104. What is organizational culture? Where does it come from?

Ans:Organizational culture is the set of shared values, norms, standards, and expectations that influence the way members of the organization interact and cooperate. All members can influence organizational culture, but managers are more likely to play a strong role, particularly the founder. The attraction-selection-attrition framework describes how this occurs. First, founders of organizations tend to hire people with similar personalities and values as their own. Second, similar employees are more likely to stay, and others to leave. Thus, as an organization grows, its membership becomes more similar. This is reinforced, then, by the employees themselves in new hiring and in socialization of new employees.

105. Explain the ASA Model. How does it help explain the formation of organizational cultures? Give an example.

Ans:ASA stands for attraction-selection-attrition. It proposes that when founders hire employees for their new ventures, they tend to be attracted to and choose employees whose personalities are similar to their own. These similar employees are more likely to stay with the organization. Dissimilar employees, if hired, are more likely to leave. Thus, the overall tendency is for people in the organization to have similar personalities that shape organizational culture.

106. What is socialization? How does it occur? Why is it important for organizations? Give an example of a socialization experience you have gone through or observed in your life.

Ans:Socialization is the process by which an organization influences its new members to accept its values and norms, and learn the work behaviors they need to perform effectively. When socialization is successful, new member internalize the organization's values and norms and behave consistently with them, believing that they are behaving in the right and proper way.

Socialization occurs when organizations put newcomers through a series of experiences – most commonly, training programs – that give them knowledge and skills to perform their new jobs, but also stress the values the organization wishes employees to accept. Socialization is important because it is essential to support a strong culture, which can in turn lead to effective organizational performance.

108. Explain the relationship between organizational culture, managerial action, and organizational effectiveness. Give an example of this relationship..

Ans:An organization's culture shapes and controls the behavior of all employees, including managers. Thus, it influences the way managers perform their four basic functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. If managers buy into an organization's culture, norms and values, the manager will perform her functions in a way that is consistent with other members of the organization.
