Introduction
Performance of an organization is dependent on the alignment of the constituent resources and the ability of the resources to adapt to the change. "Organizational culture is a system of shared values, assumptions, beliefs, and norms that unite the members of an organization. Organizational culture reflects employees' views about "the way things are done around hereâ? (Gomezâ?'Mejia & Balkin, 2002, p. 108).
Culture can be visible, something that people can see or feel or based on espoused values, or based on core beliefs. Some of the examples are an organization that adapts employee dress code, management decision to layoff employees to reduce cost, and organization culture based on innovation and creativity.
