DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CULTURE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE


Organizational culture is an idea in the field of Organizational studies and management which describes the psychology, attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values (personal and cultural values) of an organization. It has been defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization."[1]

The main difference between this two "cultures" is that culture per se is the The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes a group of people, while organizational culture is the set of customs that people that work together have.

the organizational culture is very important because if a person that enters a company doesn´t follow it it'll make it very hard for her or him to integrate with the co-workers.

the organizational culture is a more close kind of culture because ot only involves people from a certain organisation while culture could involve millions of people, even from different countries.
