Analysis of Organizational Culture
Introduction:
Organizational culture is the foundation of any company. The culture is unique to all companies and is set by the founders of the organization. Organizational culture is defined as “a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations.” In many instances the stated organizational culture may not coincide with the values that are being enacted by the company.
Organizational Culture: Employee of the month (2006)
Employee of the Month was my movie selection. This movie was a good laugh, a light-hearted comedy about the common American workplace displaying the effects and influence of motivation within the context of organizational culture. Zach Bradley is the main character who is a witty fellow drowning in a pool of under-achievement, doing enough to just get by because he has nothing better to do.
When a new employee, Amy (Jessica Simpson), hits the scene carrying the reputation for falling for guys who top the list as Employee of the Month, Zach seizes the opportunity to take his performance to whole new level. Zach battles it out with his co-worker nemesis, Vince, who is up for the challenge. The movie is full of pranks and surprises, and does a good job of illustrating the power and effects of motivation. Also, I think the movie gives a good snapshot of the organizational culture of a common American workplace, and how it affects different employees in different ways. I really enjoyed the movie for what it’s worth and was able to get some valuable insights into concepts, such as organization objectives and organization values, and how they interact and affect organizational culture.
The Employee of The Month movie has many core values shown in the movie. The values include motivation, competition, story-telling,
