An organization's culture defines
the proper way to behave within the organization. This culture consists of
shared beliefs and values established by leaders and then communicated and
reinforced through various methods, ultimately shaping employee perceptions,
behaviors, and understanding. Organizational
culture includes an organization’s expectations, experiences, philosophy, as
well as the values that guide member behavior and is expressed in member
self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future
expectations.
