1 What is organizational culture?

Organizational culture is the collective set of assumptions, expectations, and practices that guide how people interact and work in an organization. It reflects the shared vision, mission, and goals of the organization, as well as the norms and rules that govern its operations. Organizational culture can be seen in the symbols, stories, rituals, and artifacts that represent the organization's identity and history. Organizational culture can also be felt in the climate, atmosphere, and mood that affect the motivation, satisfaction, and performance of the employees.

Organizational culture is difficult to define as it is unique to each organization and in addition each organization has a different interpretation of what organizational culture. My experiences of organizational culture have varied and I found that organizations that are large in nature often have values, goals and missions that dictate the standard operating procedures within the organization. As such larger organizations are often less flexile in regards to how they interpret and implement culture, this is due to past organizational experiences which often shape how processes and tasks are completed and in addition this is highlight evidence in situations were change management is being implemented.

In my experience, organisational culture has influenced collaboration positively, but there have been challenges, such as communication barriers. During a project, the organisational culture plays a significant role in shaping team dynamics and decision-making. Adaptability proved crucial in navigating this dynamic. I found that fostering effective communication, both adaptability and team-building initiatives has positively contributed to navigating and influencing the organisational culture.

2 How does communication create organizational culture?

Communication is the primary means by which organizational culture is created, maintained, and changed. Through communication, leaders and employees express and interpret the values, beliefs, and norms that shape the organization's culture. Communication also helps to reinforce and transmit the culture to new members, as well as to external stakeholders and partners. Communication can create a positive or negative organizational culture, depending on the quality, frequency, and style of communication. For example, communication that is open, honest, respectful, and supportive can foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation. On the other hand, communication that is closed, dishonest, rude, and critical can create a culture of fear, conflict, and stagnation.

In my experience at work, communication has been the key driver of organisational culture. Open, honest, and respectful communication fosters trust, collaboration, and innovation, while negative communication can lead to fear, conflict, and stagnation. During a project, the quality and style of communication significantly influenced the team's dynamics. Open communication facilitated a positive culture, enhancing collaboration and problem-solving. I've found that promoting a culture of open, transparent communication is crucial. Encouraging team members to express ideas and concerns freely fosters a healthier organisational culture, ultimately enhancing teamwork and innovation.

Dicen que todo lo que recibe atención crece, y la comunicación interna / corporativa resalta los ejemplos a seguir, los logros, actitudes e iniciativas que se quieren promover. En este sentido, es clave el storytelling: ?por qué X hito es relevante para nuesra organización? ?qué valores se pusieron en juego? ?qué se priorizó? ?qué se sacrificó? Tabién es importante trabajar la confianza y el espíritu de superación, para que los errores o desviaciones no se escondan, sino que se compartan constructivamente, y se transformen en lessons learnt.

3 How does organizational culture affect communication?

Organizational culture also influences how communication is conducted and perceived in an organization. Organizational culture determines the communication channels, media, and formats that are preferred and available in the organization. It also affects the communication norms, expectations, and etiquette that govern how people communicate with each other. For instance, some organizational cultures may encourage informal, direct, and participatory communication, while others may favor formal, indirect, and hierarchical communication. Organizational culture also shapes the communication outcomes, such as the understanding, feedback, and action that result from communication. For example, some organizational cultures may promote clear, constructive, and timely communication, while others may cause ambiguous, destructive, and delayed communication.

In my experience at work, I've observed that organisational culture heavily influences communication styles. The preferred channels, norms, and etiquette vary, impacting the clarity and effectiveness of communication. During a project, the organisation's communication norms became evident. The emphasis on formal, hierarchical communication sometimes led to delays and misunderstandings, highlighting the impact of culture on communication outcomes. I've found that proactively adapting my communication style to align with the prevailing cultural norms enhances clarity and promotes more effective communication within the organisation.

De partida, definir, explícitamente, los rasgos culturales que son funcionales a la organización. Aunque parezca un intangible abstracto, es posible "parametrizar" la cultura; un truco sencillo es pensar dónde nos situamos ante valores opuestos, por ejemplo: ... ?estabilidad o dinamismo? ... ?velocidad o perfección? ... ?jerárquico u horizontal? ... ?atrevido o seguro? Ya comprendiendo el tipo de cultura que se desea, la gran clave es comprometer a las líneas directivas y mandos medios, ya que serán actores clave de traducirla a decisiones y criterios para trabajar de una forma u otra, premiar y reconocer, o reconducir.
