represent personality of each individual. Besides the physical workplace, employee behavior
is also important. The people in the office stand out among the majority of national
businesses. based on goals, mission, or beliefs shared by the team. In an organization, it is
clear that there is a founder or a born leader who will rise up in the organization.
Organizations are created because these people have common goals or ideas that require
working collaboratively to achieve those desired goals. Typically, a founder recruits and
engages people with similar goals as the leader. As the organization grows, individuals adapt
their behavior to fit the organization.
Individuals in the organization may initially disagree with the decisions made by the leader,
but once individuals see and understand how the decisions help the organization, they often
agree. with the leader and the rest of the group. However, for a small organization that
closely aligns with the leader's ideals, the adjustment period will be quite short As an
individual tends to adapt and learn about their environment in order to fit in, culture tends
to be against money. Socialization is powerful for an organization. It ensures that the core
values and standards of the organization are conveyed to new hires. Socialization creates a
framework for new employees to react to the environment and interact with other
employees . If an individual feels they do not fit in with the culture, they are likely to leave
the organization. By attracting people who are not representative of the culture, culture
itself reinforces the social model that allows it to develop resistance to change and external
influences For those who stay in the organization, socialization processes encourage
employee values and beliefs that are closely linked to the organizational culture. By aligning
the value.

They participate in strategic cooperation in the business world.In collaboration with
other organizations, however, organizations must understand how learning may occur in
such formal inter-organizational setups and the many modalities to promote understanding
to realize the full potential of such connections. At the 'knowledge acquisition,' 'information
dissemination,' and 'information interpretation' stages of an organization's learning process,
receptive capacity and motivation to absorb revealed or created knowledge are also
required for gaining out of shared understanding.
