Henry Mintzberg on Culture


“Culture is the soul of the organization — the beliefs and values, and how they are manifested. I think of the structure as the skeleton, and as the flesh and blood. And culture is the soul that holds the thing together and gives it life force.”

Culture’s Functions


Social glue that helps hold an organization together


Enhances social system stability and provides appropriate standards for what employees should say or do


Boundary-defining


Conveys a sense of identity for organization members


Facilitates commitment to something larger than one’s individual self-interest


Guides and shapes the attitudes and behaviour of employees and helps them make sense of the organization

12


Decentralized Organizations & Culture


Today’s trend toward decentralized organizations makes culture more important than ever, but it also also makes establishing a strong culture more difficult.


Employees organized in teams may show greater allegiance to their team and its values than to the values of the organization as a whole.


In virtual organizations, the lack of frequent face-to-face contact makes establishing a common set of norms very difficult.


Strong leadership that communicates frequently about common goals and priorities is especially important in innovative organizations.

13


Culture Creates Climate


Organizational climate


refers to the shared perceptions organizational members have about their organization and work environment


team spirit at the organizational level


When everyone has the same general feelings about what is important or how well things are working, the effect of these attitudes will be more than the sum of the individual parts.

15


Ethical Dimension of Culture (2 of 2)


Ethical climate theory (ECT) and Ethical climate index (ECI)

Ethical climate reflects the true values of the organization and shapes the ethical decision-making of its members


Five climate categories most prevalent:


Instrumental


Caring


Independence


Law and code


Rules

16


Do Organizations Have Uniform Cultures?


Organizational culture represents a common perception held by the organization members.


Core values or dominant (primary) values are accepted throughout the organization.


Dominant culture


Expresses the core values that are shared by a majority of the organization’s members


Subcultures


Tend to develop in large organizations to reflect common problems, situations, or experiences


Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc.


10 - ‹#›


LO2; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “What is Organizational Culture?”


Most organizations have a dominant culture and numerous sets of subcultures. The first expresses the core values that are shared by a majority of members. Subcultures develop to reflect common problems, situations, or experiences that members face such as department or geographical differentiation.


17


Strong vs. Weak Cultures


Strong cultures


The organization’s core values are both intensely held and widely shared


Have a great influence on the behaviour of their members


Build cohesiveness, loyalty, and organizational commitment

How Organizational Cultures Form


Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc.


10 - ‹#›


LO3; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “Creating and Sustaining Culture?”


As with most creations, culture begins with the organization's founders, who have a major impact in establishing the early culture. They are unconstrained by previous customs, their small size usually facilitates the founders’ imposing their vision on other organization members, and they also have biases on how to get the idea fulfilled. They have a vision or mission of what the organization should be.


Get the students in the class who have some work experience to tell the “creation stories” of organizations in which they have worked and discuss how those stories fit in with the organizational culture.


20


Keeping a Culture Alive


Selection


Identify and hire individuals who will fit in with the culture


Top Management


Senior executives establish and communicate the norms of the organization


Socialization


Organizations need to teach the culture to new employees

21


A Socialization Model (1 of 2)


Prearrival stage


Explicitly recognizes that each individual arrives with a set of values, attitudes, and expectations about both the work to be done and the organization


Encounter Stage


Confronts the possibility that expectations—of the job, co-workers, and the organization in general—may differ from reality.


Metamorphosis Stage


The new employee changes or goes through the metamorphosis stage. Outcomes: Productivity, Commitment, Turnover

A Socialization Model (2 of 2)


Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc.


10 - ‹#›


LO4; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “Creating and Sustaining Culture?”


Socialization can be conceptualized as a process composed of three stages:


Pre-arrival: This first stage encompasses all the learning that occurs before a new member joins the organization.


Encounter: In this second stage, the new employee sees what the organization is really like and confronts the possibility that expectations and reality may diverge.


Metamorphosis: In this third stage, relatively long-lasting changes take place. The new employee masters the skills required for his or her job, successfully performs his or her new roles, and makes the adjustments to his or her work group’s values and norms.


This three-stage process has an impact on the new employee’s work productivity, commitment to the organization’s objectives, and eventual decision to stay with the organization. The exhibit depicts this process.


23


Entry Socialization Options (1 of 2)


Formal vs. Informal


Individual vs. Collective


Fixed vs. Variable


Serial vs. Random


Investiture vs. Divestiture


Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc.


10 - ‹#›


LO4; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “Creating and Sustaining Culture?”


Note: This is an introductory slide. The next slide provides the Exhibit on this concept as speaking notes.


Formal vs. Informal: The more a new employee is segregated from the ongoing work setting and differentiated in some way to make explicit his or her role as newcomer, the more formal socialization is.


Individual vs. Collective: New members can be socialized individually. This describes how it’s done in many professional offices. They can also be grouped together and processed through an identical set of experiences, as in military boot camp.


