Adhering to organizational culture: what does it mean? Why does it matter?
Article Abstract:
A study of the interrelatedness of communication and corporate culture indicates that organizational culture, including values and beliefs, is communicated to individuals within the organization through thematic rules and other communication processes. The study indicates that the alignment of the thematic rules of the corporate culture with the personal values of individuals results in high employee satisfaction and high estimations of the organization. Research demonstrates that there is an interrelationship between culture and organizational communication processes. Management should involve employees in an ongoing process of identifying and developing corporate values in order to increase employee satisfaction and improve employee perceptions of the organization by identifying employee personal values and incorporating them into the organizational culture.
