Interviewing Project
Introduction
Organizational culture and communication happen to be closely connected as they are interdependent and have a major impact on the operation and performance of the organization. According to Kayworth & Leidner (2014) organizational culture influences the kinds of communication within the organization and the communication within an organization also helps to shape the culture. This paper seeks to determine identify the kinds of communication that shape the organizational culture and how culture shapes communication within Prima Community College. This is done through the use of face-to-face interview with a non-freshman expectant student. The discussion will be done on the premise of interaction with teachers and socialization with fellow students.
Interaction with teachers
The college has a laissez faire-oriented culture that is characterized by academic freedom, inviolable values, and autonomy. These characters impact the connection amid teachers and students, and the communication methods used, and even the content of the message being communicated by teachers to the students. First of all, the interaction with teachers is mainly limited to academic and professional reasons. Given this is an institute if higher education, the culture of the organization is founded on the understanding that students...
As the interviewee states, “…teacher would try to prevent failure by giving study guides…” which is an indication of the respectful culture and interaction which is based on the fact that, the students are adults thus, they are not to be pushed around. The interviewee also states that there is room for independence and that teacher will only help when needed. The input by teachers seems to be more pronounced in training the students for the corporate world after graduating. To ensure students are adequately prepared, they hold mock interviews for training purposes and show the students how to “dress for success.”
Socialization between students
The organization allows for students to interact with each other and engage in social events and groupings freely. Social events students engage in include hanging out together and talking about other topics other the curriculum. In addition, they drink tequila and even have a special handout zone. This would be considered as an opportunity to expand the organizational culture to accommodate each individual student, and allow each student to…
Organizational Communication: Success and Failure Communication with others is an essential and necessary thing everywhere. Students have to communicate with their teachers and classmates and employees have to communicate with their clients and boss. There are many factors that affect how communication goes (American Psychological Association, 2013). The purpose of this essay is a reflection of the successes and failures of real-life organizational communication. The focus will be on a work
Organizational Communications and Trust At the foundation of any successful organization and its communication practices, systems and procedures is a very solid foundation of authenticity, transparency and trust. These three elements must pervade a corporate culture in order for it to attain a high level of performance and continued growth in turbulent times (Birasnav, Rangnekar, Dalpati, 2011). The highest performing companies have created a culture that celebrates and actively promotes organizational
Moreover, they treat the employees with a tremendous amount of respect and look for their input. "Participative leaders allow employees to have input into the organization's decision-making processes" (Ryckman, 2011). Liza and Samuel treat all of their employees as if they are valued. However, the one area where Sammy's Sammies may need to improve in the participative leadership arena is in the treatment of the child-employees. While other employees'
Flexibility, adaptability, and a global mindset cause my organization to behave in a responsive rather than hierarchical fashion. These organizational values conspire to create an organizational culture that respects education, values protocol and is detail-oriented, yet is not such a slave to the rules that it loses sight of human beings. After all, if the rules were absolute, there would not be different government laws and bylaws, depending on the
In this study, the researchers explored the concept of "psychological contract" and how it applies to and potentially determines cultures and sub-cultures that would emerge in organizations. Defining it as "individual beliefs or perceptions concerning the terms of…relationship between the individual and the organization," psychological contracts are identified into the following dimensions: (1) vertical or horizontal, referring to social status and power in "exchange relationships" and (2) individualism and
China, India, and Nigeria have all had difficult relations with the West. But the examples of Bank of America and Wal-Mart show that a nation can put the past behind, if there are sufficient economic incentives to do so, and if the existing organization capitalizes on local strengths, such as a need for jobs, profitable wages for both the local population and the outside organization, and the desire for foreign
