Organizational culture is defined as a system of shared meanings held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations. This includes values, beliefs, rituals, symbols, and behaviors that are common within an organization. A strong organizational culture can influence employee behavior, enhance job satisfaction, and improve overall organizational performance.
