Organizational Culture and Climate

Organizational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and practices that shape how members of a workplace interact and make decisions. It influences individual behavior, guiding how employees communicate and collaborate. Organizational climate, on the other hand, relates to the overall atmosphere and mood within the organization, impacting employee morale and motivation. Both culture and climate affect how individuals feel about their work environment, which can enhance or hinder performance, creativity, and job satisfaction. Together, they create the backdrop against which individual behaviors and processes unfold in a workplace.
