Organisational culture could be identified as the collective effect of the common beliefs, values, behaviors and norms within the organisation (Armstrong, 2009).

Further, when the employees are motivated, they will always satisfy their customers by way of offering them a better service (McKay, 2016). Additionally, a strong organisational culture is critical to organisation success. According to Whipple (2009), Organisation’s management is responsible for creating an environment that inspires and encourages employees so that they could feel that their personal motivational processes are supported and appreciated. In addition, leaders could help create positive morale and motivation in their team and in each individual, simply by creating a working culture of trust and affection.

A better understanding of organisational culture would turn the organisation into a team and decide how employees would interact within the organisation.



Consequently, when the employee’s values are corresponds with those of organisation; the employees would tend to react positively to changes in the organisational culture. Cultural changes aggravate emotional reactions thereby; the role the employee plays within the organisation. If the emotions of the employees would be acknowledged and treated with respect, then the employees would become more engaged with the organisational change. They have identified that there would be few of the elements of organisational culture which would influence the emotional responses to the organisational change of employees (Armstrong, 2009).

Conclusion

In concluding the discussion, organisational culture could be identified as a crucial factor within the organisation in order to earn a better competitive advantage. It would help the management to enhance the employee’s motivation and morale which in return, the employee performance would enhance to the top levels.
