Work Culture
Work culture is a combination of qualities in an organization and its employees that arise from what is generally regarded as appropriate ways to think and act
The "work culture" of an organization is a product of its history, traditions, values, and vision. "a pattern of basic group assumptions that has worked well enough to be considered valid, and, therefore, is taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel."Desirable work culture includes shared institutional values, priorities, rewards and other practices which foster inclusion, high performance, and commitment, while still allowing diversity in thought and action.
The work culture can be improved in a number of ways by, for example:
Improving communications between management and staff in both directions.
Consulting employees and their representatives about their jobs and any changes to them.
Ensuring that jobs which pose a risk and which cannot be completely eliminated are rotated so that no individual spends long on that task.
Ensuring that all employees have sufficient variety of tasks to enable them to use different muscles and postures and to make their job more satisfying.
Office culture
Office culture is the prevailing norm and way of life in an office setting. a desirable office culture is the type wherein each elements in the office developed relationships and way of life that are aimed towards the common good.
Well said Subhranshu.
There is thin line difference between working culture and office culture.
Basically the management decide the working culture of an organisation. Such as mission, vision, strategy and values which are embed and cascade down from the top Management to the employees.
While office culture is managed by the employees, how they behave with their counter-parts, colleagues and third party vendors and also among different departments such as transparent, accountability, supportive and team work.
No doubt the working and office culture is extremely different in MNC and private companies and in different jurisdictions.
Work culture or office culture means working environment in the office. It depends on factors like whether one is appreciated for an initiative taken and whether there is someone to look whether a job is being done properly. Work culture differs from organization to organization , sector to sector and from region to region globally and sometimes within the same country. For example there is a difference between the work culture in Western Europe and Ukraine. There is difference in work culture between Mumbai and Calcutta. And between Govt sector and private companies in some countries.
