Title: Organizational Culture-Implication of Changes on the Organization
Abstract: In the day’s globalization, it is highly necessary to understand and also interpret organization culture. Culture influences people in good and bad ways. Culture creates the
identity for the organization. The key characteristics of culture are Individual initiative, Risk Tolerance, Directi
on, Integration, Management Support, Control, Identity, Reward System Conflict tolerance and Communication Patterns. Organizations develop cultures made up of
values and beliefs about how people should behave. Employees associate these values and beliefs with the organization’s success and don’t need to be told what to do or what not to do to comply with the culture. Culture can be viewed as a descriptive feature of an independently
defined stable social unit. That is, if one can demonstrate that a given set of people have shared a significant number of important experiences in the process of solving external and internal problems, one can assume that such common experiences values, beliefs etc. have led them, overtime, to a shared view of the World around them and their place in it-and in the present context it is the industrial undertakings, under study. Though it is the members who
form and sustain the culture of an organization, the ownership of organization by way of public, private and MNCs have a significant role. By way of its principles and assumptions, each sector influences the culture of the organization of which it is the owner. Organization
culture has many layers with distinct externalities and many
internalities. Since the study and understanding of culture of organizations enable itself to foresee the changes, it is
imperative that they manage the changes as well. Research on organizations culture has moved beyond a purely descriptive stage and has begun to develop and test predictions. It is not only observed but also have been indicated in certain research findings that the new
employees whose core values match with the organizational values has a greater commitment for the job and also an enduring loyalty to the organization. Thus a study of the organizational culture helps the organizations to formulate policies directed towards enhanced effectiveness of human resources
