Bharti Airtel,
Tata Indicom, Idea Cellular, Aircel and Loop Mobile have entered the space.

In 2008-09, rural India outpaced urban India in mobile growth rate.


Bharti Airtel now is the largest telecom company in India.

COMPANY PROFILE

FOUNDER’S PROFILE:

Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their


country’s economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai
H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind a legacy that is more enduring and
timeless. As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of
describing the true genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the

unmatched strategist, the proud patriot, the leader of men, the architect of
India’s capital markets, and the champion of shareholder interest. .

But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India’s
greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial
scratch, India’s largest private sector enterprise. When Dhirubhai embarked
on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely US$ 300
(around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted
this fledgling enterprise into an Rs 60,000 crore colossus-an achievement
which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever
Indian private company to do so.

Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In


1977, when Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian
stock market was a place patronized by a small club of elite investors which
dabbled in a handful of stocks. Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince
a large number of first-time retail investors to participate in the unfolding
Reliance story and put their hard-earned money in the Reliance Textile IPO,
promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on their
investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect
and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.

Under Dhirubhai extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted


one of the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the
world, and went on to become India’s largest private sector enterprise.

Organization Culture

Gareth Morgan has described organizational culture as: "The set of the set
of beliefs, values, and norms, together with symbols like dramatized events and
personalities that represents the unique character of an organization, and
provides the context for action in it and by it." Beliefs and values are words that
will pop up frequently in other definitions, as well. Norms might be described
as traditions, structure of authority, or routines.

- Gareth Morgan

Routine behaviors: Norms shared by teams, dominant values, guiding


philosophy for policies toward employees and customers, the rules of the game
for getting along in the organization, the climate of the organization.

Organization culture is mainly based and formulated for welfare of


employees as well as customers. It includes all services, amenities and facilities
which are provided by the employer in order to enable the employees to
perform their work in healthy and congenial surrounding and provide them with
amenities conductive to good health morals.

Welfare work may be defined as “Work for improving the health, safety,
general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the
minimum standards laid down in the Factories Act and other legislations”.

From the above observations it can be that culture total composition of


social and relative concept. The total concept of culture involves physical,
mental, moral emotional well being of the individual. These four elements
altogether constitute the “four pillars” of organization culture.

Objectives of culture regarding HRD:

Dupadu (V), N.H-7, KURNOOL-518218, Ph No-08518-287619. [Type text] Page 29
Organization Culture

1. To prepare the employee to meet the present and changing future job
requirements.
2. To promote good relations.
3. To ensure smooth and efficient running of the organization.
4. To create a climate that enables every employee to fulfill his individual
and organizational goals.
5. To broaden the minds of the superiors by giving opportunities to the
employees in sharing their views and experiences.
6. To develop their general capabilities as individuals and discover and
exploit their own inner potentials for their own and organizations growth.
7. To develop an organizational culture in which superior-subordinate
relationship, team work and collaboration among sub-units are strong and
contribute to the professional well-being, motivation and pride of
employees.

Scope of organization culture in HRD:

The scope of HRD is limited to ‘Training and Management development,


Career planning and development, Organization Change and development,
Quality of Work life, Quality of Circles, job enrichment’. The activities such as
Training and Development are Safety and Health Programs, Welfare programs,
Communication, Personality Development, Obsolescence prevention,
improving their Performance, Social security etc,. It can be explained basing on
the following example:

and the same consumers are willing to pay more for branded quality clothes.

Significance of Organization Culture:

In the last 35 years, both awareness and concern for our natural
environment have become incorporated into our consciousness. Natural fibers,
recycling, biodegradable goods, concern for natural habitats, the disappearing
ozone layer, and second-hand smoke are all concepts that have filtered into our
personal and business behaviors.

The pattern of shared values, beliefs and assumptions considered to be the


appropriate way to think and act within an organization. Organization culture
can simply said in other words the art or custom of a particular group which
includes intellect of that group.

To identify and meet the needs and expectation of its customers and the
interested parties (people in the organization suppliers, owners, society) to
achieve competitive advantage and to do this effective and efficient manner, and
to achieve, maintain and improve overall organization performance and
capabilities organization culture takes the major role.

