1.2 Literature Review
2.1.Organizational culture
Culture undoubtedly is a set of rules, values, beliefs, and attitudes that influence organisational behaviour. Therefore, there are numerous definitions of organisational culture. According to Kilmann et al. [1,] organisational culture is “the shared philosophy, ideology, value, assumption, beliefs, hope, behaviour, and norms that bind the organisation together.” Robbins describes it [2] as “common perceptions held by members of an organisation; a system of common meaning,” while George and Jones [3] defined it as “informal design of values, norms that control the way people and groups within the organisation interact with each other and with parties outside the organisation” [4]. The pattern of shared values and beliefs that assists individuals in understanding organisational functioning and thus providing them with norms for organisational behaviour [4], [5].
Due to its ability to make an organisation more adaptable and better fit its surroundings, organisational culture may be a strategic asset for the company [6],[7]. Members continuously evaluate elements of their working environment, and the organisational culture informs both these interpretations and the methods in which they are put into practise [8]. Rituals, social conventions, thought patterns, and beliefs that are publicly professed are examples of cultural manifestations [9], [10], and [11].
