Every organization has a particular system of working and it differs from other organizations. Some organizations may follow a time consuming procedure because it is more effective while others may believe in aggrandize working. These differences can be viewed by acknowledging the minute details of the organization.

Elements of this culture can be seen in the employee attitudes and behavior. Even the dress code can sometimes deter the type of culture the organization follows. Managing a situation of crisis or conquest highly differs when we go from one organization to other.

The way one reacts to diverse circumstances also comes under the organizational culture. We can say that the organization teaches its employees the methods to combat situations.

If you change jobs and compare the organizations, you will find a drastic change in the working environment. Some organizations have stringent rules in terms of their dress code, mannerisms, policies, etiquettes, etc. and on the other hand some companies believe in giving freedom to its employees and do not emphasize on details. On the basis of the rules, the employee attitudes flicker.

Culture depends on beliefs and the beliefs vary. For example some organizations promote long working hours to augment performance while others believe that long shifts can deteriorate performance. The concept of ethics is also governed by the organizational culture. Just like culture the ethics also alter.

If the employee feels secured by a culture, then he/she can imbibe it in their daily routine and if they are not, then it becomes difficult to adapt. It is said that ‘culture is the widening of the mind and the spirit.’ It teaches a lot of things that can help one progress in their career as well as personal life.
