Introduction
Organizational culture is the collective behavior of people that are part of an organization, it
is also formed by the organization values, visions, norms, working language, systems, and
symbols, it includes beliefs and habits it is also the pattern of such collective behaviors and
assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of perceiving, and even
thinking and feeling. Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with
each other, with clients and with stakeholders
When people join an organization, they bring with them the values and beliefs that they have
been taught. Quite often, however these values and beliefs are insufficient for helping the
individual succeed in the organization. The person needs to learn how the particular
enterprise does things.
A dominant culture is a set of core values shared by a majority of the organizations members.
The values that create dominant cultures in organizations help guide the day-to-day behavior
of the employees. Important, but often overlooked, are the subcultures in an organization. A
subculture is a set of values shared by minority, experiences that are shared by members of a
department or unit. Subcultures can weaken and undermine an organization if they are in
conflict with the dominant culture and overall objectives. Successful firms, however find that
this is not the case always. Most subcultures are formed to help the members of a particular
group deal with the specific day-to-day problems with they are confronted. The members
may also support many, if not all, of the core values of the dominant culture.
Primary objective:
To assess the organizational culture at JSW Tornagallu, and the employees attitudes
towards the organization
Secondary objectives:
People are affected by the culture in which they live. Similarly, an individual working
for any organization with a firmly established culture will be taught the values, beliefs, and
expected behaviors of that organization. There is at least some sound evidence that variations
in cultural values may have a significant impact on employee turnover and possibly
employees job performance. Hence the study of organizational culture is important and
practice of organizational behavior
To understand the cause of the performance problems and create better work
environment
To understand how to assess the effectiveness of motivational practices in
organization
To focus on todays turbulent, often chaotic environment, commercial success
depends on employees making use of their talents in full
The management can enhance the professional perception of the employees
Can change the negative behaviour pattern of the problems
Research design
The researcher makes a plan of his/her study before undertaking the research work. This will
enable to save time and resources. Such a plan of study is called a research design (strategy).
Thus, a research design is a plan for the collection and analysis of data. It presents a series of
guide posts to enable the researcher to progress in the right direction in order to achieve the
goal. The design may be a specific presentation of the various steps in the research process.
These steps include the selection of a research problem, presentation of the problem,
formulation of hypothesis, conceptual clarity, and methodology, survey of literature and
documentation, bibliography, data collection, testing of the hypothesis, interpretation,
presentation and report writing.
Generally, a common research design possesses the five basic elements they are;
i) Selection of problem,
ii) Methodology,
iii) Data gathering ,
iv) Data analysis and
v) Report writing.
The research design asks, what approach to the problem should be taken, what methods will
be used, what strategies will be effective? Etc. identification, selection and formulation of a
research problem may be considered as planning stage of a research and the remaining
activities refer to the designs, operation, and completion of the research study.
Zikmund (2007): Research design is a master plan specifying the methods and procedures
for collecting and analyzing the needed information.
i. Selection of problem
ii. Methodology
iii. Data gathering
iv. Data analysis
v. Report writing
To control variance
3) Validity: This refers to the ability of a scale to measure what it is supposed to measure.
An exploratory research is defined as a study undertaken in areas where very little prior
knowledge or information is available on the subject under investigation. It is thus the initial
research conducted to study and define the nature of a problem. An exploratory study is
undertaken when we do not know much about the situation at hand. In such cases, extensive
preliminary work needs to be dome to gain familiarity with the phenomenon the situation.
Descriptive research describes phenomena as they exist. Such studies involve the systematic
collection and presentation of data to give a clear picture of a particular situation. These
studies attempt to obtain a complete and accurate of situation. These studies can be classified
in the following five categories: (a) historical, (b) descriptive, (c) developmental, (d) survey,
and (e) case studies.
Historical Research:
Historical research is concerned with past phenomena. It can be defined as the systematic
and objective location, evaluation, and synthesis of evidence in order to establish facts and
draw conclusions about past events. Historical research is thus a process of collection,
evaluating, verifying, and synthesizing past evidence systematically and objectively to reach
a conclusion.
Descriptive Research:
Descriptive research is a fact- finding operation searching for adequate information; it is a
type of study, which is generally conducted to assess the opinions, behaviors, or
characteristics of a given population and to describe the situation and events occurring at
present. Descriptive research is a process of accumulating facts. It does not necessarily seek
to explain relationships, test hypotheses, make predictions or get at meanings and
implications of a study. Descriptive research can either quantitative or qualitative. This
research involves gathering data that describes events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts,
and describes the data collection. Descriptive statics is used to reduce the data to manageable
form.
Developmental Research:
Developmental research is conducted for the purpose of predicting future trends. It
concentrates on the study of variables, their rates of change, directions, sequences and other
inter-related factors over a period of time. Developmental research focused on the study of
variables and their development over a period of months or years. It asks, What are the
patterns of growth, their rates, their directions, their sequences, and the interrelated factors
affecting these characteristics?
Survey Research:
A comparative study attempts to establish causes for certain problem. This is done by
comparing two or more groups of situation or variables. Comparative studies can be
classified into two categories: co relational and causal-comparative research.
Correlation Research:
Correlation research is used to obtain descriptions of phenomena. This technique is used to
ascertain the extent to which two variables are related. In a correlational relationship,
changed in one variable accompany changes in another, but the proper tests have not been
conducted to show that either variable actually influences the other. Thus, all that is known is
that a relationship between them exists. When changes in one variable tend to be
accompanied by specific changes in another, two variables are said to covary.
Causal-Comparative Research:
Studies that establish causal relationships between variables may be termed explanatory
studies. This research investigates the possible causes affecting a particular situation by
observing existing consequences and searching for the possible factors leading to these
results. The emphasis is thus on studying a situation or problem in order to explain the
relationships between two variables. This research is also known as ex post facto (Latin for
after the fact) research. This is because both the effect and the alleged causes have already
occurred and must be studied in retrospect.
Research Methodology
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.
It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a
branch of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical
model, phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques.
2. "The systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a
discipline";
Variable:
A variable is a measurable characteristic that varies. It may changes from group to group,
person to person, or even within one person over time.
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is varied or manipulated by the
researcher, and the dependent variable is the response that is measured.
