Describe each of the four types of work cultures in terms of solidarity and sociability.
What will be an ideal response?
One popular general typology divides organizational culture along two dimensions: solidarity and sociability. Solidarity is the degree to which group members think and act alike, and sociability represents how friendly employees are to one another. Organizations that are low on both dimensions have a fragmented culture in which employees are distant and disconnected from one another. Organizations that have cultures in which employees think alike but are not friendly to one another can be considered mercenary cultures. These types of organizations are likely to be very political, "what's in it for me" environments. Cultures in which all employees are friendly to one another, but everyone thinks differently and does his or her own thing, are networked cultures. Many highly creative organizations have a networked culture. Organizations with friendly employees who all think alike are communal cultures.
