Abstract
This chapter explores the critical significance of development and training initiatives in molding and impacting an organization's culture. Organizational culture significantly influences employee satisfaction and motivation, making training programs crucial for fostering and harmonizing cultural values. In this analysis, the authors explore the theoretical underpinnings of organizational culture and evaluate its influence on the conduct and productivity of employees. Then, they investigate various development and training strategies that can influence, reinforce, or effectively transform corporate culture. Practical insights and real-world case studies demonstrate organizations' effective utilization of training initiatives to advance their intended cultural attributes. This chapter emphasizes the significance of ensuring that training initiatives align with the organization's overarching cultural objectives and the possible influence this may have on employee commitment and motivation.
