ABSTRACT
The topic of the project is ‘A Study on Organizational Culture & It’s Impact on
Employees Behavior. It brings out the behavioral aspect of the employees working in
Hyundai Motors India Ltd. The main objective of the study is to find the overall
performance of the employees.
The research design used in this study is descriptive research design. Data from 100
people were collected as population study. Data was collected by survey method
through structured questionnaire with close ended questions. The primary data was
obtained through questionnaire and secondary data from the company records and
through internet.
The purpose of the survey process is to provide a more accurate assessment of the
existing culture from the employees’ point-of-view and also to assess their behaviours
with respect to that of the existing culture.
The culture of an organization consists of the values and beliefs of the people in an
organization. The organizational culture usually has values and beliefs that support
the organizational goals. Organizational culture has an impact on employee’s
satisfaction.
The analysis was done through simple percentage analysis and weighted average
method. From the analysis it was found that the employees of HMIL were much
satisfied with their interpersonal relationships, co-ordination and integration between
various departments of the organization, and also the rewards & incentives given by
their management. But the management has to provide more practical sessions in
training programmes to improve their performance in their respective fields. Such
training programmes will help them to enhance their knowledge in the respective
fields.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT
Culture is one of those terms that is difficult to express distinctively, but everyone
knows it when they sense it. The word “culture” is used with many different meanings
in everyday spoken language and in scholarly literature. Social anthropologists in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth century studies of primitive societies used the term
“culture” originally. It was used to describe the primitive societies’ ways of life that
were not only different from the more industrialized parts of America and Europe, but
were often very different among themselves (Kotter & Heskett, 1992). Formerly, the
American Heritage Dictionary defines “culture” as “the arts, beliefs, customs,
institutions, and all other products of human work and thought created by a people or
group at a particular time.” Organizational culture evolves from the social practices of
members of the organization, therefore, it’s a socially created reality that exists in the
heads and minds of members of the organization as well as in the formal rules,
policies, and procedures of organizational structures. Culture is an ongoing process of
reality construction, providing a pattern of understanding that helps members of
organizations to interpret Impact of organizational culture 6 events and to give
meaning to their working worlds. Thus, culture is an evolutionary and dynamic
process that incorporates changing values, beliefs, and underlying assumptions
regarding the organization (Kropp, 2000). Others (Kotter & Heskett, 1992) see
organizational culture as a two-level process, which differ in terms of their visibility
and their resistance to change. At the less visible level, organizational culture refers to
values that are shared by the people in a group. These values tend to persist over time
despite changes in the group membership. For example, the notion of what is
important in life can vary in different organizations. In some settings, people may care
deeply about money, in others about technological innovations or employee well
being. Culture at this level is very difficult to change, partly because group members
are often unaware of many of the values that bind them together. At the more visible
level, organizational culture represents the behavior patterns or style of an
organization that persist because new employees are automatically encouraged to
adopt them by their fellow employees. Those that fit in are rewarded and those that
don’t are sanctioned. Corporate culture can also be viewed as a system. The inputs to
this system include feedback from the society, professions, laws, stories, heroes,
values on competition or Impact of organizational culture 7 service, etc. The process
is based on the organization’s assumptions, values and norms. For example, the
company’s values on money, time, facilities, space and people. The outputs or effects
of culture are organizational behaviors, technologies, strategies, image, products,
services, appearance, etc.
Organizational members are intentionally acculturated into the assumptions and belief
systems of their companies’ culture. One method of transmitting cultural values and
beliefs is through group norms. Norms help to shape the behavior of group members
so that it is in accordance with the values and beliefs of the organization's culture.
Culture, acting through institutionalized belief systems and group norms, can be a
very effective means of directing the behavior of organizational members toward
activities deemed important to the goals of the organization. Incidentally, it appears
that there is a life cycle to the four cultures described by the Double S Cube (Goffee
& Jones, 1998). Companies often migrate from one culture to the next based on the
size and complexity of the organization. Initially, they start out as communal, which is
not surprising given their size and the likelihood that the owner and founder is around
to create a sense of high energy, clear vision, and deep commitment. In most start-up
companies, employees work closely in a fluid, exciting, and often intense Impact of
organizational culture 22 return to their homes, only to see each other again on the
weekends for softball and more talk, often about work. But, as companies grow, they
gravitate from the communal to the networked quadrant. This is mainly because of the
difficulty in maintaining a balance of sociability and solidarity in groups of more than
a fifty individuals. As reporting structure and relationships increase and roles
differentiate, the solidaristic aspect of the communal culture weakens. Another culture
where a lot of things happen because of relationships, replaces the communal one.
