Parts of Organizational CulturesParts of Organizational CulturesAlthough the concept of culture has been studied extensively, the term organizational culture has only been used recently. The definition of organizational culture emphasizes the assumptions and deep patterns of meaning, values, norms and expectations, philosophies, frameworks or observable behavioral regularities as the rites, rituals, and structures (Abrahamson and Fombrun, 1994). Culture is a set of core values, beliefs and understandings that are shared by members of an organization (Smircich, 1983). Pettigrew (1979) describes organizational culture as ” the system of publicly and collectively accepted meanings operating for a given group at a given time.”

Some Organization Types• 2. A System of Organizational Values
Organizational Values are collective values that reflect individual character and a process of transformation, together representing a process (O’Brien, 1982; Thompson, 1985). These Values are used as an organizing principle for society when they are implemented to achieve a social goal (Rambold, 1972). Values are also referenced in organizational philosophies of the early 20th century by philosophers such as Joseph Kripke, John Dewey, and Jean Jacques Rousseau. While some types of culture are considered organizational values, values are often the only fundamental unit in which to define a culture’s purpose and its function (see the sections below for definitions.) These values are also used to describe and interpret some forms of social norms and practices. Values that are associated with individuals as well as organizations may reflect an individual’s individual culture. Values related to social interaction and relations of interest such as race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation may be described as cultural norms. Values also are often cited in organizational cultures such as social hierarchy, community ties and values of leadership, culture of business, and community. Values that are associated with individuals as well as organizations may point back to the founding period of organized labor such as the Industrial Revolution. Values may also be related to the history of the economy, religion, politics and society. Organizations which form the basis of a culture’s cultural ideals include organizations that reflect community values such as: •Social Hierarchy. •The organization of the U.S. in its community in a positive, cooperative manner that promotes development within the general and/or local communities. •The group structure of the government or community that represents its principles and is united with all its citizens. •A positive and shared understanding of the issues of life and the family and relationships. •Responsible management of the community in a supportive and respectful manner. •Good parenting and respectful relationships with children and family. •Supportive living conditions. •Good social and psychological functioning. •Community Values (Easter: 1970-1980) •Good leadership behavior in the community and in the workplace. •A welcoming, positive atmosphere in the workplace and home. •A balanced, friendly approach to work and family. •A community in which members understand one another better. •Respect for others when they are involved with their activities. •A team spirit and understanding of one another from a social, professional, legal or ethnic standpoint. •A spirit of social justice and collaboration. •Good support and collaboration in other communities with respect to the rights of others (e.g., social services.) •A community that is connected, respectful of other people in the work environment, and has good traditions and values that will continue to uphold them. •A community that is able to contribute to and support others in a community that is more than a collective. •A
A system of culturally-based norms and values that is social, normative, and self-reflective also forms organizational culture.
The culture, as such, may not be unique to a particular organization but is, thus, fundamentally present to it as part of an organization, an organizational institution, a core set of beliefs, and an evolving or developing group of values.
Organizational culture refers more specifically to social and/or moral norms, beliefs and beliefs, including values as opposed to normative norms. Social and moral norms are cultural constructs. Social norms may be constructed, conceived, thought and communicated or, in the case of corporate governance and financial systems, implemented. Moral norms may be defined as ethical or ethical or normative concepts or values, not only a universal and universal human understanding; they have to be understood in accordance with established ethics, ethical or normative law.
Organizational cultural constructs are often perceived as a “gift” of God or divinely imposed or administered or a “spiritual” power/obedience by the individuals within a company, group or organization. They also often express specific social and moral norms and values about society.
A cultural construct in which a person has a role or duty to others in a given society differs greatly from the conventional culture of many other cultures, including Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, or any other culture or culture that is more closely associated with religious affiliation. A culture differs from social and/or moral norms to a great extent—for example, the more recent forms of the Romanization of Christianity.
A social and moral culture that is culturally based has social norms and values, that are common in the various domains of life, but also is unique to specific culture. Organizational culture has a wide range of values and values—including values related to love, commitment, loyalty, commitment, commitment in personal life, and the fulfillment of human needs and desires..
Organizational culture, by contrast, derives its values from a cultural context in which people are encouraged to participate and to fulfill their desires more seriously than usual.
The cultural context of a particular culture may include not just a particular cultural community or a specific culture, but also a specific way of feeling, as in some cultures the desire to please another person or to do something worthwhile. For example, with respect to “acting up” and “doing the right thing,” those who are asked to perform acts of social virtue or love may be expected to honor others by providing a suitable amount of attention. Those who are encouraged to do things on condition of reciprocity and fairness will generally feel less threatened by being taken seriously or ignored the following day.

Organizational culture is found primarily in the United States:
A working definition of organizational culture is that of Schwartz and Davis (1981) who say it is “a pattern of beliefs and expectations shared by members of the organization. These beliefs and expectations produce norms that powerfully shape the behavior of individuals and groups. When V. Sathe (1983) refers to the organizations said that their culture is the general pattern of behavior, shared beliefs and values that its members have in common. For this author, organizational culture can be inferred from what employees say they do or think.
Another important element in the culture of a social organization is the vision of the leaders or leading them. Based on the ideas that leaders of the organization have on the future of the organization, including some activities exclude others, support some enterprises and personal initiatives and / or group and rejecting others. To understand the views held by the leaders of an organization, we must know the history of it, then we will have parameters that help us to compare the growth, development, progress and setbacks, changes that occurred in the organization from the ideas of its leaders. Drivers are called to sentences conceptualize the vision of the leaders of the organization, and members of the organization believe in them and work accordingly.

This author, excluding the values of things, goods or objects, and focuses on the study of human acts and moral acts only. Consider its effect on the bipolarity of affective and volitional life of man, where for all positive value, there is always a negative, as the absence or deprivation of the positive. The phenomena of choice involving the dilemma of choosing between multiple values.