An independent variable is the presumed cause; whereas the dependent variable is the
presumed effect.
The independent variable is the antecedent, whereas the dependent variable is the consequent.
Population/sampling unit:
A population can be defined as including all people or items with the characteristics one wish
to understand. Because there is very rarely enough time or money to gather information from
everyone or everything in a population, the goal becomes finding a representative sample of
that population.
Sample size:
The sample size is 75 who are the employees of JSW, are chosen randomly.
Sampling:
Sampling methods:
Probability Sampling
In probability sampling it is possible to both determine which sampling units belong to which
sample and the probability that each sample will be selected. The following sampling
methods,
Cluster sampling (all in When population groups are separated and access to
limited groups) all is difficult, eg. in many distant cities.
Non-probability Sampling
The following sampling methods that are listed in your text are types of non-probability
sampling that should be avoided:
1. volunteer samples
2. Haphazard (convenience) samples.
Since such non-probability sampling methods are based on human choice rather than random
selection, statistical theory cannot explain how they might behave and potential sources of
bias are rampant. In your textbook, the two types of non-probability samples listed above
are called "sampling disasters."
Simple random sampling method is adopted in the study and respondents are randomly
selected to collect opinions from them.
Data:
Information in raw or unorganized form such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols that refers
to, or represents, conditions, ideas or objects
Primary data:
Data collected by the investigator himself/ herself for a specific purpose.
Interviewing:
It involves face to face conversation between the investigator and the respondent
Survey:
The main area of the survey research includes any measurement, procedures that involves
asking questions of respondents
Experimentation:
Simulation:
Projective technique:
It involves drawing the inferences on the characteristics of respondents with the presences of
stimuli
Questionnaire:
It is research instrument consisting of a series of question and other prompts for the purpose
of gathering information from respondents
Secondary data:
Data collected by someone else for some other purpose but being utilized by the investigator
for another purpose.
Eg: census data being used to analyze the impact of education on career choice and earning.
Primary sources:
The information is obtained through questionnaires, interviews, with respondents and
employer discussions the primary data is collected and gathers for specific purpose
Secondary sources:
a) Wikipedia
b) Related information from internet
c) library
d) Company magazines
e) Company websites
f) Text books
g) Biography
h) Criticism of works of literature, art music
i) Review articles and critical analysis essays
Literature review
Organizational culture can be stated as a form of organizational analysis borrowed from the
field of anthropology. Till date, no single universally accepted definition exists; however, the
term organizational culture generally is accepted as referring to the shared meanings, beliefs,
and understandings held by a particular group or organization about its problems, practices,
and goals.
Organizational culture is often taken in conjunction with climate, ideology, and style that
makes the concept much confusing. Organizational culture can be described as the accepted
and patterned ways of behavior of a given people (overt organizational behavior), body of
common understandings (group and organizational norms) and an organization's way of
thinking feeling and acting (ideology and philosophy).
The study of Organizational Culture and Organizational Learning is of recent origin and is
getting prominence day by day. A strong culture makes the Organization improve its
efficiency by increasing the competitive edge. While talking about Organizational Culture, it
becomes mandatory to understand what 'Culture' as the term actually means. Culture, while
on the one end is described as the set of values and beliefs, on the other it is described as set
of symbols, ceremonies and myths that communicate the underlying values and beliefs of the
organization to its employees. Culture persists and is changed or maintained by virtue of its
continual creation through the interaction of organizational members, their shared
interpretations and the significance they attach to what occurs. Culture - being an intangible
force directs the cultural values that make organizations special.
Culture plays several important roles in organizations. On one hand, it provides a sense of
identity while on the other; it generates commitment to the organizations' mission. It also
clarifies and reinforces standards of behavior.
There is no gain saying that corporate culture influences organizations' performance. Keeping
this in view, it is worth studying culture in organizations such as professional education
institutions and its association with policies and performance. 'Cultural audits' are taken,
these days, by organizations to match culture with future strategies so as to manage or change
the culture in consonance. However, the study of culture is not an easy nut to crack, rather it
demands empirically acquired knowledge followed by critical reviews
There are almost as many definitions and understandings of culture as people writing about
it.124 At such a time when different people talk about culture, they may or may not mean the
same thing. Some find their definitions rooted in the anthropological bases of rather isolated
societies; to others it is the functional aspect that appeals most to shape culture for the best
results. They see culture acting as a control mechanism in creating organizational
commitment, achieving integrations, or in adapting to external changes.
The origin of the concept of culture is rooted in the study of anthropology. Anthropologist
associated culture as their foundation stone and the most central problem of all social
sciences. Later, culture got prominence in the areas of management and organizational
behavior. Prior to that, it also received attention in the fields of sociology and social
psychology.
Although culture has been the focal area of studies in anthropology, sociology, organizational
theories, and management, but the connotation it had, was not always the same. Different
concepts, assumptions and interests made these connotations dissimilar. Diverse opinions,
predominantly affected the description of the theoretical base of culture in terms of its
composition, impact and applications.
Anthropologists looked at culture through following two approaches. While the first referred
generally to Taylor's 'Complex Whole130 comprising everything culture contains, the other
referred to the specific aspects of culture, such as, beliefs, myths, rites or artifacts.
Anthropologists took five major approaches to study culture. These included cultural
Contrary to that, the sociologists based their study on the macro perspective by taking less
homogeneous or less monolithic view of the culture. They resorted to More heterogeneous
and pluralistic view of culture taking sub groups - e.g. teenagers, environmentalist etc. of the
society into account. According to Lipp- a sociologist, "Culture may be thought of as a loose
association of ideas as different themes, as different values, and as configurations of actions."
In that way it can be said that different meanings were attributed to the term culture and it
was differently perceived by not only anthropologists and sociologists but also by managerial
and organizational theorists whose views on culture are covered in the following section.
On the basis of the above classification, she discusses the following three broad perspective
of culture that can be differentiated in the management literature as:
1. A holistic perspective
2. A variable perspective
3. A cognitive perspective.
The holistic perspective looks into culture as a one unified whole integrating cognitive,
emotive, and behavioral and artifact related aspects of culture. It defines corporate culture as
a general constellation of beliefs, mores, customs, values systems, behavioral norms, and way
of doing businesses that are unique to each corporation and captures well and multifaceted
nature of culture.
