Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Organizational culture is the shared values, principles, traditions, and ways of doing things that influence the way organizational members act. In most organizations, these important shared values and practices have evolved over time and determine, in large degree, what employees perceive about their organizational experiences and how they behave in the organization. When doing their work, the organizational culture  the way we do things around here  influences what employees can do and how they view, define, analyze, and resolve problems and issues.
Our definition of culture implies three things. First, culture is a perception. Individuals perceive the organizational culture on the basis of what they see, hear, or experience within the organization. Second, even though individuals may have different backgrounds or work at different organizational levels, they tend to describe the organization's culture in similar terms. That's the shared aspect of culture. Finally, organizational culture is descriptive. It's concerned with how members perceive the organization, not with whether they like it. It describes rather than evaluates.
