Impact of Organizational Culture on Employee Productivity and Behaviour

Abstract

Today’s work environment is undergoing a major shift due to determinants like globalization, growing advanced science, and improved technology. These factors are constantly presenting new challenges and creating new opportunities for workers. With these changes, workers perceptions concerning their jobs also change. In this grow-or-die marketplace, the success of any organization depends on its employees and the work culture. Happy and committed employees are important assets of any organization, and the economic management of human resources in smart work cultures can ultimately increase the organizations productivity as it maintains higher job satisfaction levels of the employees. One thing is common among most of them, despite the different meanings and viewpoints on organizational culture, and that is the mutual existence of values, philosophies, and norms. In essence, many argued that the role of organizational culture is to establish within the organization a feeling of ‘esprit de corps’. To this end, this study explores organizational culture as an important topic in the area of industrial and human relations management to a large degree.
