Culture View According to a recent LACCD memorandum beginning 2014 all employees will have the opportunity to download their W2 forms directly from the Districts personnel page. The District anticipates that this decision will lower their cost of printing and postage. It will also enable employees to receive financial information quickly and electronically. However, one of the main drawbacks with modifying the organization procedures is that some employees might feel apprehensive to the change. The culture of an organization refers to the “pattern of development reflected in a society’s system of knowledge, ideology, values, laws, and day-to-day ritual” (Morgan, 120). In the case of LACCD they must understand how the changes in procedures might alter the culture and shape the views of employees. The ability to integrate technology into an organization depends on the employee’s practices, values, and beliefs. It also depends on their ability to learn how to use the technology and willingness to implement the technology. I believe that school leaders should consider integrating technology into an organization in a slow and methodical manner in order to help employees understand the new procedures and give them the opportunity to adapt. This method of integration can help organizations implement their plan and lower employee resistance. The resistance in implementing technology into an organization can significantly increase if it has the potential to impact the
Organizational culture is the “values and beliefs that people have about an organization and provides expectations to people about the appropriate way to behave” (Kinicki, 2013, slide 3). Corporates can change Changing organizational culture can be a process using one or more of the eleven strategies, (1) formal statements, (2) slogans & sayings, (3) stories, legend, & myths, (4) leader reactions crises, (5) role modeling, training, & coaching, (6) physical design, (7) rewards, titles, promotions, & bonuses, (8) organizational goals & performance criteria, (9) measurable & controllable activities, (10) organizational structure, and (11) organizational systems & procedures (Kinicki & Williams, 2013, p. 236-137). Like stated before organizations
“Culture consists of the symbols, rituals, language, and social dramas that highlight organizational life, including myths, stories, and jargon. It includes the shared meanings associated with the symbols, rituals, and language. Culture combines the philosophy of the firm with beliefs, expectations, and values shared by members. It contains the stories and myths about the company's founder and its current leading figures. Organizational culture consists of a set of shared meanings and values held by a set of members in an organization that distinguish the organization from other organizations. An organization's culture determines how it perceives and reacts to the larger environment (Becker, 1982; Schein, 1996). Culture determines the nature
All Organisations posses a distinct form of culture with some having more than a single culture. This culture is usually very difficult to measure, change and most especially change.
Integrating technology into the curriculum and the classroom, for the purpose of instruction is essential, in order to help prepare students to succeed in our rapidly changing world. It is critical for learners, including teachers and administrators, to process and manage information through the skillful use of technology. Every student needs the ability to navigate through the information flow that
As the organization 's culture matures, employees will learn the pivotal values and norms from the organization 's formal socialization practices and from the signs, symbols, stories, rites, ceremonies and organizational language that develop informally. Organizational culture is shaped by the interaction of four main factors: the personal and professional characteristics of people within the organization, organizational ethics, the nature of employment relationship, and the design of its organizational structure. These factors work together to produce different cultures in different organizations and cause changes in culture over time.
Organizational culture is a set of key values, assumptions, and beliefs that are shared by an organization's members. The combined key values create a custom attitude or culture that is followed by the organization's members. The culture represents the "personality of the organization" (McNamara, 1999). Through the observation of employee behavior one can help predict an organization's culture that influences its business attitude. Organizational culture can also help distinguish two companies from each other. One company may have an aggressive culture while the other a more conservative culture. Most importantly, organizational culture is a key element that helps define, support and reinforces the standard for appropriate
The culture of an organization can be defined by the ‘way they do things’, this means the way they make decisions, operate and how they choose and achieve their objectives. As culture is a set of values and practices, changing it may be difficult and a long process, especially if the change is organized by a new chief executive.
Organizational culture is system within an organization that drives the values, standards, and beliefs. Everyone within the organization should have a vested interest in the culture, as it sets a standard of expectations throughout an organization to which everyone performs their job. Organizational culture will influence how and when certain uniforms are worn, the level of professionalism while on a call, doing inspections, or out in public, and what type of behavior is tolerated and not tolerated around the station. One of the greatest attributes of organizational culture is that it is fluid. In other words, this culture can be studied and refined for improvement which can result in a better culture. A good example of this is the use of
Culture is widely understood to be made up of a collection of fundamental values and belief systems which give meaning to organisations (Pettigrew, 1979;Schein, 1985; Sackmann, 1991; Hatch, 1993) The theory of organizational culture maintains that individual behaviour within an organization. Organizational culture can be found at every level of an organization, and since
When we hear the word 'culture ', what appear on our minds are traditions, which have lived and been practiced through the generations of a certain race, tribe or people, for examples, top-spinning and traditional wedding for the Malays. In the following paragraphs, I will be explaining what organizational culture actually is, as applied to the organizations nowadays.
In this paper we will analyze the current culture of an organization using a conceptual model or framework and we will discuss how senior managers have sought to manage the culture of the organization over the past decade and what they could/should have done differently.
As technology becomes more advanced many people tend to use it more often.They see that technology allows them to do things quickly and easily. One example is paying a bill online. It’s a quick and easy process to learn. However, not all websites are made to only pay bills. Some are made to shop, entertain, inform, or to help an organization. Many people don’t really see what methods people use to attract many people to go online. Nowadays many companies have created their own websites to have their customers use at their convenience. Air1.com is an uncommon website, created by the Air 1 radio station which plays Christian music. The Air1 website contains rhetorical appeals using Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to persuade listeners of the Air1 radio station to keep it on air.
One way to ensure that this transition can happen is to consider technological integration as a component of all the work we do in schools, including technology use that supports increased student learning. The goal of embedding high levels of technology into instructional practice can be met if all of the educational stakeholders
It is argued in order to prepare a school for technology integration, the school should represent by a special instance of professional development which has a unique role of curriculum development (Staples, Pugach & Himes, 2005). On the other hand, school officials in conjunction with technology leaders who make the decision regarding how a school will invest in technology would first need a good understanding on how technology use to boost learning of the curriculum and technology use for productivity (Staples, Pugach & Himes, 2005, p. 285). Once the understanding is established, the curriculum developer who anchors technology in the curriculum would need to recognize the need for teachers to have the
