THE 5 FUNCTIONS OF ORGANISATION
CULTURE
Boundary Defining Role – Create Distinction between
the organisations.
Conveying sense of Identity to members of
Organisation
Facilitate Commitment to something larger than
individual self interest
Enhances the Stability of Social System
Serves as a sense-making and control mechanism that
guides and shapes employees’ attitude and behaviour.
FUNCTIONS CONTD.
A Strong Culture supported by formal rules and regulations ensures that
employees act in a relatively uniform and predictable way.
When formal authority and control systems are reduced through
decentralisation, culture’s shared meaning can point everyone to the
same direction.
The organisations nowadays try to find employees who can fit into the
organisation culture.
EXAMPLE:
Disney theme park employees appear almost universally attractive,
clean, and wholesome with bright smiles.
The company selects only those employees who will maintain that
image.
All the rewards, promotions, job offers, etc. are strongly influenced by
the organisational culture.
CULTURE CREATES CLIMATE
Organisation Climate refers to the shared perceptions that
member of the organisation have about the organisation and
the work environment.
These perceptions are directed at the policies, practices, and
procedures experienced by the employees.
The organisation climate may either:
Inspire the member or
May even demotivate that person.
Example:
Someone who encounters a positive climate for diversity will
feel more comfortable collaborating with co-workers
regardless of their demographic background.
