top level of management as they are the only one who influence others throughout the
organization. This culture has some rules and regulations such as the people who have the power
will take the decisions for the company. Decision taken in this culture are quick which
sometimes creates consequences such as judging the employees on their achievements rather
than their way of working or their approach. This culture is the strongest culture if not implied
properly then it can make the environment of the organization toxic. (Osland, Devine and
Turner, 2015)
Role Culture-
This culture strictly tells the organization to follow each and every rule. Every employees
in the organization is told clearly about their rules and regulations and what are their roles and
responsibilities. Power in this culture is taken out by the position of the person. These structures
are build tall with a chain of command which is very long. Drawback of this culture is that it is
very slow and tends to avoid taking risks.
Task Culture-
This culture is solely formed by an organization so that they can find a solution to a
specific problem. Effectiveness of this culture depends on the performance of the team. If the
team which have been assigned for the task have the skills qualities which are required for the
job then they can figure out a way which will be creative and productive for the organization.
Person Culture-
