Organizational culture is a set of shared assumptions that guide what happens in organizations by defining appropriate behavior for various situations (Ravasi & Schultz, 2006). Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders. Also, organizational culture may influence how much employees identify with their organization (Schrodt, 2002).
According to Schein (2004), on the other hand, Organizational culture is the success guidance on the basis of various norms and values which make culture effective in gaining the organization goals. Further, Kotter et al. (1992) refers to organizational culture as the set of behavior, beliefs, values, and norms which contribute to organizational effectiveness.

DeleteA common platform where individuals work in together to earn profits as well as a livelihood for themselves is called an organization. Every organization has its unique style of working which often contributes to its culture. The beliefs, ideologies, principles and values of an organization form its culture. The culture of the workplace controls the way employees behave amongst themselves as well as with people outside the organization.
