Organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that actively influence the behavior of an organization (Ott, 1989). Five primary components of organizational culture are: 1) values (the foundation for the organization, guide behavior, and express the organization's philosophy), 2) relative diversity (by having an organizational culture, some degree of similarity is assumed, but the amount of deviation from this similarity can differ), 3) resource allocation and reward (distribution of monies and resources lets people know what and who is valued in the organization), 4) degree of change (fast-paced organizations differ from slower-paced ones and how they react to change), and 5) strength of culture (how much influence the culture exerts).