A sound organization is one which consists of good organization culture


includes industrial relationship system between management and employees
(and their representatives) on the one hand, and between them and the State on
the other, are more harmonious and cooperative than conflictual and creates an
environment conducive to economic efficiency and the motivation, productivity
and development of the employee and generates employee loyalty and mutual
trust.

Organization Culture

Few of the areas where culture takes its part are:


1. Culture is shared
2. Culture helps members solve problems
3. Culture is taught to newcomers
4. Culture strongly influences behavior

Artifacts: Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. Artifacts
include personal enactment, ceremonies and rites, stories, rituals, and symbols.

1. Personal Enactment Personal enactment is behavior that reflects the


organization's values.

2. Ceremonies and Rites Ceremonies can be divided into organizational rites,


including rites of passage, rites of enhancement, rites of renewal, rites of
integration, rites of conflict reduction, and rites of degradation. They are
relatively elaborate sets of activities that are enacted repeatedly on important
occasions.

3. Stories are rich carriers of organizational culture that give meaning and
identity to organizations and help orient new employees. There are stories
about the boss, stories about getting fired, stories about how the company deals
with employees who have to relocate, stories about whether lower-level
employees can rise to the top, stories about how the company deals with crisis
situations, and stories about how status considerations work when rules are
broken.

4. Rituals Everyday practices that are repeated frequently are known as rituals.
Typically unwritten, rituals send a clear message about the way things are done
in an organization.

5. Symbols communicate the culture through unspoken messages, and include


company logos, company colors, and even mental images held by employees.

Organization Culture

Values: Values are a deeper level of culture that reflects underlying beliefs.
An espoused value is what organizational members say they value, like ethical
practice. Enacted values are values reflected in the way individuals actually
behave, and may differ from espoused values.

Assumptions: Assumptions are deeply held beliefs that guide behavior and
tell members of an organization how to perceive and think about things. They
are often held at a level below consciousness and are difficult to measure.

Adaptive cultures encourage confidence and risk taking among


employees, have leadership that produces change, and focus on the changing
needs of customers. Cultures that promote long-term performance tend to be
the most adaptive. Adaptive cultures facilitate change to meet the needs of their
constituents.

The leader's role in shaping and reinforcing culture

A. What Leaders Pay Attention to Organizational members can get information


about the priorities, values, and beliefs of leaders by observing the things on
which leaders spend their time, as long as leaders are consistent in the things to
which they pay attention.

B. How Leaders React to Crises Many believe that organizations show their real
culture during times of crisis, and consequently pay close attention to the
leaders during a crisis situation

C. How Leaders Behave Employees emulate the leader's behavior and look to
leaders for cues to appropriate behavior. Leaders demonstrate the organization’s
values and culture through their behavior.

Dupadu (V), N.H-7, KURNOOL-518218, Ph No-08518-287619. [Type text] Page 33
Organization Culture

D. How Leaders Allocate Rewards

Rewarding behavior that is consistent with the organization’s values


increases acceptance of those values and the organization’s culture. If leaders
do not allocate rewards in a way that reinforces espoused values, employees
may become confused and frustrated.

E. How Leaders Hire and Fire Individuals

Leaders often reinforce a desired organizational culture through the


selection of new employees whose value systems are similar to the
organization’s value system. Promoting from within the organization also
serves to reinforce the culture. Also, both the rationale behind firing an
employee and the manner in which the termination is carried out convey a great
deal about the organization’s culture.

Assessing organizational culture:

Quantitative and qualitative techniques are both valuable approaches to


assessing culture.

Organizational Culture Inventory: Based on Maslow's need hierarchy, the


Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI) measures twelve cultural styles. It
provides an assessment of culture at the individual level that can be aggregated
to the group level or organization level. The two dimensions of the OCI are
task/people and security/satisfaction.

Kilmann-Saxton Culture-Gap Survey: This survey focuses on what actually


happens and on the expectations of others in the organization. It measures
operating norms and ideal norms along the two dimensions of technical/human
and time (short term versus long term). Results provided at the individual level
can be aggregated to the group level.

