Gordan & Cummins (1979)define organizational culture as the drive that recognized the effort and contribution of the organization members and provides a holistic understanding of what and how is to be achieved, how goals are interrelated and how each employee could attach goals. Hosftede (1980)summarized organizational culture as a collective process of the mind that differentiates the member of one group from the other one.

Klein et al (1995)positioned organizational culture as the core of organizational activities which has an aggregate impact on its overall effectiveness and the quality of its products and services. Organizational culture is the set of shared values, belief and norms that influence the way employees think feel and behave in the workplace(Schein,2011). Organizational culture has four functions: Gives members a sense of identity, increase their commitment, reinforces organizational values and services as a central mechanism for shaping behaviour (Nelson &Quick,2011)
