The role of corporate culture

Corporate culture can guide the value and behavior orientation of the whole enterprise and its members. It is embodied in two aspects: first, it plays a guiding role in the thoughts and behaviors of individual members of enterprises; Second, it plays a guiding role in the overall value orientation and management of enterprises. This is because once the corporate culture of an enterprise is formed, it establishes its own systematic values and norms. If the values and behavior orientation of enterprise members are contrary to the systematic standards of enterprise culture.

2. Constraint function

Corporate culture has a restrictive and normative effect on employees' thoughts, psychology and behavior. The constraint of corporate culture is not a hard constraint of the system, but a soft constraint, which comes from the corporate culture atmosphere, group code of conduct and moral norms of the enterprise. Different spiritual and cultural contents, such as group consciousness, public opinion, customs and fashion, will cause strong group psychological pressure and motivation, make individual behavior conform to the crowd, make enterprise members produce psychological buzz, and then realize self-control of behavior.

Corporate culture is the soul of an enterprise and an inexhaustible motive force to promote its development. It contains very rich contents, and its core is the spirit and values of the enterprise. The values here do not refer to various cultural phenomena in enterprise management, but to the values held by enterprises or employees in enterprises in their business activities.
