Description

Today’s organization is predominantly dynamic as it poses large opportunities and challenges to the corporate practitioners and policy makers. Understanding such dynamism is very crucial to pursue the organizational strategic objectives. There have been researches in literature to explore the effect of organizational culture on various human resource development programmes of an organization. For example, scholars including Hofstede, 1980; Ouchi, 1981; Hofstede and Bond, 1988, Kotter and Heskett, 1992; Magee, 2002, claim that organizational culture help to provide opportunity and broad structure for the development of human resources’ technical and behavioural skills in an organization. This makes sense because good behavior is driven by ethical values. An organization can guide the conduct of its employees by embedding ethical values in its culture. However, organizational excellences could be varied since cultural traits could be source of competitive advantage through casual ambiguity.