The variable perspective takes into focus expressions- that may take the form of verbal and
physical behaviors or practices, of artifacts, and of their underlying meanings. Culture is
defined as "the way we do things" or as manifestation of behavior. It is considered important
to infer apparently shared meanings from the study of culturally expressive activities,
behaviors and material artifacts.
The cognitive perspective emphasizes on ideas, concepts, blue prints, beliefs, values or
norms forming the core of culture. Culture, here, refers to what humans learn, what they have
in their mind and not what they do or make. The knowledge secured thus provides standards
for deciding what to do and how to do things. Schein's view of organizational culture
conforms to this perspective that defines organizational culture as.
"The pattern of basic assumptions that a given group has invented, discovered or developed
in learning to cope with its problem of external adaptation and internal integration, and that
have worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members
as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems ".
These three perspectives present three different emphases or orientations; however, with no
clear-cut boundaries but overlaps.
The present study that is based on the instrument of Professor Pankaj Kumar looks at
organization culture having following dimensions:
A Humanistic/Helpful Culture:
This characterizes organizations that are managed in a participative and personal centered
way. Members are expected to be supportive, constructive, and open in their dealings with
one another.
An Affiliative Culture:
An Approval Culture
It describes organizations in which conflicts are avoided and interpersonal relationships are
present at least superficially. Members feel that they should agree with, gain the approval of,
and are liked by others.
A Conventional Culture
A Dependent Culture
An Avoidance Culture
It characterizes organizations that fail to reward success but nevertheless punish mistakes.
This neglecting reward system leads members to shift their responsibilities to others and
avoid any possibility of being blamed for a mistake.
An Oppositional Culture
A Power Culture
A Competitive Culture
It is one in which winning is valued and members are rewarded for out performing one
another. People in such organizations operate in a "win-lose" framework and believe they
must work against (rather than with) their peers to be noticed.
An Achievement Culture
It characterizes organizations that do things well and value members who set and accomplish
their goals. Members of these organizations set challenging but realistic goals, establish plans
to reach these goals and pursue them with enthusiasm.
A Self-Actualization Culture
It characterizes organization that value creativity, quality over quantity and both task
accomplishment and individual growth. Members of these organizations are encouraged to
gain enjoyment from their work, develop themselves and take on new and interesting
activities.
In another approach- according to Jerald Greenberg & Robert Baron- the System for
categorizing varieties of Organizational Culture is known as Double S Cube.
According to Double S Cube concept, Organizational Culture is characterized along
the two independent dimensions; both of these dimensions begin with the letter S- i.e.
Sociability and Solidarity. This cube identifies four types of Organizational Culture.
The two types of dimensions when combined make up four types of Organizational Culture
having both positive as well as negative qualities.
This dimension pertains to a measure of friendliness among members within the organization.
The new employees in the organization learn through socialization and a positive high
magnitude here makes organization a closely knitted team of individuals where they work in
highly cohesive teams. The positive side with high sociability dimension indicates that the
employees are friendly and creative. They work in teams to share information and welcome
new ideas. On the other hand, the employees lying on the lower side of the dimension are
interpreted as loners that do not like mixing up with others.
In contrast to the above, the employees in the high sociability dimension can instigate
workers to form informal groups, which can adversely affect organizational effectiveness.
This dimension focuses on the extent to which coworkers share a common understanding of
their organizations' tasks and goals The higher side indicates that the people work together in
order to accomplish an agreed upon task, while the lower side indicates that groups do not
have shared interests. The people lying farther on the positive side exhibit high solidarity, and
work in a coordinated way to accomplish a great deal of task. The people lying on the
negative side in this dimension can hurt the feelings of the new comers because the new
comers are not considered part of the team.
The four types of organizational cultures that originate from these two
dimensions are:
1. Networked Culture- In this type of culture people is highly sociable but low in
solidarity.
Artifacts
Values
Basic Assumptions
Here, it becomes important to discuss these terms to gain better understanding of the term
organizational culture. The descriptions can be lucidly made in the following terms:
ARTIFACTS: These are symbols of culture, which exist in the physical and social
framework environment. The artifacts of culture are personal enactment, ceremonies and
rites, stories, rituals and symbols.
Relatively elaborate sets of activities that are enacted time and again on important occasions
are known as organizational ceremonies and rites138. It is believed that the ceremonies and
rites reward and recognize those employees whose behavior is in harmony (congruent) with
the organizations' value.
Stories:
Stories are the most effective way to strengthen organizational values. Stories give a
reflection about the organizations. The stories about boss, the stories about company deals
etc, give positive or vice versa feedbacks to the listeners.
Rituals:
Rituals are the organizational practices that are always done in the fixed time and in the same
way in the organizations.
Symbols:
VALUES:
Values are the second major ingredient that pertains to the deeper level of culture. Values
guide and tell an individual what they ought to do or what they ought not in various
situations. As artifacts, values are not clearly visible. They are hard to be seen by a new
comer, but can be very well learned and discovered. They reflect a person's underlying beliefs
of what should be and or should not be. Values are often consciously articulated, in
conversation or/and in a company's mission statement or/and in annual reports. However,
there may be a difference between a company's espoused values (what the members claim)
and its enacted values (values reflected in a way the members actually behave).
The Organizational Culture is derived from National Culture. The beliefs and values that are
practiced in the Organizations are a derived part of national culture from the host country;
still the organizations have their own unique culture. The shared values and beliefs in one
organization are not necessarily the same in the other organization. This is because- though
the organizational culture is derived from the national culture, in general, but in an
organization, it is further derived from the particular characteristic and experience unique to
that organization. In the context of globalization, an organization derives the culture from the
other nations too. The global environment and the concept of global village have brought
tremendous changes in the organization culture and learning.
It has brought about a vast change in the culture and learning of the organizations that with
this change the study of organization culture and learning has gained unprecedented weight.
