In short organisation's culture contains what it has been good at and what has worked in past. these executions and practices are easily accepted by the long term employees often called legends of organisation. these legends helps to new employees to learn things. apart from practices, norms have its own importance within organisation.

...such as Robert Owen and Elton Mayo’s recognition of the need for, and benefits from, improved working conditions and motivation can be seen as the origins of organisational culture and motivation theory. Just as each theory reflected the influencing environment of its time, both internal and external, the political, social, economic and other changes of the past 20 or so years, has evolved people management to where human resources management (HRM) is today. Over this period, the global and local business environment has prospered and suffered, industry and organisations have grown and retrenched, and against these backdrops, ideas on what approach best yields superior employee/organisational performance has evolved, with HRM the widely supported approach in today’s business environment. The popularity of HRM rose from US theorists in the 1980’s such as Storey, whose “ideal type” of HRM pinpointed 27 differences (Appendixes 1) between the personnel management role, “essentially an administrative support function…perceived as being remote from business performance issues” (Storey, 2007, cited in Beardwell and Claydon, 2010, p. 21) to encompass, “all management decisions and action that affect the nature of the relationship between the organisation and its employees”. (Beer et al, 1984, cited in Armstrong, 2009) The argument to support this approach has been...

...ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR Assignment 1 This essay will deeply look at the organisational structure and culture and It will compare and contrast different organisational structures and culture analysing the relationship between an organisations’ structure and the consequences on business performances. Finally it will analyse the factors which influence individual behaviour at work. Organisational Structure First of all, an organisational structure refers to how an organisation has Hierarchical subordinates of persons concerned to achieve the same goal. The culture of an organisation can be described as the value, attitudes and beliefs of people within an organisation. The structure and the culture of the organisation reflects the aims and strategies to be accomplished. Formal and Informal organisation In order to have control of an organisation’s performance, an organisation would have some type of deliberate organisational structure. This is called a formal organisation; Structures are clearly organised by dividing departments, level of authority, responsibility and communication line. On the other hand, there are informal organisations. An Informal organisation does not have a specific structure or a planned division of responsibility and this type of organisations can be seen within formal organisations.

...Managing Change in a Contemporary Organisation At the beginning of the 21st century the forms of change within organisations have been innovatory and a widespread conviction has arisen as to the revolutionary nature to such changes as a sign of the times, (Pettigrew & Massini, 2003). While Tushman & O’Reilly III (1996) argue that the industry level of studies has not been helpful in illustrating the path of organisation’s change, Greiner (1972) outlines a corporate growth model in order to provide a useful framework in understanding organisational change. Psychologists believe that learning as a human behaviour can be defined as the relatively permanent change in actions as a result of experience or practice, (Baars, 1986). Reflecting and highlighting this concept in relation to an organisation it is subsequently essential to look at organisational change from a historical perspective as organisations learn from their own experiences. Thus innovations in terms of evolutionary and revolutionary change occur at each organisational growth level as determined by Greiner (1972). To answer these fundamental questions about the nature of organisational change it is vital to distinguish between two levels of change. Similarly the factors that directly influence organisational behaviour and organisational features that determine these factors should be examined in turn need to be considered. In line with Greiner’s (1972) theory each of the organisational elements and processes are shaped...

...well known approaches to human resource management. The 'best fit' perspective claims that HR strategy become more and more efficient when it is linked to its environment of the business. It explores the close link between strategic management and HRM by assessing the extend to which there is a vertical integration between an organisation business strategy and its HRM policies and practices. 'Best practice' school claims that certain 'best' human resource practices would result in enhanced organisational performance, manifested in improved employee attitude, lower level of absenteeism and turnover, higher level of skills for higher productivity, enhanced quality and efficiency. That is why the 'best practice' model is also referred as high commitment models. These two concepts are generally described within the literature but it is sometimes difficult to stretch the specifications of each approach. This essay will attempt to fill that gap. Section two compares these concepts according to human resource studies. It will highlight areas of agreement between each approach. Section three therefore stretches the differences between 'best fit' and 'best practice' approaches. We now try to discuss in section four the approach taken in this debate by the CIPD. Concluding elements are found in section five. The terms 'best fit' and 'best practice' are used in strategic human resource management literature. The 'best fit' approach to strategic human resource management (HRM) explores...