Organization Culture

Triangulation: Triangulation refers to the use of multiple methods to measure


organizational culture. Three commonly used methods include (1) obtrusive
observations, (2) self-administered questionnaires, and (3) personal interviews.
This approach provides a more complete picture than using any of the methods
singularly would reveal.

How to Develop Group Norms:

The members of every team and work group develop particular ways of
interacting with each other over time. Effective interpersonal communication
among group members and successful communication with managers and
employees external to the team are critical components of group functioning.
With the potential power of the impact of these interactions on group success,
why leave group member interaction to chance? Adopt group relationship
guidelines or group norms early to ensure group success.

Trust Rules: The Most Important Secret without it, we have nothing. Trust
forms the foundation for effective communication, employee retention, and
employee motivation and contribution of discretionary energy, the extra effort
that people voluntarily invest in work. When trust is present, everything else is
easier.

How to Demonstrate Respect at Work: Ask anyone at the workplace what


treatment they most want at work. They will likely top their list with the desire
to be treated with dignity and respect. We can demonstrate respect with simple,
yet powerful actions. These ideas will help you avoid needless, insensitive,
unmeant disrespect, too. Read more about respect.

Some situations or the conditions which show some effect in adopting


cultural change are:

• A dramatic crisis
• Turnover in leadership
• Young and small organizations
• Weak culture

Organization Culture

How Employees Can Change Unethical culture:

Employees can develop some kinds of unethical behaviors which help in


the downfall of the organization. Some of those aspects are as follows.
• Secretly or publicly reporting unethical actions to a higher level within the
organization.
• Secretly or publicly reporting unethical actions outside the organization.
• Secretly or publicly threatening an offender or responsible manager with
reporting unethical actions.
• Quietly or publicly refusing to implement an unethical order or policy.

Actions Organizations Can Take to Develop an Ethical Culture:

In order to come out of that kind of unethical behaviours organization


need to take care of its employees and their behaviours by formulating good
culture.
• Be realistic in setting values and goals regarding employee relationships.
• Encourage input from organization members regarding appropriate values and
practices for implementing the culture.
• Do not automatically opt for a “strong” culture.
• Provide training on adopting and implementing the organization’s values.

Organization Culture

Selection: Identify and hire individuals who will fit in with the culture
Top Management: Senior executives establish and communicate the norms of
the organization
Socialization: Organizations need to teach the culture to new employees

Suggestions for Changing Culture:

1. Change the reward system to encourage acceptance of a new set of


values.

2. Replace unwritten norms with formal rules and regulations that are
tightly enforced.

3. Shake up current subcultures through transfers, job rotation, and/or


terminations

4. Work to get peer group consensus through utilization of employee


participation and creation of a climate with a high level of trust.

Models In Organization Culture:

a) Kevin Eikenberry:

At the time, any new employee knew what was happening and why it was
important to the development of the culture in this organization. They may not
understand it the way they do now …

For a whole variety of reasons, organizational culture is important to the


health or viability of any organization.

It is one thing to know something is important. It is another thing entirely


to know what to do about it. This article will give some specific things that can
be done to act on the importance of organizational culture.

Organization Culture

Get help: Wherever a person sits in the organizational structure or hierarchy the
impact of organizational culture can be in a positive or in negative ways– but
why would they want to do that? Admittedly, if that person is in a position of
leadership, it might be easier, but every one can have an impact. But they can’t
do it alone. Form a team of like-minded, interested and enthusiastic people, and
get them on board with developing and enhancing the culture.

Get a vision: Get the team get to discuss the current culture. Define the parts
of the culture that are already great and need to be supported. And honestly
determine where the culture could use some polishing. Then create a vision of
the culture which is needed to be created, taking into account the entire current
picture – the warts and the beauty marks.

Get strategic: The team will recognize that this is important – some people
who already understand that are to be picked and a deeper understanding have
to be developed, a vision of a desired future culture. Help everyone understand
– the team and organizational leadership – that this isn’t a band-aid, quick fix;
but an ongoing, strategic intention to build a more attractive culture that fits the
needs of the organization.

Get people excited: Chances are the culture team will be excited. If not, get
them excited! Help the team recognize that not everyone else in the organization
is going to think that these efforts are worthwhile immediately. Remember that
enthusiasm is contagious. Do what you can to keep the enthusiasm of your team
high. If their excitement falters, remind them of the vision they created to re-
invigorate them.

