Impact of organizational culture on performance management

 



Organizational culture accommodates the unwritten customs, behaviors and ideals which decide the ‘regulations of the game’ for choice making, structure, and power. It consists of a system of ideas and concepts, customs, traditions, tactics and behavior for functioning in a particular macro culture. It is implicit, invisible, intrinsic, and informal awareness of the business enterprise which directs conduct of the personnel and which ends from their conduct. It is primarily based totally at the shared records and traditions of the business enterprise blended with the contemporary management values. In effect, culture dictates the manner the organizational capabilities are performed. The organizational survival techniques which facilitate assimilation and personal fulfillment depend on the organizational culture.

Although, many researchers had examined the link between organizational culture and performance (Ogbonna & Harris, 2000; Rousseau, 1991; Kotter & Heskett, 1992; Marcoulides & Heck, 1993). Not much research has been done on organizational culture as a contextual factor of performance management (Magee, 2002). Therefore the second one reason of this paper is to decide the connection among additives of organizational culture and overall performance management practices, a pervasive human resource development and management practice. This study is indented to fill those gaps. Performance management practices as essential human resource management exercise assist the view that employees and managers enjoy the information of organizational culture as a contextual factor. For the prevailing empirical evaluation Denison principle of organizational culture is hired which specializes in 4 cultural traits involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission as key determinants of business performance.

Lee and Yu (2004) studied on corporate culture and its impact on organizational performance, particularly to validate the cultural construct and its impact on the performance. The study detected that culture influences numerous processes within the organization and its performance. Balthazard et al. (2006) measured behavior norms and expectations and its impact on the performance. The results explain positive influence of deductive culture style, whereas negative impact was illustrated as regard to dysfunction, defensive styles on the people, and organization.

 

The Relationship between Organizational Culture and Performance Management


According to Kandula (2006) the key to good performance is a strong culture. He further maintains that due to difference in organizational culture, same strategies do not yield same results for two organizations in the same industry and in the same location. A positive and strong culture can make an average individual perform and achieve brilliantly whereas a negative and weak culture may de-motivate an outstanding employee to underperform and end up with no achievement. Therefore organizational culture has an energetic and direct function in overall performance management and without thinking about the effect of organizational culture, organizational practices inclusive of overall performance control will be counterproductive because the two are interdependent and change in one will impact the other.

In Denison’s model comparisons of organizational culture model is based on four cultural traits involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission that have been shown in the literature to have an influence on organizational performance (Denison, 1990; Denison & Mishra, 1995) the four traits of organizational culture in Denison’s framework are as follows:

Involvement

Effective organizations empower their people, construct their organizations around teams, and expand human functionality in any respect stages and Executives, managers, and employees are dedicated to their work and sense that they own a piece of the organization.


Consistency

Organizations  additionally have a tendency to be powerful due to the fact they have “strong” cultures which are especially consistent, properly coordinated and properly integrated and behavior is rooted in a  fixed of middle values, and leaders and followers are professional at achieving settlement even if there are numerous points of view.


Adaptability

Internal integration and external adaptation can regularly be at odds. Adaptable corporations are driven by their customers, take risks and learn from their mistakes, and have capability and experience at creating change and continuously changing the system so that they are improving the organizations’ collective abilities to provide value for their customers.


Mission

Successful organizations have a clear sense of purpose and path that defines organizational desires and strategic objectives and expresses a vision of how the organization will look in the future and when an organization’s underlying mission changes, changes also occur in other aspects of the organization’s culture.

The strong culture is key to good performance (Kandula, 2006) Further he has described that same strategies do not give same results even in the same industry or same location because organizational culture is different from each other..The positive culture cause for high performance and negative culture thrive employees for underperformance.

  2. Performance management practices as fundamental human resource management practices support the view that employees and managers benefit from the understanding of organizational culture as a contextual factor. For the present empirical analysis, the Denison theory of organizational culture is employed which focuses on four cultural traits (involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission) as key determinants of business performance.

  4. An interesting aspect of an organization's culture is how it tolerates outsiders or conforms to its standards. Some companies are open to allowing their employees to work the way they want to. The culture is simply how we do in our workplace. Culture is different in each organization, The culture tends to make more performance.(rainedigital,2020).
