  6. HWB culture? We can think of culture as the accumulated shared learning of a given group, covering behavioral, emotional, and cognitive elements of the group members’ total psychological functioning. For such shared learning to occur, there must be a history of shared experience that, in turn, implies some stability of membership in the group. Given such stability and a shared history, the various shared elements to form into patterns that eventually can be called a culture. Edgar Schein 2004

  7. Culture formation Group

  8. Major concepts (associated with culture) • Observed behavioral regularities in interactions (language, rituals) • Group norms • Espoused values • Formal philosophy • Rules of the game • Climate • Embedded skills • Habits of thinking, mental models and/or linguistic paradigms • Shared meanings • “Root metaphors” or integrating symbols • Culture implies structural stability and patterning or integration

  9. Thoughts for the day • There are areas that are outside your control • Externalities matter (e.g. Income disparities only matter if you are poorer Oishi, Kesebir & Diener 2011) • Treat employees as adults • When you make promises, Keep them • Have discipline of Job design, workload planning • Designer culture – caution, but if you must identify and engage opinion leaders (Rogers, 2003)