The role of the study of organizational culture and learning cannot be overlooked because of
the changes occurring in the organizational world. The increasing rate of change in the
environment has improved the role of organization in the modern world. Here, it becomes
necessary to look into the Definitions once more keeping in view the foreign impact The
concept of Organizational Culture has received increasing attention in recent years both from
academicians and practitioners. Organizational Culture has been defined in various ways. NK
Singh and Omita Paul in their book "Work Culture in India" have defined work culture as the
"prevalent and common patterns of feeling and behavior in an Organization".
INTRODUCTION TO HRM
Organizations in their functional aspect are treated comprehensively under the wide,
architectonic rubric / discipline of Human Resource Management. Simply put, human
resource management is a management function that focuses on the people dimension to/
of organizations.
As organizations get larger and sophisticated and processes more complex, it gets
increasingly difficult to coordinate specializations at various policy and operating levels. The
HR department performs the vital task of weaving sectional and individual interests and
practices into the matrix of group functioning, that is the organization. Organizations had
hitherto looked at the "Personnel Department," for management of paperwork involving
hiring and paying people. More recently, organizations consider the human resource
department better suited for the task. HRM plays a significant part in both regulatory and
policy planning functions.
HRM covers myriad functions such as the specific and defined areas of planning and control,
resource allocation, conflict resolution and settlement of legal claims, to recount a few. HRM
function has evolved so much so that the HRM tag could eve be held misleading (Mahoney,
1994), as HRM is not limited anymore to securing 'person power'. Human resource
management entails advising, implementing and organising change, which are identified as
the three important requisites of sound HRM practice.
HR management today involves more than just the management of the HR function. It
extends into areas such as compensation benefits, staffing, HR forecasting, succession
planning, management and executive development, performance management, employee
relations, organization development, total quality management, needs analysis, instructional
design and development training programmed evaluation, return on investment (ROI), impact
studies to name a few(Mazarrese, 1994).
Human resource management is therefore understood as the all significant art and science of
managing people in an organization. Its significance lies in the fact that physical and
monetary resources cannot and do not sustain increased rates of return on investments, unless
complemented and supplemented effectively by good human resource practices which reflect
in best standards of productivity and service delivery. Increasing research output in
behavioral sciences, new trends in managing knowledge workers and advances in training
methodology and practices have led to substantial expansion of the scope of human resource
management function in recent years, besides adding to its understanding as a theoretical area
of enquiry.
Use of the word management is significant here. It is new public management informing
management ethic today. Consequently, administration is used to denote more routine
coordination functions while management is perceived as the active or the potent functional
aspect of an enterprise; more pertinently, the art and science of getting things done (Simon,
1957). Significantly, management function is universal in public and private organizations
(Fayol, 1959).
HRM is not just an arena of personnel administration anymore but rather a central and
pervasive general management function involving specialized staff as assistants to main line
managers.
Anthropologist Symington has defined culture as, that complex whole which includes
knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, customs, and capabilities and habits acquired by a man as
a member of society.
The Indian perspective of culture is given by Sinha suggests that Culture consists of totality
of assumptions, beliefs, values, social systems and institutions, physical artifacts and
behavior of people, reflecting their desire to maintain continuity as well as to adapt to
external demands.
The collection of relatively uniform and enduring values, beliefs, customs, traditions and
practices that are shared by an organizations members, learned by the new recruits and
transmitted from one generation to the next generation.
- Edgar Schein.
.the elements that define a healthy work environment [include] collegiality and sharing;
recognizing employees contributions, having policies that are based on trust, doing what we
say we will do both individually and as an organization, [and] encouraging employees to have
a balance of life.
-Beyond the talk: Achieving a healthy & productive work environment, 1999
Work Culture:
Work Culture plays an important role in extracting the best out of the employees and making
them stick to the organization for a longer duration. The organization must offer a positive
ambience to the employees for them to concentrate on their work rather than interfering in
each others work.
It is the work culture which decides the way employees interact with each other and how an
organization functions. In laymans language work culture refers to the mentality of
employees which further decide the ambience of the organization. Any organization is said to
have a strong work culture when the employees follow the organizations rules and
regulations and adhere to the existing guidelines. However there are certain organizations
where employees are reluctant to follow the instructions and are made to work only by strict
procedures. Such organizations have a weak culture.
One must respect his fellow worker. Backbiting is considered strictly unprofessional and
must be avoided for a healthy work culture. One gains nothing out of conflicts and nasty
politics at work.
Partiality leads to de-motivated employees and unhealthy work culture. Employees should be
judged only by their work and nothing else. Personal relationships should take a backseat at
the workplace. Dont favour anyone just because he is your relative.
Praise the employees to expect good work from then every time. Give them a pat on their
back. Let them feel indispensible for their organization. Dont criticized the ones who have
not performed well, instead ask them to pull up their socks for the next time. Give them one
more opportunity rather than firing them immediately.
Employees must discuss issues among themselves to reach to better conclusions. Each one
should have the liberty to express his views. The team leaders and managers must interact
with the subordinates frequently. Transparency is essential at all levels for better relationships
among employees and a healthy work culture.
Expecting an employee to work till late night is simply impractical. Rules and regulations
should be made to benefit the employees. Employees must maintain the decorum of the
organization. Discipline is important at the workplace.
Bosses should be more like mentors to the employees. The team leaders should be a source
of inspiration for the subordinates. The superiors are expected to provide a sense of direction
to the employees and guide them whenever needed.
Conduct training programs, workshops, seminars and presentations to upgrade the existing
skills of the employee. Prepare them for the tough times. They should be ready under any odd
circumstances or change in the work culture.

Work culture can be broadly defined as how employees describe their working environment.
While some cultures will be defined naturally based on a small business owners leadership
style or industry type, a lot of it will also be determined by the employees you hire and the
office tone that management sets. How you implement your unique business culture in day-
to-day operations can help to attract and retain talent while ultimately contributing to your
business standards. Like varied personalities, there are various types of organizational
cultures that function by adhering to a stipulated method of working, best suited to their core
business.
The diverse organizational cultures that mold the structure of a business are as
follows:
are known for mentoring and cultivating employees career growth over the long haul.
On the downside, due to a family-like environment, employers may be more hesitant
to let underperforming employees go. Keeping these types of employees around could
have a negative impact on work output and office morale.