The high sociability is reinforced by the fact that communal cultures leave behind an
attitudinal legacy (Goffee & Jones, 1998). Because people assume they are going to
be friends with their co-workers, they continue to socialize in the old ways. What ends
up diminishing is the shared sense of goals, which is the defining hallmark of
solidarity. Some examples of organizational cultural impact on behavior are briefly
described below. These are all based on the existing research on the subject of effect
of culture on performance and behavior, as well as on the direct observation and
experience of the author. Some details have been modified to protect the identities of
the organizations and individuals involved.
To assess the existing culture of the organization and to find its impact on
employees’ behaviour.
To analyse the overall performance of the employees.
To learn the employees relationship with their peers.
To study the employees feel about the management.
To understand how the employer encourages participation in decision making.
To find out the employees motivational factor.
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 for the understanding and practice of organizational behavior.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is an arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of the
data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with
economy in procedure. The study is descriptive in nature i.e., descriptive research.
Descriptive research is concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular
individual or group. This includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different
kinds. The main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over
the variables; one can only report what has happened or what is happening. Thus, the
research design in case of descriptive study is a comparative design throwing light on
all the areas and must be prepared keeping the objectives of the study and the
resources available. This study involves collection of data from Junior level
Executives.
POPULATION SIZE
The universe of the study consists of employees (Junior level Executives) of Hyundai
with a total number of 105. Out of the total population data could be collected from
100 persons.
DATA SOURCE
This study involves collection of primary data from the employees of Hyundai. This
survey method is used considering the size of the universe and time factor. Data are
collected through structured Questionnaire. Questionnaire has been designed and
personally administered.
ANALYSIS
As the questions generate direct information the data were analyzed using Statistical
tools such as,
1. Simple percentage
2. Weighted average
CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 LITERATURE REVIEW
Collins and Porras, 2000 identified that organizational culture always refers to a
system of shared meaning held by members of the society that distinguish one
organization from other organizations. The members believe that these shared
meanings are a set of key n characteristics, and that the organization values and the
essence of an organization’s culture can be captured indifferent basic characteristics.
According to Herzberg, F. (1968) and Hackman J. R., & Oldham, G. R., 1976) Job
security, salary, fringe benefits, work conditions) that do not give positive
satisfaction, though dissatisfaction results from their absence. These are extrinsic to
the work itself, and include aspects such as company policies, supervisory practices,
or wages/salary.
Locke (1969) defined job satisfaction as an emotional state related to the positive or
negative appraisal of job experiences.
Kreis and Brockopp (1986) suggested that job satisfaction is related to self-
perception of needs fulfillment through work.
Mckenzie (1994) defined culture as the use of artifacts and rituals to pass on notions
of identity. These resources of identity sustain structures of feeling that organize and
make sense of everyday life. It has to do so under the extra ordinary pressure of the
modern division of labour, which fragments people’s experience, such that people are
always having to negotiate with each other a cultural politics that allow different bits
of identity to co-exist sounds impossible, but it gets even harder when culture finds
itself circulated and negotiate not just through media that can simultaneously reach
millions.
Schein (1983), believes that an organization’s current customs, traditions, and general
ways of doing things are largely due to what it has done before and the degree of
success it has had with those endeavors. This leads us to the ultimate source of an
organization’s culture: its founders. The founders of an organization traditionally have
a major impact on that organization’s early culture. They have a vision of what the
organization should be. They are unconstrained by previous customs or ideologies.
The small size founders imposition of their vision on all organizational members.
Organizational culture has assumed importance since the 21st century, because of its
impact on employee performance and job satisfaction. It is imperative on every
organization to understand its own dynamic culture so that mangers can capitalize on
the insights generated by the cultural perspective to wield greater control over their
organizations. The culture of an organization has an important on its performance.