Get a champion: That person may be you, or it may be someone else on the
team. In my case, I took on an alter ego of the “phun phantom”. While a
moniker might not be necessary, a point person, whether anonymous or not, is

Dr. K.V.SUBBAREDDY College of engeneering for women JNT University Anantapur,

Organization Culture

important. Culture change is like any other change – it requires champions. The
champion needs to be someone who is passionate about creating the new
culture. As in my case, this might be a perfect role for a young energetic person,
but don’t assign the role. The best champions will rise up and “select”
themselves.

Get started: Get momentum on your side. Any change will have a greater
chance of success with momentum. Don’t form your team today if you don’t
think you’ll be able to get them going quickly. Don’t think of this something
that can be done in a couple of weeks. A single event that you hope will
permanently change the culture – won’t. In fact, it might have the opposite
effect entirely. Get started but be committed to building momentum and staying
with it. It will be one of the most rewarding efforts you and your team will ever
engage in.

Particular or specific cultural events to try are not given. Why? Because
each individuals perception will be different so kind of changes are needed are
to be decided first. In that process one need to create higher levels of
camaraderie and more fun in the workplace. People may have that and may
want to enhance your culture in completely different ways. These seven things
are by no means a complete list – but they are a great place to start. And getting
started is the most important next step of all.

Views of Kevin Eikenberry on organization culture are explained as follows:

Employees spend 40 … or 45 … or 50 … or more hours at work each


week. Many of them spend more time with those they work with, than they do
their families. For us to be content and fulfilled people, that time must be
valuable for more than a dollar …

Dr. K.V.SUBBAREDDY College of engeneering for women JNT University Anantapur,


Dupadu (V), N.H-7, KURNOOL-518218, Ph No-08518-287619. [Type text] Page 40
Organization Culture

We want to be engaged in our work. We yearn for work that is enjoyable,


meaningful and engaging. When we are engaged we are safer on the job, more
productive and more willing and able to delight Customers.

It is for these basic reasons that organizational culture matters. It is the


right thing for an organization to do – to think about the work environment,
working relationships and “how we do things here”.

Focusing on building and sustaining an organizational culture is one way


of showing that people are the organization’s most valuable asset.

There are of course many other bottom line business reasons to focus on
and build organizational culture. Here are seven of those reasons.

A strong culture is a talent-attractor

Organizations culture is a part of the package that prospective employees


look at when assessing the organization. Gone are the days of selecting the

person you want from a large eager pool. The talent market is tighter and those
looking for a new organization are more selective than ever. The best people
want more than a salary and good benefits. They want an environment they can
enjoy and succeed in.

Implementing Change:
Unfreezing: getting ready for change, minimizing resistance.
Moving: making the change: Changing people (individuals and groups);
Tasks; Structure; Technology
Refreezing: stabilizing the change: Reinforcing outcomes, evaluating results,
making constructive modifications
Unfreezing:
Arouse dissatisfaction with the current state: Tell them about deficiencies in
organization
Activate and strengthen top management support: Need to break down power
centers
Moving:
Establish goals: E.G. Make business profitable by end of next year
Institute smaller, acceptable changes that reinforce and support change: E.G.
Procedures and rules, job descriptions, reporting relationships
Develop management structures for change: E.G. Plans, strategies,
mechanisms that ensure change occurs
Maintain open, two-way communication
Refreezing:
Build success experiences: Set targets for change, and have everyone work
toward targets
Reward desired behavior:

GOOD - reward behavior that reinforces changes


BAD: Reward old system (e.g., people relying on old systems while
computerization is going on)

In their famous books “in search of excellence” Peter and Waterman


discussed brilliant companies and what characterizes them and their culture is.

