Highlights
Recent studies on organizations suggest that high involvement and high performance organizations have strong work cultures (Peters and Waterman, 1982; Deal and Kennedy, 1982; Sinha, 1990). Frost et al (1985) argued that economic models and assumptions have failed to explain decline in organizational productivity and performance in North America
According to him, restructuring through formation of autonomous work groups, reducing hierarchies, relocation, creating awareness about the existing work culture and acculturation are some of the processes by which a strong work culture can be developed
They suggest that the culture prevailing in an organization and possibly the society to which it belongs can provide greater insight into aspects of organization performance
