Impact of organizational culture on the management of HR
Figure 1: Strategic Human
Resource Management
Developing a good corporate culture necessitates considerable effort
on the part of human resources (HR) managers because of the increasing number
of mergers and acquisitions in the twenty-first century. As human resources
professionals must establish a company culture that accommodates these
developments it is important to consider as many unique areas as possible to
successfully cultivate a positive working environment (Nasir, 2017).
Figure 2: HRM Organizational culture
A few of the unique areas under the concept of culture are as visually
illustrated. These are considered the generally spoken and looked into areas
under the vast topic of organizational culture. However, with the ever so
evolving societies, new concepts are now on the rise as fields deeply connected
with the human resource of an organization. A few of such topics are discussed
below,
Essence of People
Increasing labor market participation and equality for historically
disadvantaged groups, including ethnic minorities and people with a disability
are the current most focused areas of HR (Aires, 2018). With the growing
awareness and understanding the general public gets of the ethnic minorities
and individuals with disabilities, the more they are willing to accept them as
a part of society. It was quite evident in the past that they were often looked
down upon, faced with racial discrimination, and bullied for reasons that are
beyond them. Now there are many acceptance groups and ongoing movements to
bring awareness along with special talent acquisition to those who are being
judged to have a chance to make an earning. Especially the differently-abled
individuals and individuals with impairments such as down syndrome and autism
are now engaging in jobs that fit their lifestyles (International Labour
Organization, 2010).
Building up the women empowerment
Figure 3: women empowerment
Aiding to this the slow increase in women’s participation in
traditionally male-dominated high-status work has similarly shown to be a
strategy for the HR field (Stamarski and Son Hing, 2015). The relevance of
cross‐national research for understanding gender stereotypes and pathways to
reduce gender inequality is currently being discussed largely by many. There
could be certain differences between the capabilities of a man and a woman
which would determine the status of working capabilities however the main focus
which can be taken is the women who did not participate in many employment have
now taken the initiative to step out and work in the labor force (Chung and van
der Lippe, 2018). The perfect example which we could see of this in the Sri
Lankan context is the recently appointed first female DIG.
Conclusion
Organizational culture has a huge impact on
human resource practices by encouraging organizations to invest in, grow, and
renew their employees (Chan, Shaffer and Snape, 2004). It is possible that a
versatile corporate culture can help human resource management practices by
broadening opportunities for employee growth and offering them independence and
responsibility and authority, while a participatory culture emphasizes
cooperation, interactions, and honesty, all of which encourage employees to
join forces on challenges. The consequences of human resource management when
procedures are aligned with corporate culture may be optimized. Organizational
culture may be used by leaders to facilitate and disseminate sound human
resource practices and methods (Osibanjo and Adeniji, 2013).

This is critical not only to recruit new employees, but also to keep existing ones. One of the most important measures of employee satisfaction is an organization's culture. good article