Organizational culture can be described as a thought or scheme in the field of
management and organizational studies which depicts and describes the psychology,
behaviors, experiences, beliefs and values of an organization. These morals, values,
ethics and ideals could be personal as well as cultural (Harrison & Stokes, 1992,
p.23).
Organizational culture has the potential to affect a range of organizationally and
individually desired outcomes. According to Ritchie (2000), organizational culture
affects such outcomes as productivity, performance, commitment, self confidence,
satisfaction and ethical behavior. Similarly, more recent writers have stated that
organizational culture impacts on any organization, its employee performance and job
satisfaction and ultimately its financial performance. Furthermore, it has also been
noted that organizational culture helps management to find out the suitable strategies
and policies which can drive employees to contribute themselves and lead to
organizational performance. With the ever changing technology and fast paced
business arena, organizations today are grappling to find new and innovative ways of
improving performance with the minimal addition of cost. Many organizations have
now turned to explore the sociological aspect of the business in order to improve
profitability. Culture is one aspect that is not tangible, yet it plays a very important
role to the success of any organization.
There is no single definition for organizational culture. The topic has been studied
from a variety of perspectives, ranging from disciplines such as anthropology and
sociology, to the applied discipline of organizational behavior, management sciences
to organizational commitment. In the course of this research, we are going to look at
some definitions given by some authors from the applied sciences discipline.
Moorhead and Griffin (1995, p.628), authors of books on organizational culture, feel
compelled to develop their own definitions of culture. These may vary from the very
broad definitions to the highly specific. Most definitions refer to some sort of values,
beliefs, and attitudes that are held by individuals and the organization.
Schein (1999, p.200) defines culture as a pattern of shared basic assumptions that the
group learned as it solved problems of external adaptation and internal integration that
has 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.
In the last decade, it has been used by some organizational researchers and managers
to indicate the climate and practices that organizations develop around their handling
of people or to refer to the espoused values and credo of an organization.
Collins and Porras (2000, p.338) state that organizational culture refers to a system of
shared meaning held by members that distinguish one organization from other
organizations. They believe that these shared meanings are a set of key characteristics,
and that the organization values and the essence of an organization’s culture can be
captured in seven primary characteristics. These characteristics are:
Innovation and risk – taking: This has to do with the degree to which employees
are encouraged to be innovative and take risks;
Attention to detail: The degree to which employees are expected to exhibit
precision analysis and attention to detail;
Outcome orientation: The degree to which management focuses on results or
outcomes rather than on the techniques and processes used to achieve those
outcomes;
People orientation: The degree to which management decisions takes into
consideration the effect of outcomes on people within the organization;
Team orientation: The degree to which work activities are organized around
teams rather than individuals;
Aggressiveness: The degree to which people are aggressive and competitive rather
than easygoing;
Stability: The degree to which organizational activities emphasize maintaining the
status quo in contrast to growth.
Each of these characteristics exists on a continuum from low to high. Appraising
the organization on these seven characteristics gives a composite picture of the
organizations culture.
Levels of Organizational Culture
Organizational culture exists on several levels, which differ in terms of visibility and
resistance to change. When it comes to changing the culture of the organization, it
becomes difficult to determine which the more are, and which are the less important
elements that help shape an organizations culture. Hofstede (1990) developed a four-
layered hierarchical model of culture which helps to identify and categories the
constituent elements of culture.
Shared assumptions: This is the least visible or deepest level is that of basic,
which represents beliefs about reliability and human nature that are taken for
granted.
cultural values: This is the next level of culture is that of, which represent
collective beliefs, assumptions, and feelings about what things are good, normal,
rational, and valuable. Cultural values might be very different in different
organizations; in some, employees may care deeply about money, but, in others,
they may care more about technological innovation or employee well-being.
Shared behaviours: These are more are more visible and somewhat easier to
change than values. The reason is that people may be unaware of the values that
bind them together.
Cultural symbols: The most superficial level of organizational culture consists of
symbols; these are words (jargon or slang), gestures, and pictures or other physical
objects that carry a particular meaning within a culture.
