Performance counts; achievement counts. To some, these may be all that count. In this day of difficult economic conditions, companies are exploring many new approaches to profitability. Within the last few years, many companies have begun to turn their attention toward organization culture. Top executives and managers both believe that successful innovation along with an organizational change in culture can lead to great success in the business world. Every organization holds their own culture. Culture is a dynamic trait for improving human factor and achievement. Organization culture has an impact on all employees which compels them to achieve their individual goals along with the organizational goals. If an organization cannot identify their culture, it is difficult for its employees to adjust their working situations within that organization. Culture is an important subject which is not common knowledge on the corporate level, but should definitely be considered. A distinctive organization culture will benefit the employee by giving them better values in belief, commitment, personal career, and so forth within a firm. This thesis is an analysis, evaluation, and a prescription for changing organization culture. The first part of this thesis will give a background of organization culture. This thesis will reveal such fundamental issues as what organization culture is, how an organization should diagnosis their culture, what types of diagnosing methods should be utilized, and certain factors that affect organization culture. Before any organization can change its culture, they must first realize how organization culture is important to their firm.
A corporation must get a feel for their organization culture in order to determine why it is necessary at the managerial level. The second portion of this thesis will give a corporation some ideas of what they can get from changing their organizational culture. The results of changing organization culture are: improving companies in a long-term growth, improvement in employee values and beliefs, and increased employee productivity. The last chapter of this thesis will give an organization various options for changing their organization culture. These options of changing organization culture can be as I have previously stated: autonomy, communication, participation, quality of work life, and training. These changes will have an effect on organizational performance in the long-run plus they will assist an organization in being a successful company. Every organization’s culture can be changed. Changing organization culture also has a substantial impact on all of the employees of such a corporation. Some employees might resist a change in their corporate culture due to the relationship between culture and change. Changing organization culture is not an easy task to undertake. It should be known that it will take a lot of time and effort on the part of every employee of an organization which is in the process of changing its culture.
