A Study on Organizational Culture at Shardlow India Ltd

Abstract

The culture of an organization is an amalgamation of the values and beliefs of the people in an organization. It can be felt in the implicit rules and expectations of behaviour in an organization. It is usually set by management whose decisions on policy reflect the culture of the organization. The culture of the organization, if it is positive and helpful can help to motivate staff or at least prevent them from becoming dissatisfied. At I.B.M., the attitude of management towards their employees is an attraction to prospective staff. If the climate does not satisfy the needs of staff, then it will probably become a demotivator, - that is, it would cause dissatisfaction and so people would become less inclined to work towards the organizational goals. This research has been conducted to study the type of culture which prevails mostly at different levels of Managerial staff, Unionized staff & Workmen in Shardlow India Limited, Chennai and give suggestions to improve the culture which is mostly suitable for different levels of personnel.
