Literature review

Hofsed (2002) says this, Organizational culture is that set of beliefs, values, work styles and relationships that distinguish one organization from another. Paul (1999) says that the organizational culture of any company is usually based on the psychological outcomes and this enables us know the way the employees think of the company and how their decision making process is going to be affected by the culture of the organization. This culture also affects the internal policies of the organization and also influences the level of commitment of the employees towards the achievement of the companys goals, objectives, mission and vision. Bolton (2002) points out that this culture is either increase or decrease the efforts which an employee is putting are serving a customer. If the culture is good, then the employee will do everything to make sure that the customer experience and satisfaction is great so he or she can come back again. However, if the culture is awful, the employees will be less committed and they are not going to be committed in their jobs. Robins (2010) says that, If organizational culture creates problems like difficulties in changes, create barriers to diversity then Cultures of that organization is liability for that organization
