Organizational culture is defined as a set of shared, fundamental assumptions about an organization. Beliefs about what is valued, how people should behave, and what is “normal” within an organization. These general assumptions are Formal rules (such as policies and processes) and informal rules (commonly understood expectations, standards and norms) that guide workplace behavior and define what is and is not acceptable. Organizational culture is like the personality of an organization, the set of reasons why employees at all levels of the organization behave the way they do. For example, it shows what employees should pay attention to, how they should react emotionally, and what actions they should take in different situations. Culture is born where people live and work together. Organizational culture refers to the beliefs, values, and attitudes that define an enterprise.
