    BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

    Corporate Culture at WestJet


    1. Define how organizational culture manifests in an organization.

    The corporate culture is what identifies the way of being of a company and is
    manifested in the forms of action to the problems and opportunities for
    management and adaptation to changes and requirements of external order
    and interior, which are internalized as beliefs and groups and moods that are
    transmitted to new members as a way of thinking, living and acting taught.
    The organizational culture in an organization has four basic principles that may
    be part, not only for the company but also for those people who compose it.
    a. The sense of purpose: is maintained over the time and has to raise a sense of
    aspiration of the organization. Both the current situation and, above all, in the
    future. To guide our actions toward that end, we need to set a milestone, being
    also the northern long term, we emplace in more concrete terms in a timely
    manner. That is why we must formulate the mission of the organization.

    b. The mission: includes a synthesized form higher order objectives. Abstraction


    translates the philosophy contained in purpose and trigger a tangible project
    that advances the organization and focuses its efforts. It constitutes both
    sincere and heartfelt expression of the deepest desires that people seek in their
    work.

    c. Values: are the cores of every business culture because they provide a sense
    of common direction to all the people who make up the company and guidelines
    to their daily work lines. The values in which espouses define the basic nature
    of the organization and create a sense of identity in it.

    d. The General Policies: global lines of action of the company in various areas,
    typically related to management systems.

    2. The challenges in maintaining culture as organizations grow in


    scale. How strong cultures are created and maintained.

    The organization hires people who apparently adapt to the organizational


    culture; then, the organization maintains its culture dismissing employees
    sustained or obviously deviates from accepted behaviour and activities.
    However, the specific methods to maintain the organizational culture are much
    more complex than just hiring the right people and dismiss those that do not fit
    together.
    It is essential that companies pay much attention to the conversations that are
    generated inside, both formal and informal. From senior executives to the core
    staff, we must ensure constantly redirect the discussions so that they are
    aligned with the culture we want. A practical example of this is not raise his
    voice when someone complains, justify or talk bad about others, but rather,
    respectfully, we call the person and direct it towards other conversation. In this
    sense, it is extremely important that the heads and leaders are a constant
    example of the culture they want to create and promote. In addition to technical
    skills and experience it is necessary for people that you contract are filtered
    regarding its cultural fit with the company. On the other hand, one should fire
    someone if it detects that the person does not show interest in the behaviours
    aligned with the desired culture.
    As appreciate in the WestJet culture the cases to maintain the culture over time
    are reinforced by the actions of managers, which raised the mission and the
    values it wanted to convey, making everyone who worked to put them into
    practice

    3. How culture impacts performance.


    Companies that have a good performance care factors that make their
    employees happy, committed to work more connected with the overall results
    and more motivated to make greater contributions. With these words we can
    agree that as happened in WestJet, organizations with a good established
    culture, well defined, they ensure the growing of themselves. This we have
    been able to see from the above points in general terms that reflect the culture
    of an organization and in particular the Canadian airline.

    of

    organizational

    culture

    and

    its

    impact

    on

    organizational behaviour.

    The organizational culture is important and helps us to detect problems within


    the organization and offers possible solutions to these problems. So that; one
    can support us for the integration of personnel under objectives of the
    organization (under the mission of this). It also helps us to form work teams
    within the organization that can interact and make the job easier. We aimed to
    find the staff needs to meet them in the best way possible, so that they feel
    motivated in your workplace.
    Individual

    behaviour

    depends

    on

    the

    interaction

    between

    personal

    characteristics and surrounding environment; the originality of a person is


    expressed through behaviour and individuality of organizations it can be
    expressed in terms of culture. The continuous training of the company is key to
    supporting the creation of a sense aimed at strengthening the commitment of
    the staff towards the company, changing attitudes and encouraging
    communication, understanding and integration of persons program element.
    When the culture of an organization is well supported by its values, it is
    intended that all members of this develop identification purposes and deploy
    strategic development behaviours and self-motivation.