• Stress action

• Superior contact with customers – quality, service, reliability

• Independence and entrepreneurship – many leaders and innovators

• Productivity through motivated employees

• Motivate the employees – participate yourself

• Focus on the activity that you have a good command of

• Simple form, small management

• An organization which is both firm and soluble

The last and somewhat least summarizing attribute, a firm and soluble
organization, means that a firm centralized combined with maximum individual
independence is preferable.

c) Creating an Environment for a Different Kind of "Green"

The result of the awareness is a pretty good understanding of the


interdependence we have with our natural environments and reasons to respect
them. Do we have a similar appreciation for the contribution of our working
environments to our business success? Do we understand the relationship
between the environment in which we work and our ability to be creative and
productive while working? Do we understand the many ways in which we can
create an environment that fosters important business qualities – loyalty,
enthusiasm, desire to contribute, creativity and productivity – both for ourselves
and, if we have them, our employees?

Organization Culture

I’m sure we all remember the popular debate about nature vs. nurture –
the impact of genetic heritage vs. the environment in shaping who we are, our
values, behaviors and attitudes. Regardless of which feature wins in the end,
environment has a huge impact on personal attributes.

We rarely think about this, yet we all inhabit a variety of “environments”


affecting our business life. Some are obvious – we know that if we’re cold, in
the dark and hungry, work is not likely to be at the top of our priorities until
those “environments” are corrected. Some are not so obvious yet have
considerable impact, just the same. And, if not consciously designed and
nurtured, our working environments can have a major impact on business
success, affecting a business’ ability to attract and keep desirable employees,
attendance, creativity, productivity, general work habits, team effectiveness, use
of time, valuable communications; essentially all those qualities a business
depends on to get the job done.

We can think about this, another way. When developing products, don’t
we bend over backwards to give them all the support we can to ensure they’ll
succeed and thrive? We find funds to develop and promote them, we find
champions who’ll support their development, we find partners, test markets,
affiliates and more. Just as you would provide a new product or service, every
working person deserves all the support available to ensure success – for
themselves and for the contribution they make to your business. Part of this
support comes from the environments in which we all work. Consider these and
how they affect the business.

Relationships: Our colleagues, managers, employees, and associates. The


people with whom we have regular contact create an environment of attitude,
either supporting or defeating our efforts to complete tasks. Are you likely to try
something new, submit a proposal, and follow through on a pet project,
Dr. K.V.SUBBAREDDY College of engeneering for women JNT University Anantapur,

Organization Culture

volunteer your ideas if those around you are negative, denigrating, rude and
unappreciative? Do you think similar attitudes affect the degree of interest your
employees have in doing excellent work? In wanting to do more than the
minimum required? You bet they do.

On the other hand, an environment of support, regular feedback,


appreciation, ongoing communication, and encouragement for contribution can
be created with little cost and huge payback for your business.

Networks: Our customers, partners, web relations, the ‘6-degree’ circle of


associates we all possess. What we know, who we know and how well we share
our knowledge, contacts and tips create an environment of value. Possessing a
mentality of abundance (a willingness to share, knowing that by giving you get
in return, believing that others’ success can be your success) creates a reputation
for you of great value. A mentality of scarcity (believing that there’s not enough
to go around, that shortage creates value that fear is a great motivator) is far less
likely to reap you the true rewards of networking: being let into the enormous
webs of valuable connections represented by all those business cards exchanged
at monthly business meetings, luncheons and seminars.

Physical: The things with which we surround ourselves. Yes, as pointed out
above we don’t work well in the cold or dark and who can concentrate over a
grumbling tummy? Many of us use art, plants or favorite toys to liven up a
workspace. Just ask yourself this question: where are you when you’re doing
your best work? If it’s your working space you’re lucky. Wherever it is what’s
in that space that’s so supportive of our business activity? Colors you enjoy?
Music that pleases you? Photos that evoke your personal life, hobbies or
passions? Comfortable furniture? Access to others? Solitude?

If we know the things we have in your working space support our


business activity, offered the same opportunity to the employees? If we do our
best work when out of the office, how can we bring to your office those touches
that embrace our work habits?

Your self: Health, personal gifts, values, energy, the attitude with which we
face the world. We know that when we don’t feel well, physically, we simply
are less likely to produce our best work. We’re easily defeated by a cold,
summer or otherwise. The same can happen if we’re doing work that doesn’t
take advantage of our personal skill set. A person love to write and interact with
people in business conversation; if that person had a job that doesn’t allow him
to do either he’d express far less passion for the work than if he could express
myself through those activities he most enjoy. Or think how difficult it can be to
produce quality work if we’re in an environment that contradicts our values. If
we (or our employees) have to check our sense of integrity at the door each
morning, you’re coming to work with an important component missing.

