1. Organizational Culture

Organizational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape how members of an organization interact and work together. It influences the workplace atmosphere, decision-making, and how employees relate to each other and their customers. An organization's culture can be seen in its policies, practices, and even in the way people dress or communicate. A strong, positive organizational culture can lead to higher employee satisfaction and productivity, while a negative culture can create challenges and hinder performance. Essentially, it’s the personality of the organization, guiding how things get done.