Academy culture: In this kind of culture, employees are highly skilled, and the
organization provides an environment for the development, and honing of employee
skills. Examples of this kind of cultures are hospitals, universities, and large
corporations. Employees tend to stay with the organization, and grow with (in) it.
Baseball team culture: In this kind of culture, the employees are free agents,
and are highly prized. These employees find employment easily in any organization,
and are highly in demand. There is, however, a considerable amount of risk attached
to this culture, as it is very fast-paced. Examples of this kind of culture are
advertising, and investment banking, to name a few.
Club culture: Usually, the employees stay with the organization for a long time,
and get promoted to a senior port, or level. These employees are hand-picked, and it is
imperative that they possess the specific skills required and desired, by the
organization. Examples of this kind of organization are law firms, the military, etc.
Fortress culture: Employees are not sure if the will be laid off or not by the
organization. Very often, this organization undergoes massive changes. Few examples
of this type of culture are loans and savings, large car companies etc.
Macho culture: The most important aspect of this kind of culture is big rewards,
and quick feedback. This kind of culture is mostly associated with quick financial
activities; like, brokerage, and currency trading. It can also be related to activities,
like, a sports team, a police team, or branding of an athlete. This kind of culture does
not eschew high levels of stress; instead they are known to reach the apotheosis of
efficiency. The employees are expected to possess a strong mentality for survival in
the organization.
Work hard/ Play hard culture: This type of organization does not involve
much risk, as the organizations, already, consist of a firm base coupled with a strong
client relationship. This kind of culture is predominantly opted by the large-scaled
organizations that have gained their customers trust and support; subsequently rolling
out a specialized jargon, and is qualified with multiple-team meetings.
Bet your company culture: In this type of culture, the company makes big, and
important decisions over high stake endeavours. It takes time to see the consequence
of these decisions. Companies that postulate experimental projects, and researches as
their core business proposition, adopt this kind of culture; for instance, a company
designing experimental military weapons may implement the said type of culture.
Process culture: This type of culture does not include the process of feedback. In
this kind of culture, the organization is extremely cautious about the adherence to
laws, and prefers to abide by them. This culture bestows consistency upon the
organization, predominantly meant for public services.
A Healthy Work culture is one that effectively attracts, retains and engages employees. A
workplace can be considered healthy if three key elements are addressed in an integrated
manner. These three elements are:
Help people see how their individual role supports the work of your department, your
division, department, and ultimately the goals of the organization. Let them know how their
contribution makes a difference. Share information about thats happening in the organization
that will help them understands why the organization is such an exciting place to be.
Create opportunities for conversations about successes and what is working well, and what
we can improve. Create opportunities for people to collaboratively work on projects together.
Invite people to share their perspective and welcome their ideas about how to do things even
better. Be available to your colleagues, invite favebook, and keep communication open from
both the ends.
Provide Tools:
Streamline processes and procedures wherever possible to improve efficiency of time and
effort. Ensure people have the tools and information that will support their productivity. Link
them to the resources they need to be effective in their position, including where to get
information and advice on how to be successful.
Provide training and safeguards that address workplace safety and security issues. Encourage
exercise, healthy eating, and other beneficial health habits. Remind people of the benefits of
taking breaks with heavily practices that help them recharge to improve concentration, focus,
mood, and energy. Create opportunities for colleagues to walk or do athletic activities
together.
Tend to relationships:
Create healthy work relationships and collaborative partnerships returns attention and
positive intention, careful listening, speaking up in appropriate ways, healthy and creative
resolution of conflicts, reinforcement for respectful behaviour, and mutual support for
learning and growth.
Express Appreciation:
Find creative ways to recognize peoples contributions. Take advantage of every opportunity
to express your appreciation, in public, and try to give advices of negative attitude, in a
manner that it doesnt hurt the personal respect of the person, so that the employees who hear
such things shall not get affected by the treatment. It doesnt take long hand it has a great
impact.
We can be productive and have fun at the same time. Holding things lightly and having a
sense of play relieves stress, promotes a positive outlook, and increases creativity.
Sometimes our own example is the most powerful means of influence. Be aware of and
intentional about how you show up, and honor the power that you have to make difference
in the lives of those around you
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS:
This is the last level of Organizational Culture and is almost invisible to a newcomer. The
difficulty in visibility of this level is as such that even the older employees of the
Organization are not consciously aware of basic assumptions of the Organization. The basic
assumptions, like values, also guide the behavior and convey members of an organization
how to perceive and think about things. According to Edgar Schien Assumptions is the
essence of culture. Basic assumptions are developed over the history of the organization and
are also developed from the ways organization handles different situations. As the basic
assumptions are unconscious, and the older employees find them difficult to define to newer
employees, they are learned by the new comers as a result of trial and error behavior and by
watching the reactions of older employees in the diverse situations.
The Organizational Culture is derived from National Culture. The beliefs and values that are
practiced in the Organizations are a derived part of national culture from the host country;
still the organizations have their own unique culture. The shared values and beliefs in one
organization are not necessarily the same in the other organization. This is because- though
the organizational culture is derived from the national culture, in general, but in an
organization, it is further derived from the particular characteristic and experience unique to
that organization. In the context of globalization, an organization derives the culture from the
other nations too. The global environment and the concept of global village have brought
tremendous changes in the organization culture and learning. It has brought about a vast
change in the culture and learning of the organizations that with this change the study of
organization culture and learning has gained unprecedented weight.
The role of the study of organizational culture and learning cannot be overlooked because of
the changes occurring in the organizational world. The increasing rate of change in the
environment has improved the role of organization in the modern world. Here, it becomes
necessary to look into the definitions once more keeping in view the foreign impact.
The concept of Organizational Culture has received increasing attention in recent years both
from academicians and practitioners. Organizational Culture has been defined in various
ways. NK Singh and Omita Paul in their book "Work Culture in India" have defined work
culture as the "prevalent and common patterns of feeling and behavior in an Organization".
Academy Culture-
Having highly skilled employees who are inclined to stay in the organization the organization
on the other hand provides them a stable environment to develop and utilize their skills.
The employees have high prized skills and work as free agents. These types of employees
because of their high demand get jobs easily. This type of culture is mostly prominent in fast
paced, high-risk organizations such as investment, banking, advertising etc
Club Culture-
Internal promotions are core of this culture, seniority is valued. The essential prerequisite of
this type of culture is to fit in a group. Example: military, law firms etc.