Although there are various other hierarchical models of culture, it is important to note
that actual organizational cultures are not as neat and tidy as the models seem to
imply. Where there are cultures, there are also usually sub cultures, where there is
agreement about cultures, there can also be disagreements and counter cultures; and
there can also be significant differences between espoused culture and culture in
practice (Burnes, 2004, p.172).
Furnham and Gunter (1993), states that organizational culture functions as the internal
integration and coordination between firm’s operations and its employees. Internal
integration has to do with the societal interaction of new members with the existing
ones, creating boundaries of the organization feelings of identity among personal and
commitment to the organization. A strong organizational culture supports adaptation
and develops employee performance by motivating employees towards a shared goal
and objective, and finally shaping and channeling employees’ behavior to that specific
direction. Although, there are certain parameters that are taken into consideration to
understand the impact of organizational culture on employee performance, which
includes: employee participation, innovation and risk-taking, reward systems,
openness to communication, customer service orientation. An organizational culture
that supports these factors motivates the employees to put more effort in their jobs,
which helps increases their performance level. Some theoretical model asserts that the
effective human resource system of an organization based on supporting values
creates a positive impact on employee attitude and behavior, which facilitates their
performance.
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
The automobile industry is one of the most important industries in the world, affecting
not only the economy but also the cultures of the world. It provides jobs for millions
of people, generates billions of dollars in worldwide revenues, and provides the basis
for a multitude of related service and support industries. Automobiles revolutionized
transportation in the 20th century, changing forever the way people live, travel, and
do business.
The automobile has enabled people to travel and transport goods farther and faster,
and has opened wider market areas for business and commerce. The auto industry has
also reduced the overall cost of transportation by using methods such as mass
production (making several products at once, rather than one at a time), mass
marketing (selling products nationally rather than locally), and globalization of
production (assembling products with parts made worldwide). Between 1886 and
1898, about 300 automobiles were built, but there was no real established industry. A
century later, with automakers and auto buyers expanding globally, auto making
became the world's largest manufacturing activity, with nearly 58 million new
vehicles built each year worldwide.
As a result of easier and faster transportation, the United States and world economies
have become dependent on the mobility that automobiles, trucks, and buses provide.
This mobility allowed remote populations to interact with one another, which
increased commerce. The transportation of goods to consumers and consumers to
goods has become an industry in itself. The automobile has also brought related
problems, such as air pollution, congested traffic, and highway fatalities.
Nevertheless, the automobile industry continues to be an important source of
employment and transportation for millions of people worldwide.
INDIA AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Following India's growing openness, the arrival of new and existing models, easy
availability of finance at relatively low rate of interest and price discounts offered by
the dealers and manufacturers all have stirred the demand for vehicles and a strong
growth of the Indian automobile industry.
The data obtained from ministry of commerce and industry, shows high growth
obtained since 2001- 02 in automobile production continuing in the first three quarters
of the 2004-05. Annual growth was 16.0 per cent in April-December, 2004; the
growth rate in 2003-04 was 15.1 per cent the automobile industry grew at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 per cent between 1992 and 1997. With investment
exceeding Rs. 50,000 crore, the turnover of the automobile industry exceeded Rs.
59,518 crore in 2002-03. Including turnover of the auto-component sector, the
automotive industry's turnover, which was above Rs. 84,000 crore in 2002-03, is
estimated to have exceeded Rs.1,00,000 crore ( USD 22. 74 billion) in 2003-04.
In terms of Car dealer networks and authorized service stations, Maruti leads the pack
with Dealer networks and workshops across the country. The other leading
automobile manufacturers are also trying to cope up and are opening their service
stations and dealer workshops in all the metros and major cities of the country.
Dealers offer varying kind of discount of finances who in tern pass it on to the
customers in the form of reduced interest rates.
Major Manufacturers of Automobiles in India
Government has liberalized the norms for foreign investment and import of
technology and that appears to have benefited the automobile sector. The production
of total vehicles increased from 4.2 million in 1998- 99 to 7.3 million in 2003-04. It is
likely that the production of such vehicles will exceed 10 million in the next couple of
years.
