Description: Organizational culture refers to the values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape how employees interact and work within a company. This culture manifests in the way team members communicate, how decisions are made, and how conflicts are managed. A strong organizational culture can foster a positive work environment, increase job satisfaction, and improve productivity. The main characteristics of organizational culture include the company’s mission and vision, internal norms and policies, as well as leadership and management practices. Culture can be explicit, through policies and procedures, or implicit, through behaviors and attitudes that have developed over time. The relevance of organizational culture lies in its ability to influence the overall performance of the company, as a culture aligned with strategic objectives can facilitate adaptation to change and innovation, while a dysfunctional culture can hinder growth and team cohesion.
