Most of the working hours of a human being engaged in any form of productive work is spent at work amongst people with divergent personalities and backgrounds. This main staple of mentally stimulating and, thus, physically satisfying working hours of a human being, provides enthusiasm for the person to change and shape himself and the society in which he lives. He would then like to ensure that he is safe at work, more productive, and able to enlighten oneself to achieve new heights.
This is possible when the organization, like the curdling of milk to make yogurt, allows that homogenous curdling to settle down, and provides a medium to make productivity happen. It allows for a certain set of values, beliefs and principles to shape the thinking of the persons, who work in the organization, to adhere to the organization's mission and vision.The
understanding and acceptances of the importance of providing this non-tangible,
yet very powerful medium, has gained acceptance over the last two decades and
the growing importance is now felt in the last ten years or more. The medium that
facilitates this to happen is organizational culture.
