People in every workplace talk about organizational culture, that mysterious word that characterizes the qualities of a work environment. One of the key questions and assessments, when employers interview a prospective employee, explores whether the candidate is a good cultural fit. Culture is difficult to define, but you generally know when you have found an employee who appears to fit your culture.

 

Culture is the environment that surrounds you at work all of the time. Culture is a powerful element that shapes your work enjoyment, your work relationships, and your work processes. But, culture is something that you cannot actually see, except through its physical manifestations in your work place.

 

In many ways, culture is like personality. In a person, the personality is made up of the values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, interests, experiences, upbringing, and habits that create a person’s behavior.

Culture is made up of the values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people. Culture is the behavior that results when a group arrives at a set of - generally unspoken and unwritten - rules for working together.

 

An organization’s culture is made up of all of the life experiences each employee brings to the organization. Culture is especially influenced by the organization’s founder, executives, and other managerial staff because of their role in decision making and strategic direction.

Culture is represented in a group’s:

  1. language,

  2. decision making,

  3. symbols,

  4. stories and legends, and

  5. daily work practices.

Organizational Culture is the perceived inaction of a company's values, beliefs and motivations. 
There are a couple things I'd point out for why I use this definition: First off, I chose the word "perceived" because you would be very hard pressed to find a unanimous description of any company's culture.
Actual culture is the sum of perceptions of the stakeholders involved.
Second, people aren't really observing culture within an organization, rather, they are observing the interplay between what the company values (both intrinsically and extrinsically), what the company believes to be true, and what motivates the company (or what keeps the company running - i.e.
profits, production, sales, growth, etc.).
 I believe this definition really unpacks why organizational culture is such an elusive topic; because it is so permeable and changing, it is hard to nail down the current status of an organization's culture and really understand the nuances that lie within.
