One of the most important building blocks for a highly successful organization and an extraordinary workplace is - Organizational culture. Every organization has its own culture. Since many employees spend 8-10 hours daily at their workplace, their organizations culture obviously affects both their work lives as well as their personal lives. Organizational culture refers to the beliefs, ideologies, principles and values that the individuals of an organization share.

It shows that the employees of organization under study have very high dependency on their superior and power is not equally distributed in the organization. On the basis of the findings It can be concluded that, culture followed in this organization is more formalized and structured, based on rules and policies and gives moderate level of flexibility, for innovation and development. So it has been recommended to company to create such a culture where employees can grow and develop more and can be risk taker. Also it has been recommended to company to reduce the dependency norms so that employees can take their own decision for day to day tasks.
