Explain the characteristics of a positive organizational culture

What will be an ideal response?

A positive organizational culture emphasizes building on employee strengths, rewards more than it punishes, and emphasizes individual vitality and growth.
a) Building on employee strengths: Although a positive organizational culture does not ignore problems, it does emphasize showing workers how they can capitalize on their strengths.
b) Rewarding more than punishing: Although most organizations are sufficiently focused on extrinsic rewards such as pay and promotions, they often forget about the power of smaller (and cheaper) rewards such as praise.
c) Emphasizing vitality and growth: No organization will get the best from employees who see themselves as mere cogs in the machine. A positive culture recognizes the difference between a job and a career. It supports not only what the employee contributes to organizational effectiveness but also how the organization can make the employee more effective—personally and professionally.
