This document discusses organizational culture. It begins by defining culture and organizational culture. Organizational culture is the set of shared values, norms, beliefs, and understandings within an organization. It is taught to new members and influences how people think and behave in the organization. Subcultures can also exist within different departments of an organization. Organizational culture emerges from the values and ideas of founders and early leaders. It is reinforced over time through socialization, selection criteria, and management actions. Organizational culture influences internal integration, adaptation, decision-making, and provides an overall identity for the organization. Leaders play a key role in shaping the culture and ethical values of an organization through both formal systems and their own behavior