Fortress Culture-
Employees don't know if they'll be laid off or not. These organizations often undergo massive
reorganization. There are many opportunities for those with timely, specialized skills.
Examples are savings and loans, large car companies, etc
Organizational Culture can have many functional effects on the Organizations and their
management. The two major areas on which they contribute are
An organization that has effectively adapted to the external environment can build up culture
with the consent of the members about the organization's mission. The culture will then
include the specific goals derived from the mission and the means to arrive at these goals. If
the consent about the mission is among the veteran employees then the organization will
move efficiently toward these goals as the members have the consent about what needs to be
done and how it is to be done. In short, an organization's culture can help its members
develop a sense of Identity with the organization and a clear vision of the organizations
direction. An organizational Culture that gives its members a clear vision of the organization's
mission also presents a consistent image to its markets, customers, and clients
Eventually this clear vision and consistent image can give the organization a competitive
edge by edifying assurance to its product or services. In the developed Organizational
Culture, there is a feeling of belongingness amongst the members of the organization. They
have clear and agreed views about the measurement of the results and remedial action that is
to be taken if something goes wrong. Veteran members know and almost act mechanically to
deal with a particular situation, they are so well-equipped that they know what and where the
things are going wrong and what action should be taken.
Organizational cultures also define the reward systems. Organizational Cultures differ in
reward systems. Some Organizational cultures consider the whole Organization as a system
and rewards on the basis of organizational performance whereas other organizations reward
on the basis of individual performance.
For any organization to sustain over a long term, it is very important to diagnose the culture
so as to adapt to the fast changing environment. It is further necessary to know about when
the organization can continue its journey without any change in culture and when it ought to
initiate the change. Organizations often fail in their change and improvement efforts because
of their inability to bring about the cultural change. There have been education institutions
and other business organizations that have dramatically improved their performance as a
result of applying the processes and approaches necessary to introduce such change as a key
part of their services. Though these approaches are not a mere panacea for all the
organizational and managerial problems, yet these prescribe a set of tools and procedures that
are helpful in assisting with cultural and personal changes in originations.
The universities and private education institutions in India demand such a culture that helps
in matching their personal style and capabilities with the demands of the professional world.
By making a diagnosis of their own culture, the change agents can help organizations and
guide their change efforts towards the development of a congenial culture. It has been well
received that the culture change can foster dramatic improvement in organizational
effectiveness, and at the same time, it can be the major obstacle that keeps organizations from
fulfilling their objectives.
The present research work is an outcome of such a diagnosis where an assiduous effort has
been made to diagnose the organizational culture in various professional educational
institutions in the state of Punjab and Haryana. The dissertation, in its spread, describes at
length about the findings and attempts to seek certain understanding regarding the state of
affairs in such private and university owned professional education centers.
The instrument of Prof. Pankaj Kumar has been taken for diagnosing Organizational Culture.
The instruments account for an overall organizational culture profile. The various dimensions
of Organization Culture are assessed which are based upon a theoretical framework of how
organizations work and the kinds of values upon which their culture have been founded. The
instruments identify the current organizational culture that laid a path to the preferred culture
or the future culture.
The Organizational Culture can be diagnosed from two perspectives (I) as an outsider and (ii)
as an insider.
AS AN OUTSIDER:
The diagnosis of the environment can be done from outside as a potential employee and it
will make one find out that whether the Organizational culture will be the one where one will
like to work, whether one will get the opportunity to grow or will the organization demand
more from one than one is ready to give willingly. Although one will not learn all the inner
secrets of a culture, as one has not yet joined, one can find clues about what would he like to
work for that organization
AS AN INSIDER:
As an insider one is actually working within the organization; then the stories and anecdotes
can be the best source in knowing the culture of that organization. Stories often describe
organizational heroes. What did those heroes do? We pay close attention because a hero's
action is likely to imply important values in the organization's culture an important factor in
diagnosing organizational culture is to look for details. Details provide information of the
organizational culture almost like a guide and this information has an impact on the
performance of organizations.
CULTURE
Managers of modern organizations regularly face three decisions about their organization's
culture. They can decide to create a completely new culture, usually in a separate work unit
or in a new organization. They can work at maintaining their existing organizational culture
because they believe it is right for the environments they face. They can decide to change
their culture to a new set of values, basic assumptions and ideologies
Maintaining organizational Culture does not only mean following the existing culture but also
considering the values that were successful in the past, and also considering whether these
values will be successful in the present environment or not. Culture maintenance requires
knowing the existing organizational culture artifacts, values and ideologies. By maintaining
their culture, managers want to maintain commitment of organization members to key parts
of the culture
Changes in the situations require changes in the organizational culture. With the degree of
globalization, workforce diversity, and technological innovation and due to mergers and
acquisitions, the Organizational Culture needs a change. With the entry of expatriate in the
organization the culture requires change to meet his needs and the organizational needs.
JSW
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Steel Industry in India is on an upswing because of the strong. Indias rapid economic
growth and soaring demand by sectors like infrastructure, real estate and automobiles, at
home and abroad, has put Indian steel industry on the global map. According to the latest
report by International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) India is seven largest steel producers in
the world .The origin of the modern Indian Steel industry can be traced back to 1953 we a
contract for the construction of an integrated steel works in Rourkela, Orissa was signed
between the Indian government and the German companies Fired Krupp und Demag AG.
The initial plan was an annual capacity of 500,000 tonnes, but this was subsequently
raised to 1 million tonnes. The capacity of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), which belongs to the
SAIL (steel Authority of India Ltd) group, is presently 2 million tonnes. At every stage te
former USSR and a British consortium also showed an interest in establishing a modern steel
industry in India. This resulted in the Soviet-aided building of a steel mill with capacity of 1
million tonnes in Bhilai ad the British lacked constriction in Durgapur of a foundry was also
has a million tonnes capacity.
Global Scenario:
In 2014, the world crude steel production reached 1661.5 million tonnes (mt) and
showed a growth of 1.2% over 2013. (Source: World Steel Association or WSA,
prov.)
