A Study on Organizational Culture and Employee Morale with Special Reference to Selected Private Sector Companies in Ranipet

Abstract

Organizational culture is the collective behavior of employees who form the core of an organization. It is shaped by organization values, visions, norms, working language, systems, and symbol. It also includes beliefs and habits of employees. Employee morale describes the overall outlook, attitude, satisfaction, and confidence that employees feel at work. Employee morale is part of workplace culture and it is important in the company. When workers are happy, they tend to be more efficient because they enjoy their work. It is important that employees are not developing a feeling of work as a burden. Employee morale is determined by organizational culture and how employers treat their workforce. Morale of an employee is developed on the basis of his attitude towards the organization. This study is an attempt to find out the relationship between organization culture and employee morale in Private Sector undertakings of Ranipet, vellore district, Tamilnadu. From the study it was found that the bureaucratic culture is dominant in the Private Sector undertakings. It was found that there is no relationship between culture of the organization and the morale of employees. A variation in morale was found among male and female employees. Level of morale was found to be more for male employees than their female counterpart.
