“Organizational culture dictates the parameters and the philosophies, ideologies, assumptions, values, beliefs, expectations, and norms that bind an organization and its employees together.”
“These values, norms, ideologies, assumption, and beliefs are also shared by its employees and dictate their social interaction.”
It is the framework within which behavior of the employees take place. These norms and values are guidelines how employees should behave within the organization and their code of conduct outside the organization. Further, it dictates the way the employees should socially interact with each other.
The social interaction is based on the core values, beliefs, and norms of the organization and some other factors discussed as follows:
1. Job-related interaction or groups are made based on the type of work, level in the organizational hierarchy, organizational structure (flat matrix or levels), and physical proximity to one another sometimes encourage the employees to align with each other.
2. Some social interactions are based on nonjob-related conditions such as cultural diversity, sex, socioeconomics, and race, primarily due to a person’s background.
3. Some interactions are based on legal, moral and economic reasons.
4. The social culture and interaction are also based on an individual’s work ethic and his level of loyalty to the organization.
To sum it up each organization has to develop a social equilibrium and define ways to build its organizational culture by having a right level of employee interaction to maximize employee performance and ensure job satisfaction.?