Take a look at your employees; is it possible they’re simply not engaged


in the best tasks they could be doing for us. Do you know what their true
strengths are and are those gifts engaged in service to the business? Do you
know specifically why your employees work for you and whether you can
enhance that reward for them with the right environment?

Bottom line: Does your place of business provide an environment in which


employees are supported to do their best work for you? Are they encouraged to
learn, read, and maintain professional affiliations that will increase their
effectiveness for your business?

Creating an environment that supports your business may be trickier than just
providing the necessary physical tools and working space but it doesn’t have to

be costly. It calls for taking a look at the messages your employees get from all
the environments in which they operate on your behalf and ensuring those
messages say ‘your work is valued and vital to the health of this business; how
can we support you toward that goal?’

When is the ideal time to create environments that will support all the
work you do to create a business that thrives? NOW, Because businesses that
thrive create their own kind of ‘green’ – and you can take that to the bank.

Social glue that hold an organization together

Organization culture also deals with the term ‘Industrial Relations’ which
comprises of two terms: ‘Industry’ and ‘Relations’. “Industry” refers to “any
productive activity in which an individual (or a group of individuals) is (are)
engaged”. By “relations” we mean “the relationships that exist within the
industry between the employer and his workmen.”

The term industrial relations explain the relationship between employees


and management which stem directly or indirectly from union-employer
relationship. Due to the growing need for the raw material, customer’s
expectations are increasing which is a tedious task for the companies to reach.
Therefore the staff has become a much more important resource for companies
where contact with customers is the key. In order to greet the customers in a
positive and friendly way, the employees must be happy with their tasks,
colleagues and workplace and at the same time feel motivated to work in line
with the company’s goals and values.

Provides appropriate standards for what employees should say or do


regarding their work Boundary is needed to be defining. Conveys a sense of
identity for organization members facilitates commitment to something larger

than one’s individual self-interest. Enhances social system stability, serves as a


“sense-making” and control mechanism – Guides and shapes the attitudes and
behavior of employees.

Changing Organizational Culture:

a) Organizations Culture at Individually organizations:

Corporate cultures provide identifying characteristics and values for


organizational members to appreciate and learn. Cultures are distinguished by
artifacts, values, and basic assumptions. The socialization process is the entry
stage in an organization that provides clues about its culture. Cultures are

difficult to change, yet change is necessary in some instances for survival.


Organizations need an adaptive culture in order to respond effectively to the
changing environment.

Organizational culture is the workplace environment formulated from the


interaction of the employees in the workplace. Organizational culture is defined
by all of the life experiences, strengths, weaknesses, education, upbringing, and
so forth of the employees. While executive leaders play a large role in defining
organizational culture by their actions and leadership, all employees contribute
to the organizational culture.

Environment for People at Work: People in every workplace talk about


organization culture, the mysterious word that characterizes a work
environment. One of the key questions when employers hire an employee
explores whether the candidate is a good “cultural fit”. Culture is difficult to
define, but you generally know when you have found an employee who appears
to fit your organizational culture. Learn more about organizational culture.

How to understand our Current Culture: Are you ready to take a look at the
culture that exists in your organization? Your assessment of your culture may
make you happy; your assessment may make you sad. Whatever your culture
assessment teaches you about your culture, though, your culture is what it is. To
change your culture, to enhance your culture, to benefit from your culture, you
need to see and understand your culture. Take the first step.

b) Organizational Culture in global scenario:

Organizations need to periodically reassess their cultures as


environmental changes occur due to globalization, workforce diversity, and
advances in technology. Mergers and acquisitions require the blending of two
organizational cultures, often a difficult process. Two basic approaches to
changing culture are

1. Helping current organizational members buy into a new set of values.

2. Adding newcomers and socializing them into the organization, and removing
current members as appropriate.

Developing a Global Organizational Culture: Developing a global


organizational culture requires that the values that drive an organization’s
culture support a global view of the company and its efforts. Conflicting
pressures of centralization and decentralization add to the difficulty of creating
such a culture.

