Organizational culture refers to the shared behaviors, assumptions, and values of an organization. It includes visible elements like symbols, language, and norms as well as deeper elements like beliefs and basic assumptions. An organization's culture affects how people within the organization interact with each other and outside stakeholders. There are multiple levels of culture, from surface-level artifacts to deeper values and basic underlying assumptions. There are also different types of organizational cultures, including power cultures centered around a strong central leader, role cultures based on functions and rules, task cultures focused on goals and projects, and person cultures that prioritize individual autonomy. A company typically has a mix of these cultural types within its different areas.
