Applying Schein’s culture model to to describe company culture and explaining the meanings of each factor that are relevant to business 4 2.1Schein’s culture model
Explaining the meanings of each factor that are relevant to business
To create a famous brand that brings a fresh space to the lives of customers, LUMIÈRE always has certain elements that are suitable for business Firstly, every company has its own slogan in order to create a powerful and everlasting brand The slogan acts as a firm promise that companies will always provide customers with the greatest, best quality as well as a firm affirmation of the end in the company We have a healthy message to communicate with our tagline "Wrap yourself in wool and feel the love" from LUMIRE By utilizing this tagline, we pledge to conveying to our consumers the thought that we could wrap each of your hearts in soft cotton wool to protect you from the pain that this could potentially cause, while also bringing natural beauty and warmth to everyday life Love is like a fleece that wraps around us Then, out of love for love, we are ready to assist and devote our hearts to care for those who are less fortunate In addition, we also try to design products that decorate our clients' homes Along with that is the operating motto of putting customers at the top and crucial positions of the organization So all of the items that LUMIRE supplies are not just current things that provide revenues to businesses, but they are also emotional values, customer happiness, and customer satisfaction, which is LUMIRE's ultimate goal.
Secondly, when starting a business, a logo is essential since it serves as both a brand identification for customers and a symbol for business As can be seen that the primary hue of the LUMIÈRE logo is pastel pink A pastel pink has a delicate tone that is a neutral color in the color palette. This color comes between coral and peach in the palette and is composed of 85% soft yellow and 15% violet When customers look at the logo, they will notice that the pastel pink color has a tiny pinkish tint, and that there is a lot of white color paired with the dark color of the business name to create incredibly spectacular and eye-catching effects that captivate spectators It always radiates positive energy because it is a color that represents compassion, sympathy, and positive energy, and it is incredibly hopeful.
Next is mission – “Brings simple but beautiful products, with smart and convenient design Create products that exactly address the needs of your customers, becoming a trusted friend in your life.” With many years of experience in the wool industry, as well as a supplier of products, LUMIÈRE believes that it will be the guide for works of art to reach their true owners to satisfy their own taste In addition, we make every effort to supply home decor items that contribute to a modern, contemporary, and stylish living and working environment We constantly make different promises for each object in order to preserve the business and ensure corporate social responsibility To begin with, we are constantly committed to supplying high-quality things to our customers Second, for partners, we will build a rapport built on trust,respect, and cooperation in order to achieve long-term growth Furthermore, the organization will create a pleasant, professional, dynamic, and creative work environment for employees, allowing everyone to fulfill their full potential Finally, for society, we are continuously cognizant that the benefits of LUMIÈRE are also tied to social benefits, and that LUMIÈRE has a responsibility to the community to engage in activities that develop society.
Employees are always regarded as valuable assets at LUMIRE, and the company strives to incorporate every viewpoint and suggestion expressed by its employees to the best of its ability Before creating the uniform policy, we conducted a survey of all firm employees to determine whether they should wear uniforms to work As a result, up to 80% of the company's employees refuse to wear uniforms to work. Although uniforms will not be required for office personnel, sales salespeople at the stores will be obliged to wear them in order to demonstrate their expertise Employees will have more freedom to express themselves and will no longer be confined to a uniform When employees arrive at work in the same outfit every day, we don't want them to have a poor perception of the organization An 8-hour workday, exposed to so many people, looking at so many faces, but also forcing the eye to look at the same clothes, so crowded and frustrating. Although uniforms are not compulsory, the corporation expects its employees to dress modestly in order to reflect the organization's professionalism.
Finally, the workplace plays a vital role in fostering employee creativity Businesses in the service business that require innovation are continuously on the lookout for new ideas from their employees However, it is difficult to maintain creativity when employees are obliged to work continuously in a constrained, uninspiring environment According to the 2014 Gallup Global Workplace Report, 51% of individuals polled reported feeling alienated from their employer, with the workplace being regarded as the primary factor (VietNamNet, 2021) Because of this, we created the most cutting-edge and lovely working environment for our staff using the primary colors pink and white All of the hues were chosen to celebrate the company's luxurious, unrelenting innovation The Lumiere firm also made the decision that the space would be
"expanded" right away and that there would be enough room for workers to imagine flying far and wide (VietNamNet, 2021) Most businesses set their ceilings too low, giving the appearance that the area is crowded Lighting is also important The company will employ as much natural light as possible, which will improve workers' vision and minimize eye strain Employees will be able to retain their focus at work and contribute to the alignment of their vision.
Potential impacts of Power and Culture on achieving organisational goals and influence employee behaviour and performance
Potential impacts of Power on achieving organisational goals and influence employee behaviour and performance
Researchers that research leadership and corporate governance agree that power is a necessary condition for effective leadership and attempt to understand the relationship between power and how it is used Making use of the leader's authority to improve organizational performance and growth Power, as defined by Clark (2007), is the ability to exercise influence on subordinates; without power, leaders and managers will be unable to achieve organizational goals (Bebchuck et al., 2006) Power may help organizations achieve their goals by improving decision-making processes and enabling effective collaboration According to French et al., (1959), power gives people the ability to influence others and make decisions that are in line with organizational goals Leaders who possess legitimate power, derived from their formal authority within the organization, can effectively direct resources, allocate tasks, and coordinate efforts to achieve desired outcomes (Yukl, 2013).
