CULTURE AND
ORGANISATIONSByte size learning skills course of 1 comprehensive
session
Organisational culture is an extremely difficult issue to define since
there are so many inter-relating components:
-
Power -- Who holds the legitimate
authority and who makes the decisions in the organisation? These
authority figures and decision makers may not be the same people.
-
Politics -- What types of different
relationships exist in the organisation and whose views have unofficial
influence?
-
Values and beliefs -- What do the
decision makers believe in, and how well are these values accepted by
the rest of the people in the organisation?
-
Ideologies -- What underlying
philosophies influence management style and procedures? Is there a
recognisable policy of how to deal with people?
-
Social influences -- What are the
different social pressures on behaviour?