China remained the worlds largest crude steel producer in 2014 (823 mt) followed by
Japan (110.7 mt), the USA (88.3 mt) and India (83.2 mt) at the 4th position.
WSA has projected that global apparent steel use will increase by 2% to 1,562 mt in
2014 following growth of 3.8% in 2013 while in 2015; world steel demand will grow
by another 2% and will reach 1,594 mt. As per their forecast, Indias outlook is
improving and in 2014, Indias steel demand is expected to grow by 3.4% to 76.2 mt,
following growth of 1.8% in 2013. In 2015 structural reforms and improving
confidence will support a further 6% growth in Indian steel demand but elevated
inflation and fiscal consolidation remain key downside risks to the outlook.
Per capita finished steel consumption in 2013 is estimated at 219 kg for world and
545 kg for China by WSA.
Domestic Scenario:
The Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2007-08,
riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel.
Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of
crude steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world.
As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan, there
exist many factors which carry the potential of raising the per capita steel
consumption in the country. These include among others, an estimated infrastructure
investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of manufacturing from
current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030 from the
current level of 400 million, emergence of the rural market for steel currently
consuming around 10 kg per annum buoyed by projects like Bharat Nirman, Pradhan
Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Awaas Yojana among others.
The National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110 million
tonnes (mt) by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing
projects, both in Greenfield and Brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th
Five Year Plan has projected that domestic crude steel capacity in the county is likely
to be 140 mt by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 million tonnes if all
requirements are adequately met.
Production:
Steel industry was delicensed and decontrolled in 1991 & 1992 respectively.
Today, India is the 4 th largest crude steel producer of steel in the world.
In 2013-14, production for sale of total finished steel (alloy + non alloy) was 87.67
mt and 65.197 mt during April-December 2014-15 (provisional).
Production for sale of Pig Iron in 2013-14 was 7.95 mt and 6.08 mt during April-
December 2014-15 (provisional).
India is the largest producer of sponge iron in the world with the coal based route
accounting for 89% of total sponge iron production in the country.
Data on production for sale of pig iron, sponge iron and total finished steel (alloy +
non-alloy) are given below for last five years and April-December 2014-15:
Total Finished Steel 60.62 68.62 75.70 81.68 87.67 65.197 (64.190)
(alloy + non alloy)

The New Industrial policy opened up the Indian iron and steel industry for
private investment by (a) removing it from the list of industries reserved for public sector and
(b) exempting it from compulsory licensing. Imports of foreign technology as well as foreign
direct investment are now freely permitted up to certain limits under an automatic route.
Ministry of Steel plays the role of a facilitator, providing broad directions and assistance to
new and existing steel plants, in the liberalized scenario.
i. Steel: The liberalization of industrial policy and other initiatives taken by the Government
have given a definite impetus for entry, participation and growth of the private sector in the
steel industry. While the existing units are being modernized/expanded, a large number of
new steel plants have also come up in different parts of the country based on modern, cost
effective, state of-the-art technologies. In the last few years, the rapid and stable growth of
the demand side has also prompted domestic entrepreneurs to set up fresh greenfield projects
in different states of the country.
Crude steel capacity was 101 mt in 2013-14 and India, the 4th largest producer of
crude steel in the world, has to its credit, the capability to produce a variety of grades and that
too, of international quality standards. The country is expected to become the 2 nd largest
producer of crude steel in the world soon, provided all requirements for creation of fresh
capacity are adequately met.
ii. Pig Iron: India is also an important producer of pig iron. Post-liberalization, with
setting up several units in the private sector, not only imports have drastically reduced but
also India has turned out to be a net exporter of pig iron. The private sector accounted for
93% of total production for sale of pig iron in the country in 2013-14. The production for sale
of pig iron has increased from 1.6 mt in 1991-92 to 7.95 mt in 2013-14.
iii. Sponge Iron: India is the worlds largest producer of sponge iron with a host of coal
based units, located in the mineral-rich states of the country. Over the years, the coal based
route has emerged as a key contributor and accounted for 89% of total sponge iron
production in the country. Capacity in sponge iron making too has increased over the years
and stood at 45 mt in 2013-14.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
India has abundance of iron ore, coal & other raw materials required for iro & steel
making. It has 4th largest iron ore reserves (13billion tones) in the world.
India has low unit labor cost, its get reflected i low cost of production.
It has 3rd largest pool of technical manpower, next to United States &erst while USSR,
capable of understanding and assimilating new technologies.
Weakness:
1. Unscientific mining:
India is deficient in raw materials required by the steel industry. Iron Ore deposits are
finite and there are problems in mining sufficient amounts of it. Indias hard coal
deposits are of low quality.
2. Low Productivity:
3. Power shortages:
4. Inadequate infrastructure:
Since huge capital investment is required therefore cost of these is very high.
Opportunities:
The Indian rural market remains fairly unexposed to the multi- faceted use of steel
There is enormous scope for increasing consumption of steel in almost all sectors in
India.
It is estimated that world steel consumption will double in next 25 yrs. Quality
improvement of Indian steel combined with low cost advantages will definitely help in
substantial gain in export market.
4. Consolidation:
As global companies have realized the threat of excess supply, they are looking at M&A
options to retain market share and improve margins.
Threats:
1. Technological change:
The demand for steel is derived demand and the purchase quantity depends on end
user requirements. The traders are price sensitive and buy when there are discounts.
High quality products for developed countries available for imports at competitive
prices
Power shortage hampers the production of steel use of outdated process for
production lags behind in the production of stainless steel Deficiency of raw materials
required by the industry labor productivity is low. It is 144 tons per worker per year against
600 tons in Western Europe as per estimates in adequate shipment capacity and transport
structure.
CONSUMPTION:
Indias Steel consumption rise 8 percent in the year ended March 2010, over the same
period a year ago on account of improved demand from sectors like automobile,
infrastructure and housing. The countrys steel consumption increased to 56.3 MT in the 12
months to March 2010 from 52.3MT in the previous year, as per the Ministry of Steel.

