Organizational culture is the standard, philosophy and shared ideal of
an organization. Organizations that have competent culture are the ones that
succeed.
For an organizational culture to be pervasive; it needs to be
implemented from the top management down to the lowest ranked employee of an
organization. A good and competent Organizational Culture is very contagious
especially when it is thoroughly implemented and lived by its leaders.
For example, in the present Covid-19 pandemic many countries are
struggling to fight this pandemic. On the other hand there are also countries
such as Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Germany
Singapore, Israel, New Zealand and Japan that are able to contain the
spread of this Covid-19 pandemic. What separates them from the other countries
that are struggling to contain the spread of this pandemic notwithstanding the
draconian measures that they have instituted?
What separate these countries are the competent organizational Culture
that they’ve put in place. And who is in charge of putting in place this
competent organizational Culture? It’s their respective leaders!
A good and competent Culture also attracts the best and brightest work force. For the reason that everyone would want to work for a company that has a good organizational culture. Who would not like to work for an organization that has a competent organizational culture?
For an organizational culture to be effective, it must be inculcated
into the minds of the employees during their very first day of work. This is
normally facilitated by orientation wherein the newly hired employee is
informed about the culture and other policies of the organization. The workers
are introduced to the many guidelines of their new organization. And if
competently done it is expected that these employees would follow every rules
and regulations of their new organization.
Does your organization have a good and competent Organizational Culture? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
