Organization is made up of people. These people make up the culture and the environment of the organization. The values and behavior have the major contribution towards the culture of an organization. It is basically how the organization 'do things'. The organizational culture depicts the set of shared beliefs and values that comes under the company's umbrella. This is how the workers perceive the implicit assumption of reacting towards the different environment.

During 1970s, it was found in research done through surveys of organizational climate that organizational culture is a mean to understand the attitudes and beliefs of employees about their organizations (Haneberg, 2009, p.p 3-7). The culture consists of what is being valued, the language and symbols, leadership styles, routines and procedures, and the success definition that identifies an organization. It is derived from the aim and purpose, past and present ways to manage resources and people. Every organization differs from one another in terms of features thus will have a unique culture. It is important to analyze the culture of an organization as it has an impact on everything that the organization does and its people. The purpose of the study is to analyze how the culture has an effect on the organization and its employees.