History of JSW:
In 1994, Jindal Vijayanagar Steel (JVSL) was set up with its plant located at Tornagallu in
the Bellary-Hospet area in the State of Karnataka, the heart of the high-grade iron ore belt
and spread over 10,000 acres (40 km2) of land. Over a decade it also set up a plant at Salem
with an annual capacity of 1 million tones. It is on the threshold of a major expansion plan of
adding 3.2 million tons per annum to its at Vijayanagar Plant to achieve 11 MTPA by 2011. It
has established a strong presence in the global value-added steel segment with the acquisition
of a steel mill in US and a Service Center in United Kingdom. JSW Steel has also formed a
joint venture for setting up a steel plant in Georgia. The Company has further acquired iron
ore mines in Chile and coal mines in USA & Mozambique. The current manufacturing
capacity of company is 14.3 MTPA. In Aug 2014, it acquired Welspun Maxsteel Ltd in a deal
valued at around 1,000 Crores.JSW has already acquired 3 MTPA Hot Rolling Plant in Dolvi
Maharashtra ( earlier named Ispat Industries Ltd).
In the 15th Century, Krishnadevaraya, the famous King (1509-29) ruled the Royal
Vijayanagar Dynasty located in Southern India. The Vijayanagar Kingdom is famous for its
Art, wealth, Peace & prosperity. The Empire was world famous for the beauty of its capital
and it is also believed to be the richest Kingdom of 15 th Century. Reminiscing the past glory
and grandeur of Vijayanagar JSW has an interesting history. Though a foundation was laid in
1971 by the then Prime Minister Late Smt. Indira Gandhi for setting up an integrated steel
plant under public sector, the plan remained a non-starter till 1994. The public sector shelved
the idea because of rescue constraints and the idea remained a distant dream for the people of
Karnataka. The floodgates were thrown open to the private sector in 1990 to have a joint
venture for Integrated Steel Plant with KSIIDC but they withdrew due to infrastructure
bottlenecks. In 1994, the Government of Karnataka approached the O.P.Jindal group, which
succeeded in starting Vijayanagar Steel Plant in a record 33 months. The constraints were
taken care of adopting state of the Art technology. Selecting the COREX process along with
the traditional blast furnace route provided innovative solutions to power & water scarcity.
Meanwhile road and rail linkage to Goa and Chennai were improved and the Government of
Karnataka assured a steady water supply.
JSW Steel Ltd JSW is part of US $16.5 billion O.P.Jindal Group. It has grown to US
$11 billion in little over a decade and has presence across various sectors Steel, Energy,
Minerals, Port & Infrastructure, cement and Aluminum under the dynamic relationship of Mr.

JSW Steel is the largest manufacturer and exporter of Galvanised Steel in India and the first
supplier of higher coating (550 gsm) to the Solar sector in the country. Our world-class
galvanizing facilities are located at Vasind, Tarapur and Kalmeshwar in Maharashtra.
Galvanised products from JSW Steel are trusted the world over for their impeccable quality.
Galvanised steel from JSW Steel is corrosion resistant, eco-friendly, durable, light weight and
high in strength. During the process of galvanizing, zinc reacts with steel and forms zinc-iron
alloy layers. These layers are bonded metallurgically to the base steel, with the relatively pure
zinc layer on the outer surface to act as a protective coat. It creates an impervious barrier on
the steel, thus preventing it from coming in contact with moisture and preventing corrosion.
Additionally, galvanizing enables the sheet to achieve excellent adhesion and abrasion
resistance. Another shielding mechanism is zincs property to galvanically protect steel.
When base steel is exposed to cuts, edges or scratches, the zinc coats corrosion protects the
steel. Zincs electronegative properties when compared to steel in the galvanic series help
achieve this protection
Key Features:
Computer controlled processes ensure perfect zinc coating on the strips which further
helps in effective prevention of rust and in lengthening the product life
The sheets are made in different surface finishes, such as bright, dull or matte as per
customer requirements. Spangles can be regular or minimum as specified by the
buyer.

which are 87% yes, 13% no with the fact that Policies and procedures of the organization will

Findings
1. It is found from research nearly 80% of employees are satisfied with the culture that exist
at JSW
2. It is to be noted that 92% of JSW employees are having clear idea about
responsibilities of their jobs which makes them to perform well
3. It is observed that only 60% of employees are ready to adapt fast to difficult
situations
4. It is found that 93% of JSW employees are satisfied with the infrastructure
available at JSW
5. From the research 96% of employees are having clear understanding of the
JSW goals, objectives and beliefs
6. From the tables and graphs only 61% of employees are agreeing that culture
has to be developed by top level management
8. It is found from the research that only 48% of employees are having autonomy
to make decisions in their work
Suggestions
1. Few percentage of employees are not ready to accept to face the difficult situations , I
suggest the organization to improve the level of percentage by providing sufficient
training programs
2. The basic thing for any organization is infrastructure, I suggest to the organization to
provide proper facilities to employees at work place
3. If the organization provides flexibility to the employees for taking important decisions
regarding their task, then employees will motivate to work
4. The performance of the employees is majorly affected by the policies and procedures, so
I suggest the organization to aware the employees about policies and procedures of their
organization.
5. After the survey completion, I suggest the organization to aware the employees about the
time horizons
6. I suggest the organization that there should be transparent and good communication
channel to be exist between top level management and employees
Conclusion
Leadership sets the tone and direction of a corporate culture, but HR could be the mirror for
our leaders and help them see both the positive and negative elements of the work culture,
and its effect of the organizational progress. Basic HR practices such as recruitment,
selection, training, etc, affect the performance and stability of an organization. Thus these
practices have the ability to influence employee behavior and create values that develop work
culture. Since the behavior change refers to how one act or conducts oneself, if HR practices
could positively affect the behavior, developing positive thinking about organizational
initiatives towards the employees can help in creating value for the strategies and would
result in positive results for the business.
Work culture is reflected in the way people perform tasks, set objectives, and administer the
necessary resources to achieve objectives. Culture affects the way individuals make
decisions; feel, in response to the opportunities and threats affecting the organization.
Research suggests that numerous outcomes have been associated either directly or indirectly
with organizational culture. A healthy and robust work culture may provide various benefits,
such as competitive edge derived from innovation and customer service, consistent, efficient
employee performance, team cohesiveness, high employee morale, strong company
alignment towards goal achievement, etc.
