Edward Schein

Edgar Schein is a renowned organizational psychologist known for his work on corporate culture. He emphasized that the culture of an organization shapes its members' behaviors and attitudes, influencing how businesses operate and succeed. Schein identified three levels of culture: artifacts (visible elements), values (beliefs and attitudes), and underlying assumptions (deeply ingrained behaviors). His insights help organizations understand their culture's impact on performance and guide change management efforts, fostering healthier workplace environments. Schein’s work is foundational for anyone looking to grasp how culture affects organizations and their effectiveness.
