ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE V/S

 NATIONAL CULTURE 

National cultural values are learned early, held deeply andchange slowly over the course of generations.

Organizational culture, on the other hand, is comprised of broad guidelines which are rooted in organizational practices.

A nations culture is similar to that of an organization as it iscomprised of the symbols, values, rituals, and traditions of thepeople living in a particular region.

Cultures usually differ in relationships between the individualand society, ways of dealing with conflict, relationships to

authority, and conceptions of class and gender. All of thesethings are comparable to organizational culture, just on agrander scale.

 SOCIALIZATION

New employees are not familiar with theorganizational culture and are potentially likely todisturb the existing culture.

The process through which the employees areproselytized about the customs and traditions of 

the organization is known as socialization.

It is the process of adaptation by which new

employees are to understand the basic valuesand norms for becoming accepted members of the organization.

Socialization is a process made up of three stages:

Pre-arrival - All the learning occurring before a newmember joins.

Encounter - The new employee sees what the organization

is really like and confronts the possibility that expectationsand reality maydiverge.

Metamorphosis - The relatively long-lasting changes takeplace. The new employee masters the skills required for the

 job, successfullyperforms the new roles, and makes theadjustments to the work groups values andnorms.