Developing an Ethical Organizational Culture: An organization’s culture can


profoundly affect the ethical behavior of its employees. Managers must behave
in an ethical manner themselves; encourage ethical behavior from heir
employees, and present ethical behavior as good business. Trust plays an
important role in any effort to develop an ethical organizational culture.

Organization Culture

Developing a Culture of Empowerment and Quality: Empowerment requires


trust between managers and supervisors and between supervisors and
employees. In an environment of trust, empowerment releases the creative
energy of employees and leads to increased productivity and higher quality
products and services. However, in order to develop a culture of empowerment,
managers must be willing to let go of traditional hierarchical notions of power.

Organizational culture has four functions:

1. Giving members a sense of identity and increasing their commitment

2. Serving as a sense-making device for members

3. Reinforcing organizational values

4. Serving as a control mechanism for shaping behavior.

Leaders shape and reinforce culture by what they pay attention to, how
they react to crises, how they behave, how they allocate rewards, and how they
hire and fire individuals. Organizational socialization is the process by which
newcomers become participating, effective members of the organization. Its
three stages are anticipatory socialization, encounter, and change and
acquisition. Each stage plays a unique role in communicating organizational
culture. The Organizational Culture Inventory and Kilmann-Saxton Culture-Gap
Survey are two quantitative instruments for assessing organizational culture.
Triangulation, using multiple methods for assessing culture, is an effective
measurement strategy.

Actors of the Organization culture are:


Four main parties are directly involved in industrial relations:

1. Employers

Organization Culture

2. Employees

3. Government

The scope of organization culture is:

Organization culture is having a wider scope and may have different


interpretation in different countries depending upon the socio-economic
conditions, political outlook and social philosophy.

1. To enrich better quality of work life.


2. To improve the efficiency of work.
3. To enrich industrial relations and industrial peace.
4. To raise physical standards of the work force.
5. To enhance the purchasing and serving capacity of the Labor.

Characteristics of Organizational Culture: Organization culture is an essential


element which even includes industrial relations system which in turn consisting
of the whole range of scope for relationships between employees and employees
and employers which are managed by the means of conflict and cooperation.
Innovation and risk-taking: The degree to which employees are encouraged to
be innovative and take risks.
Attention to detail: The degree to which employees are expected to exhibit
precision, analysis, and attention to detail.
Outcome orientation: The degree to which management focuses on results or
outcomes rather than on technique and process.

People orientation: The degree to which management decisions take into


consideration the effect of outcomes on people within the organization.
Team orientation: The degree to which work activities are organized around
teams rather than individuals.
Aggressiveness: The degree to which people are aggressive and competitive

rather than easygoing.


Stability: The degree to which organizational activities emphasize maintaining
the status quo in contrast to growth.

What can we do to develop Culture?

1. Human Resource Departments need to begin to collect and use the


absenteeism and other health statistics in a strategic way. This means being
proactive in their organizations to begin to educate their own managers.

2. Train managers to manage for performance as well as managing for health. If


they see a performance change in an employee who is considered a good
performer, managers need to be given the language to enter into the appropriate
conversation with their employee to discern the problem. The manger is not
being asked to be a doctor or psychiatrist. She is being asked to point the
employee in the right direction, i.e. going to EAP or whatever is the most
appropriate course of action to restore the employee to fully productivity.

3. Educate your employees. This can be done using lunch and learns. Use your
own internal health statistics to determine the priority for the programs.

4. Ensure that your absenteeism policies are not encouraging sick employees to
come to work.

5. View employee productivity from a systems perspective. Employee health is


inexorably linked to productivity. Therefore all managers should be held
accountable for both their own business performance measures as well as for
their unit’s absenteeism. In other words the health of their employees is now
their responsibility and not the responsibility of their health department. We
worked with a client where this was instituted. The health of the employees in

Organization Culture

their department was discussed along with business issues at the weekly
departmental meetings. Absenteeism decreased and productivity increased.

6. Assess your company drug plan. Does it support a healthy workplace or is it


acting as a disincentive. You may be surprised what you find. Make sure that in
your assessment you consider the whole system. Look at the cost side and also
look at what is gained by supporting, for example, employees who may be
suffering from allergies and with the correct medication are able to be fully
productive.

