EVALUATION OF CURRENT ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

Evaluation of current organizational culture is highly important and in this way we get to know about the firm culture and then can take any kind of action. We should be clear at this stage that there is no fixed rule to evaluate the current organizational culture but there are few things through which we can evaluate the current organizational culture. This is merely based on observation. Here before we describe evaluating current culture we need to understand that what are the elements that make culture of any firm? These elements are as follows;

Ø  Employees.

Ø  Size of the firm.

Ø  Nature of the business.

Ø  Leadership.

Ø  Management.

Ø  Plans.

Ø  Policies.

Ø  Mission.

Ø  Objective etc.

These things together make the culture and to evaluate current culture we need to evaluate them. Current culture can be evaluated by looking the employees and the ways they handle the problems and conflicts within the organization. Their participation level and the level of their working together also contribute in evaluating current culture. Culture can also be evaluated by evaluating employees’ performances in pointing out and resolving problems.  We can also observe it by observing the reward and punishment system or policy of the firm. Culture can also be evaluated by looking the innovative or creative level of the firm, company’s response, action and support for new ideas. We can also evaluate it by looking at the company’s efforts towards delivering values and norms. The best way to evaluate is to check the company’s behavior towards dealing with employees on different issues. We can also check it by the company’s hiring and firing process. What are the ways company hires or fires someone? We can also check it by evaluating the company’s behavior with old employees and offering incentives during and after job. All these things together make culture and actually their evaluation is the evaluation of the current culture of the organization.
