To willingness to get the job done effectively and efficiently, the individuals and employee have been highly motivated. It results in business owners and employees satisfaction, increased revenues and increased the productivity of the company. Without regard for efficiency or productivity, employees with the lowest motivation will be tend to work slower.

Organisational culture also plays an important role in an organisation or company. A culture is social control system and it sanctions “wrong” behaving and thinking and reinforces and promotes “right” behaving and thinking.

All the employees can bring on the common platform by the organizational culture. It results that no one would feel left out or neglected in the workplaces. The organisational culture had united the employees which is from different races or backgrounds. A sense of unity had gave at the workplaces from the cultures in an organisation.
