HOW ORGANIZATION CULTURE EFFECT ON
HUMAN RESOURSE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Due to technological advancements, the world is changing at a rapid pace, as are organizations and work cultures. Today's organization is characterized by numerous opportunities and challenges for managers and decision-makers. Culture is primarily dynamic, and it is critical to comprehend this dynamism in order to achieve organizational goals.
Organizational
culture, in terms of the relative ordering of beliefs, values, and assumptions,
provides an opportunity and broad framework for the development of human
resource management skills in an organization. Many human resource management
scholars have proposed that the various aspects of organizational culture
influence the workforce's values, beliefs, and assumptions. And also
organizational culture is how leadership tends to, cultivates, or takes care of
its business, stakeholders, and employees. Culture can be defined as the
consistent organizational behaviors of employees and leaders (norms) Magee
(2002).
Organizational
culture makes it easier to achieve an organization's strategic goals, attracts
the right employees, and makes those who don't fit stand out. Customers and key
stakeholders are also marketed to. Organizational culture frequently matches
the underlying principles of the organization and immediately reflects the
organization's leadership. The culture may be seen in how decisions are made –
whether top-down or bottom-up – and if employees are comfortable expressing independent
thoughts and feelings without fear of being criticized. It shows itself through
its benefit schemes and if employees are acknowledged and rewarded for
exceeding expectations at work, Martins & Terblanche (2003).
Ways
of HRM Deal with Organization Culture
- ·
Align
Recruitment With Your Goals - The people you hire and how you hire them will
have an enormous impact on your company’s culture, and HR should align their
recruitment practices with the organization’s core values.
- ·
Taking the Lead on Culture – The easiest
method for HR to impact business culture is to take an active role. HR
executives should collaborate with the leadership team and stakeholders
throughout the organization to analyze present corporate culture, identify
possible gaps or opportunities, and develop a strategic plan to align the
organization's culture with its values and goals.
- ·
Use Strategic Compensation and Reward - A
competitive compensation scheme is vital for creating a culture where employees
feel valued for the work they do.
- ·
Practice What You Preach - The HR
department should act as a role model within a company, embodying the behaviors
and values that the organization wants to promote.
- ·
Keep Leaders on Track - Human resources
experts are responsible for bringing the business culture to the forefront by
reminding executives of the influence their decisions have on employee morale
and engagement, as well as how critical it is for the firm to operate in
accordance with its values.
Conclusion
Organizational
culture has a huge influence on how your firm handles work and business, its
brand, and whether or not it meets its organizational goals. HR executives are
also aware that they are influencers and change agents in the creation of
company culture. Most significantly, HR recognizes which HR activities would be
most useful to its organization based on its present culture or the culture to
which it aspires.
