As mentioned in class 19 and also in Yifang Liu’s blog, organizational culture is significant to all the companies because organizational culture promotes all the employees to work efficiently and makes them willing to devote to the company.

Remembering the video we watched in class about the working environment in Zappos, I am so surprised that everyone in Zappos is so happy and satisfied. Certainly, workers are willing to work which makes work more efficient in this way. Besides, from Yifang Liu’s blog, which is about the organizational culture in Google, I know more about it. Google makes all employees feel free while working with always free drinks and food.  Apart from this basic welfare, Google also encourages people to state their own opinions and share information with others. With smaller amount of middle and top managers, workers feel more relaxed to communicate with the managers and voice their opinions. All of these make an open and relaxing atmosphere.

There’s no doubt that a lot of people want to work for Google because of its organizational culture. In addition, the culture also helps Google keep great employees.  In this kind of virtuous cycle, Google is able to choose the employees it wants at first because it can attract a lot of candidates. Then it can also keep the elites for the sustainable development of the company.