Fixed vs. Variable: This refers to the time schedule in which newcomers make the transition from outsider to insider. A fixed schedule establishes standardized stages of transition. Variable schedules give no advanced notice of their transition timetable. Variable schedules describe the typical promotion system, where one is not advanced to the next stage until he or she is “ready.”


Serial vs. Random: Serial socialization is characterized by the use of role models who train and encourage the newcomer. Apprenticeship and mentoring programs are examples. In random socialization, role models are deliberately withheld. The new employee is left on his or her own to figure things out.


Investiture vs. Divestiture: Investiture socialization assumes that the newcomer’s qualities and qualifications are the necessary ingredients for job success, so these qualities and qualifications are confirmed and supported. Divestiture socialization tries to strip away certain characteristics of the recruit. Fraternity and sorority “pledges” go through divestiture socialization to shape them into the proper role.

The Liabilities of Organizational Culture


Culture can have dysfunctional aspects in some instances.


Barrier to Change


When organization is undergoing change, culture may impede change


Barrier to Diversity


Strong cultures put considerable pressure on employees to conform


Barrier to Mergers and Acquisitions


Merging the cultures of two organizations can be difficult, if not impossible


Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc.


10 - ‹#›


LO5; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “The Liabilities of Organizational Culture”


Culture as a liability occurs when the shared values are not in agreement with those that will further the organization's effectiveness. This occurs when the environment is dynamic, and the entrenched culture may no longer be appropriate.


The culture at Enron became a liability as individuals put more and more effort into pretending that everything was going well.


26


Strategies for Merging Cultures


Assimilation


The entire new organization is determined to take on the culture of one of the merging organizations


Separation


Organizations remain separate and cultures are maintained


Integration


A new hybrid culture is formed

27


Changing Organizational Culture (1 of 2)


Trying to change the culture of an organization is quite difficult and requires that many aspects of the organization change at the same time, especially the reward structure.


Culture is such a challenge to change because it often represents the established mindset of employees and managers.

28


Changing Organizational Culture (2 of 2)


Change is most likely when most or all of the following conditions exist:


A dramatic crisis


Turnover in leadership


Young and small organizations


Weak culture

29


Creating an Ethical Culture (1 of 2)


Be a visible role model


Employees will look to the actions of top management as a benchmark for appropriate behaviour


Communicate ethical expectations


Minimize ethical ambiguities by creating and disseminating an organizational code of ethics


Provide ethics training


Set up seminars, workshops, and similar ethics training programs

LO6; Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “Changing Organizational Culture.”


30


Creating an Ethical Culture (2 of 2)


Visibly reward ethical acts and punish unethical ones


Include in managers’ performance appraisals a point-by-point evaluation of how their decisions measured against the organization’s code of ethics


Provide protective mechanisms


Provide formal mechanisms so employees can discuss ethical dilemmas and report unethical behaviour without fear of reprimand

31


Creating a Positive Organizational Culture


Building on employee strengths


Rewarding more than punishing


Emphasizing vitality and growth


Limits of positive culture

32


Global Implications


Organizational cultures often reflect national culture.


When an organization opens up operations in another country, it ignores the local culture at its own risk.


Management of ethical behaviour is one area where national culture can rub up against corporate culture.


Many strategies for improving ethical behaviour are based on the values and beliefs of the host country.

Culture can have both positive and negative effects on organizations.


Organizational culture can make change difficult, if not impossible.

What are the functional effects of organizational culture on people and the organization?


What factors create and sustain an organization’s culture?


How is culture transmitted to employees?


How can an ethical organizational culture be created?


What is a positive organizational culture?

35


OB at Work: For Managers (1 of 2)


Realize that an organization’s culture is relatively fixed in the short term. To effect change, involve top management and strategize a long-term plan.


Hire individuals whose values align with those of the organization; these employees will tend to remain committed and satisfied. Not surprisingly, “misfits” have considerably higher turnover rates.

36


OB at Work: For Managers (2 of 2)


Understand that employees’ performance and socialization depend to a considerable degree on their knowing what to do and not do. Train your employees well and keep them informed of changes to their job roles.


Be aware that your company’s organizational culture may not be “transportable” to other countries. Understand the cultural relevance of your organization’s norms before introducing new plans or initiatives overseas.

Breakout Group Exercises


Form small groups to discuss the following:


Choose two courses that you are taking this term, ideally in different faculties, and describe the culture of the classroom in each. What are the similarities and differences? What values about learning might you infer from your observations of culture?


Identify artifacts of culture in your current or previous workplace. From these artifacts, would you conclude that the organization had a strong or weak culture?


Have you or has someone you know worked somewhere where the culture was strong? What was your reaction to that strong culture? Did you like that environment, or would you prefer to work where there is a weaker culture? Why?
