Out of all the definitions that were given the one I resonate with is found in our text book, Black and La Venture (2015) offered a description by Forehand and Gilmer (1964) that states organizational climate is a set of characteristics that describe an organization and that (a) distinguish the organization from other organizations (b) are relatively enduring over time and (c) influence the behavior of people. (p. 21) I picked this definition because it talks about the company as a whole and the influence and effects it has on the employees as well as the customers and the business itself.
When comparing and contrasting on culture and climate in our text book, Black and La Venture (2015) we see the factors that go into organizational climate which include 1.flexibility, 2. responsibility, 3. Standards, 4. Rewards, 5.clarity, and 6.Commitment. I can see how people will sometimes confuse the two because they seem so similar. Some others examples are organizational climate likes flexibility where employees can be innovated. While organizational culture likes shared values that employees find meaningful. Another

After reading this article it reminded me about a different class and we were talking about in and out groups. That if you were in an in group you got more projects and were in the loop of what was going on. The out groups were the opposite they didn’t get the extra projects and were out of the loop. This also remained me of cliques in high school for example a sports teams the all have the same goal/ vision. Which is to win and go to state but it is a vision they all share which include training and preparation, dedication, responsibility, trust, have fun, and work as a
Reconstruction was a time that was supposed to be about healing and rebuilding the U.S.A. But instead was made into a racial division between blacks and whites like the South Carolina black codes taking away black rights. Then, there are the Luisiana black codes that take away black rights to own any thing. Finally, their are the Luisiana constitution (goes hand and hand with the black codes) that stop blacks from voting or anything else.
In this paper, I draw upon the works of scholars categorized within the emerging area of Afro-Pessimism in order to examine the difficulty, and some would argue impossibility, of articulating Black subjectivity. My area of focus will be primarily upon the first three chapters of the book, noting these as the areas within which the first act of transgression constituting the maafa occurred. In these chapters, we are presented with the first encounters of White British slave traders, the presence of which serves to function as the creation of what I argue is a new ontological
In the beginning of the Breakfast Club, 5 individuals arrived to detention. None of them belonged in the same group. They were all polar opposites. Never spoken a word to each other. However, toward the end of the movie they all realized they weren’t as different as they seemed.
China’s One-Child Policy has been a controversial topic since its implementation back in 1979. Forcing families to have only one child has caused major repercussions that have only been magnified with each generation. In the past thirty years, major unforeseen problems have arisen. The policy had appeared to be a viable solution to curb China’s massive population before it was put into effect, but now the problems with the policy clearly overshadow the benefits. When China faced the problem of a swelling population, rapidly approaching one billion (Doc A), the One-Child Policy appeared to be a good idea.
Groups can influence people’s perception and ideas even if they contradict their own. Groups can act as an entity of authority, and for some people it is difficult to stand out or think differently than their peers. “When we’re in a
The first example in which institutionalization of justice interconnects with the institutionalization of patriarchy is the gender-based double standards depicted by powerful diction and interesting imagery found in the passage. The reader understands, based on the text, that Orestes’s act of murder is not valued like Clytemnestra’s act of murder. Orestes appears to be avenging his father; the “noble man to die, covered with praise” (line 633), “the lord of the squadrons, that magnificent man” (line 645) and “guardian of their house” (line 755). These lines describe Agamemnon in a positive manner—a man that was killed without a justified reason. The use of the words “noble”, “praise”, “magnificent”, and “guardian” have positive connotations
According to Watkins (2013), organizational culture is not well defined. However, Watkins (2013) lists characteristics of organizational culture as: observable consistent behavior patterns, an alignment of purpose
These types of groups are aimed at learning from one another, rather than forcing change (Montgomery, 2002).
I had a chance to observe two different kinds of group development which “reflects a group’s path toward closeness, interrelatedness, and, ultimately, separation” (Malekoff, 2006, p. 240). Although Malekoff (2006), emphasized that “a children’s group is a
Involves an emphasis on the importance of fitting in with relevant others and ingroup connectedness.
Have you ever thought that fitting in a group can causing a huge of success? That’s a good question to think about it deeply. Because groups have achieved notable successes in a short time, which means if people divide themselves into a group of four that’s mean the work is divided on every person. Then there will be less pressure and everyone works accurately and perfecting, but sometime there is a kind of people may not agree with this thing. Because they afraid to get into trouble with the group, but mostly, everyone prefer do join with a group because they know they will be more stronger with them. So that is why, there are several reasons of why fitting in a group is important than being unique
The key concept tradition helped me understand the article very well. The ingroup helped me to relate to the article, but the outgroup is the group which must struggle through these traditional ideas everyday. An outgroup is a type of group where you are alone. You try to be in an ingroup; so you are being competitive and feel as if you have an opponent now. Males
Cliques, and what clique do I belong to in my current organization. Well, first a clique in a workplace environment is usually a group of people who share the same beliefs, values, and ideas working towards the same goals (Tappero, 2017). I work for a company that builds bearings for the aerospace industry, and I am part of the management team. I never really thought about it much as being a clique, but if you think about the definition of a workplace clique, then I would say that I belong to the management clique, because I am one out of the six area managers within the company who are working together to accomplish one goal and that is to drive our teams to meet on-time delivery and customer satisfaction and create value among our direct reports.
A strong organizational culture provides both the company and its employees with direction and stability. The culture within an organization can be powerful enough to effect employee attitude and behavior as well as performance and turnover ratio. According to many scientific studies, there are seven primary characteristics used to define the culture of an organization: innovation and risk taking, outcome orientation, people orientation, team orientation, aggressiveness and stability.
The culture and climate both leave a major imprint on any organization. They tend to have the biggest impact during transformational periods. In order for change to be present in any organization, the leader must first identify and be able to stabilize both culture and climate components. While organizational climate has been around for some time now, “organizational climate is a relatively recent development.” (Papa, M.J., Daniels, T.D., & Spiker, B.K. (2008)
