Working with others
- Diversity – well coming differences and learning to and live together
- Team spirit – to work together in team
- Involvement and participation – to encourage employees to take part in organizational decision making.
- Climate for action – to bring cultural shifts needed to motivate, empower, and align employees behind the strategy.
How Haramaya University can develop these cultural values and beliefs? The values and norms that are the basis of organizational culture are formed in four ways.
- Leaders in the university. Schein (1990) indicates that people identify with visionary leaders – how they behave and what they expect. They note what such leaders pay attention to and treat them as role models.
- Culture is formed around critical incidents – important events from which lessens are learnt about desirable or undesirable behavior.
- Furnham and Gunter (1993) proposed that culture develops from the need to maintain effective working relationships among organizations members and this establishes values and expectations.
- Culture is influenced by the organizations environment. Ability to manage the working environment effectively is a plus towards developing values and beliefs in the university.
Finally, the reigning values and beliefs in an organization must support the performance of its system. In addition, the management system should primarily shape employee’s values and beliefs – the issues and concerns that people in the organization think are important and to which they pay attention significant attention.
