Organizational culture is an essential part of human resource management and business development. Comprehensive knowledge in the field of corporate culture may be significantly beneficial in terms of decision-making and leadership.
Pixar’s culture of creativity may serve as a prime example of agile human resource management. As technology develops and business approaches change, human resources are becoming more and more valuable. It may be necessary to provide an individual approach to employees to achieve high creativity and engagement. Therefore, Pixar’s culture of creativity may considerably contribute to my professional and personal development. Collective creativity implies that the key to achieving proposed goals is establishing an appropriate team. I strongly agree with the idea of encouraging feedback and creativity. In some cases, when I work in a team, I focus too much on the objective and try to micromanage every team member. However, Pixar’s example helped me acknowledge that it may be more beneficial to maintain a healthy environment in the team than to focus on the final product. Employees may be the source of valuable information, brilliant ideas, and nontrivial decisions. Hence, it may be needed to provide conditions for such creativity to prosper.
Organizational culture influences the workflow of a corporation in almost every aspect. It has a significant impact on communication, productivity, job satisfaction, and even final product quality. Studying various elements of culture made me understand its importance. Gaining knowledge regarding culture as a system to be managed is highly beneficial. In some cases, organizational culture may introduce norms or attitudes that constrain workers’ opportunities. For example, the boss’s unwillingness to listen to the employees may lead to fear of voicing ideas, which may be profitable. Even though culture may positively affect productivity, it may also harm the workflow in case of poor management. It may be necessary to manage organizational culture carefully in order to prevent such consequences. Moreover, it may be closely linked with employee motivation rates and the company’s mission.
