Answer to Question #115720 in Management for Kumar Peddi

Question

Compare the functional and dysfunctional effects of organisational culture on employees within the organisation?

Answer 1

One functional effect is that culture creates a sense of identity for the organisation members, while dysfunctional effects creates barrier to diversity since the employees conform to outlined organizational values. As well, culture serves as a sense making and control mechanism that guides and shapes the attitudes and behaviours of employees, while it also hinders change in the organization.