7. Introduce health promotion programs. There is a litany of programs and you


have to choose the most appropriate for your organization. For example, EAP,
flu shots, blood pressure testing, exercising, smoke cessation, weight loss and
stress management programs.

8. But before you lunge into any of these programs make sure you understand
root causes of the disabilities in your organization. For example, how much are
organizational practices and leadership behaviors contributing to stress, chronic
back pain and depression. Although health promotion programs can be
effective, their effectiveness is dramatically reduced if organizational causes are
not addressed first. The use of a leading edge diagnostic, such as the Entec’s
Employee Engagement Survey, that measures both organizational factors and
employee health factors can be an invaluable first step to identify causes of
employee ill-health and to create a framework for improving health and
productivity.

Better management of employee health can lead to improved productivity


and this in turn can create a competitive advantage. With scare resources you
may discover that reallocating funds towards health from training dollars will
achieve greater productivity gains.

Cultural expressions through The Onion diagram:

- Hofstede

There are many ways in which culture is defined in them Hofstede Onion
theory is one. According to Hofstede, cultural phenomena can be summarized
basing on the following 4 dimensions, symbols, heroes, rituals and values.

Symbols: Symbols are a collected term for words, gestures, images or objects
connected to a special meaning for the members of a certain culture that may
vary among the members of that organization. Culture is important for a
company for its day-t- day work to proceed without any hurdles. It is important
to make the employees aware of what to do and how to do. Companies with

strong culture know how to communicate with people of different kinds of


behaviors and perspectives.

Heroes: Heroes are the people, who may be alive, dead or may even be made
up, but their qualities have a strong significance within the culture and are made
ironic. The heroes are the central figures of a strong culture. To further
strengthen organization values, raising the motivation of the employees is a
crucial function of heroes.

Rituals: Rituals are activities performed collectively that lack a specific goal but
are seen to socially important within the culture. Even rituals with an expressed
purpose, such as a business meeting, are principally performed because of the
ritual aspect which can allow both leaders and employees to be heard.

Values: Values lie in the core of the onion, values play a major role in letting
the person know what is right and what is wrong, good or bad or so on. Positive
and negative feelings lea the foundation for values. T hey help us to survive and
be able to adopt our environment, which in turn helps the individual to gain his
experience quickly.

The present study is carried out in Reliance Telecom, Hyderabad, a profit


making wing of reliance communications which in turn is a wing of Anil
Dhirubhai Ambani (ADA) groups. Reliance is well known for its brand image.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In 1977,
when Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock
market was a place patronized by a small club of elite investors which dabbled
in a handful of stocks. In this study efforts have been made to evaluate the
various elements which come under the cultural aspects in Reliance Telecom.

I have selected this topic because it was very challengeable topic to go


through in-depth about all activities which are involved in culture of an
organization. The study comprises on data analysis and interpretation, where
data has been analyzed with the help of tables and presented in bar charts.

This is also includes findings from the data analysis and suggestions are
made for further improvement of the organization.

Organization culture is a composition of sharing culture, Culture helps


members of the organization to solve their and organizational problems.
Culture can be taught to newcomers, senior employs need to make them
comfortable. Culture strongly influences once behavioral aspects.

Culture is needed by all organizations which are required to be dynamic


and growth oriented. Even an organization that has reached its limit in terms of
growth needs to adapt to the changing cultural environment. No organization is
immune to the need for processes that help acquire and increase its capabilities
for stability and renewal.

Conclusion:

The project work a study on Organization Culture with reference to

Reliance Telecom, Hyderabad has helped me to learn the organization culture

and techniques followed in Reliance Telecom in order to maintain it.

From the project work it is understand that the employees of the Reliance

Telecom Ltd, Hyderabad, has positive view towards its culture and management

of Reliance Telecom, Ltd. and have partial negative opinion on the welfare

activities due to mismanagement of the infrastructure provided by the

management. The management of Reliance Telecom is not interested to

implement any new welfare activities. Though Reliance Telecom is not able to

providing welfare measures, the employees are not feeling that as a de-

motivating factor which disturbs the growth and development of the

organization.
