Organizational Culture and ethical behavior
OC- shared norms/values
Organizational values
  • terminal values- desired end state/outcome
  • instrumental value - desired behavior
employees learn org values and norms through 
  • org rites and ceremonies 
  • formal socialization 
  • org language (how people speak and dress and act)
  • signs, symbols, stories- rites of passage(retirement party), integration(office parties), enhancement(award dinners)
Where Culture of O comes from
  • O's ethics- societal, professional, individual 
  • characteristics of people in O- asa
  • nature of employment- ESOP - employee stock ownership - work harder bc see more of return- have equity in O
  • design of org structure (mechanistic [tall, centralized, standard] v organic [flat, decentral]) (adaptive [FTW to motivate] v inert (fail to motivate w/ values) 
strong, adaptive companies have
  1. bias for action :encourage creative
  2. nature of O's mission : stick to business you know, have close relations w/ C
  3. how it operates: motivate emps, balance in centralization.
