These collective senses build the base of culture of an organization. Besides, Organizational culture, the
employee experience, is a steady setting for every organization’s daily operations
Culture is a prior set up, the employees had to mould their nature of their job performance according to it.
According to (Weiner & Vardi, 1990), Culture of an organization is considered as a whole system of
shared values which produces normative pressures on employees. Therefore, it is a unique influence on
individuals' motivation is to enhance members' commitment, which acts jointly with instrumental
motivation to influence individuals' behavior.

ideology. Every organization holds different ways of expressing behavior within organization; it
represents an organization’s individuality. Secondly, culture issues a whole guideline of an employee, to