However, when power is exploited or abused, it can have undesirable repercussions According to Keltner et al (2003), people in positions of authority are more likely to engage in unethical behavior, disrespect the interests of others, or put self-interest over organizational goals This abuse of power can result in conflicts, decreased employee engagement, and a drop in overall organizational performance (Grint, 2010) InLUMIÈRE, for example, if the boss abuses his power to mistreat and penalize workers, they will feel unrespected and will doubt their competence and style They are dissatisfied with their current job and workplace, as well as the leaders of their superiors Employee morale will deteriorate, productivity will fall, and the company's goals will be missed If these things continue, quality will also suffer, and the business will then encounter a number of negative circumstances, including the loss of potential partners, lost revenue, and loss of reputation with customers, (Schaubroeck et al., 2011).
Furthermore, power asymmetries within an organization might obstruct objective achievement Pfeffer (1992) conducted research that demonstrates the possible harmful impact of power imbalances on employee collaboration and cooperation Individuals with low power may feel disempowered and less likely to contribute their skills and knowledge to accomplishing organizational goals when power is unequally allocated This can stymie innovation, knowledge sharing, and overall corporate success To counteract the possible negative effects of authority, LUMIÈRE always fosters an ethical leadership culture, encourages open communication, and promotes collaborative decision-making processes (Sinha et al., 2017) Organizations can exploit power dynamics in ways that correspond with corporate goals and improve overall performance by empowering people, fostering collaboration, and promoting openness.
Employee conduct can be influenced by power by influencing their thoughts and attitudes Employees may adapt their conduct based on the perceived power of their bosses or leaders, according to social exchange theory (Cropanzano et al., 2005) Employees are more likely to demonstrate positive job behaviors, such as increased commitment and engagement, when they believe their supervisors to have legitimate power and fair treatment (Podsakoff et al., 2000) Furthermore, power dynamics might have an impact on employee performance According to research, when employees believe their supervisors to have expert power coming from their knowledge and competence, it can improve employee performance (Yukl, 2013) Employees may be more likely to seek assistance and help from supervisors with appropriate knowledge, resulting in better performance outcomes.
On the other side, abusive use of power can have a negative impact on employee behavior and performance When leaders engage in abusive behavior, such as bullying or harassment, it produces a bad work atmosphere that damages employee well-being and performance (Tepper,2007) Abusive supervision can lead to decreased job satisfaction, motivation, and lower levels of organizational citizenship activities (Tepper et al., 2006) Furthermore, power asymmetries can lead to employee conformity rather than genuine devotion to company goals According toWang et al (2005), when employees view their supervisors to have coercive authority, resulting from their ability to penalize or impose negative consequences, it might lead to compliance-based behavior Employees may comply with directives out of fear of punishment rather than genuine commitment, which can limit their creativity and proactive contributions.
Potential impacts of Culture on achieving organisational goals and influence employee behaviour and performance
Some of Lumiere's main objectives are organic growth, quick innovation, growing market share, and portfolio management, and attaining these objectives depends on the company's corporate culture Workers who feel linked to the company's culture are more likely to create positive relationships with their coworkers and perform well Trust is the foundation of successful relationships, and LUMIÈRE is dedicated to building it.
A cooperative culture that promotes shared values, supports common goals, and builds connections is the characteristic of an effective culture(Cameron et al., 2011) Poor communication and a lack of cooperation, on the other hand, can lead to mistakes, holdups, and inefficiency.LUMIÈRE has an excellent R&D team that makes high-quality candle goods and home décor items to allow clients to enjoy luxurious lives and unwind after long, stressful days Targeted innovation is the cornerstone of all other procedures, and the company's innovation initiatives are focused on offering clients high-quality products at reasonable prices.
The bulk of today's workforce is made up of Generation Z, and they place a great value on clear connections at work Companies must prioritize cultivating a sense of respect for each employee's unique qualities and abilities Employee satisfaction boosts retention and has a positive impact on corporate culture According to Glassdoor's research, 77% of employees will examine a company's culture before applying for a job, and 56% say that business culture is more important than monthly compensation (GapoWork, 2023) Culturally appropriate experiences, such as coworker relationships and the office environment, act as motivators for the team to stay with the firm Making the system user-friendly requires the use of online communication technologies that encourage teamwork and improve cross-cutting communication across the entire company Employees can feel assured that their leaders are prepared to manage requests from any department (Kozlowski et al., 2013).
A company's organizational culture has the potential to greatly influence employee behavior and performance A strong and positive culture can influence employee attitudes, actions, and job outcomes, thus influencing the organization's overall success The norms, attitudes, and beliefs that influence employee conduct are established by organizational culture (Schein, 2010) Employees who have a sense of belonging to the culture are more likely to demonstrate actions that are congruent with the desired cultural norms Employee involvement, motivation, and dedication to company goals can all benefit from this alignment (Denison, 1990) Positive cultural norms and values can build a supportive work atmosphere where collaboration, cooperation, and teamwork thrive (Cameron et al, 2011) A culture that supports information exchange,innovation, and creativity can lead to improved levels of performance and production (Edmondson, 1999) Employees that feel psychologically safe within the culture are more inclined to take chances, share ideas, and participate in continuous learning and improvement activities
(Edmondson, 1999) Furthermore, a strong culture that fosters ethical behavior and integrity can have a good impact on employee behavior and decision-making (Trevio et al., 2003) When ethical standards are strongly embedded in the culture, employees are more likely to display ethical behavior, which can improve trust, reputation, and stakeholder relationships (Trevio et al., 2003).
On the other hand, a toxic or negative culture can have a negative impact on employee habits and performance Employees may engage in unethical behavior in a culture that tolerates or rewards it, jeopardizing corporate performance (Trevio et al., 2003) A culture that lacks openness, trust, and open communication may stifle collaboration and innovation, resulting in subpar performance (Cameron et al., 2011).
