Working culture is the generally accepted values and norms at the work place, which
control the actions of the employees. It is a powerful element that shapes work
enjoyment, work relationships and work processes. Culture cannot actually be seen

work practices. Especially Organization´s management influence in the organization
culture because they set an example for the employees and give strategic direction.
