ABSTRACT

This study is done under the obligation for the fulfilment of SIP [Summer Internship

Program] by KLU Business School, for MBA students during summer, 2013, with the title of

the project being ‘Identifying the Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a healthy,

harmonious, and the best work culture for the employees at workplace in Haailand’.

Work culture is of levels of interaction among organizational factors (boundaries,

goals, objective, technology, managerial practices, material and human resources, and the

constraints) and organismic factors (skills, knowledge, needs, and expectations) interact

among themselves at various levels. Over a period of time they develop roles, norms and

values focusing work and is called Work Culture.

This study consists of the aspects which are to be kept in mind while the HR tries to

manage a work culture at his organization, different types of work cultures, how the work

culture affects the employee behavior and his attitude towards the organization, how a work

culture helps develop the organization’s overall growth and progress.

The methodology for my study is a Prescribed Structured Questionnaire with a sample

of 16 employees of Haailand, and categorizing the elements of work culture into 5 categories,

I have studies their behavior on various aspects of these categories. I could come to

understand that the work culture at Haailand is at the best levels, and the efficiency of HR in

creating such work culture has been quite remarkable for an organization of such high level

of employees and operations.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Background:

An amusement park is the more generic term for a collection of rides and other leisure

attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large number of people. an amusement

park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, as it is meant to cater to adults,

teenagers and small children alike.

Amusement parks are the historical precursors to modern theme parks as well as the

more traditional midway arcades and rides at country and state fairs (in the US). Today,

amusement parks have largely been replaced by theme parks, and the two terms are often

used interchangeably. Theme parks are either based on a central theme or, divided into

several distinctly themed areas, or ‘spaces’ as often called. Large resorts, such as Walt

Disney World in Florida (US), actually house several different theme parks in their confines.

Amusement parks evolved from European fairs and pleasure gardens, which were

created for people’s recreation. The oldest amusement park in the world is Bakken(“The

Hill”), at Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen, Denmark, which opened in 1583. In the united

states, the world’s fairs and expositions were another influence on development of the

amusement industry.

The industry is generally divided into five groups: ride parks, themed attractions,

water parks, family entertainment centers and theme parks. Ride parks are similar to the early

amusement parks and are often directed toward teenagers because of their extensive use of

thrill rides. Themed attractions are centered around a principal attraction such as a safari or a

historical site and are targeted toward all ages.

Water parks are parks where water rides and amusements are the primary focus. The

newest segment, family entertainment centers, are games, amusements and attractions

oriented and situated as anchors in retail developments such as malls. And finally there are

theme parks, which are ride and show parks that offer other activities within or around a

specific theme (or multiple themes) like Disney, Six Flags, and the Universal Studios.

Themed parks, a specific type of amusement park, are usually much more intricately themed

to a certain subject or group of subjects than normal amusement parks.

Market Outlook:

Over the coming years, Global Industry analysis predicts the park within a park

concept will become a more evident trend in the global theme parks industry. The majority of

theme parks are expanding to include more hotel rooms and add secondary attractions to

attract more visitors.

Parks are upgrading with investments in new rides, wireless and interactive

technology services for guests (such as RFID badges, Wii, kiosks, etc) and by adding new

zones. These efforts are expected to continue to adopt for virtual reality and simulation

technologies to replicate natural scenarios.

Global Perspective:

It is commonly acknowledged, that Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which opened

in 1955, was the first real theme park. Since then, the theme park industry in the United

States has grown dramatically. Amusement park sales in the US are forecast to grow from

$10.8 billion to $12.9 billion between 2005 and 2009, according to a recent study by Prince

Water House Coopers. That is an average annual growth rate of 3.9 percent, although less

than the 5.5 percent that the industry experienced between 1999 and 2000. More than 328

million people visited amusement parks and attractions in the US in 2004.

The growth of the theme park industry in the US has been followed by development

of the industry elsewhere, in particular Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Europe has

grown in size to approximately $2 billion in current revenue coming from approximately 19

major parks. For instance in the UK some 49.7 million tourists visited theme parks in 2003,

up by 3% on the year before, according to statistics from researcher Euromonitor. The

industry in Europe combined with Middle East and Africa will grow at the rate of about 5

percent per year, reaching $5 billion by 2009, as predicted by Forbes.

The theme park industry in Asia is also in a growth mode. It is estimated that a total

of approximately 35 large parks attract about 71 million visitors, generating a total of nearly

$1.5 billion in revenue. An additional 49 moderate-sized parks generate $350 million in

annual revenue. The total industry has roughly $1.8 billion in annual revenue. Although these

figures are dominated by parks in Japan, there is high growth potential in other parts of the

region, including Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Figures for the Peoples Republic

of China are not included, but China does respect a substantial growth area of developing

themed amusement parks as well.

Indian Amusement Park Industry:

Amusement parks industry in India is more than two decades old and is still at nascent

stage. India’s stint with amusement parks started with opening of Appu Ghar, the first

amusement Park, in 1984. Major expansion happened in 1990s with opening of Essel World

in Mumbai, Nicco park in Chennai, Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, etc. Segmental pyramid

of amusement parks in India is substantially flatter with a preference for smaller parks. This

industry is capital as well as land intensive as large parks require an investment above Rs.

700 million and land of more than 40 acres.

This industry found its roots in India during mid and late 1980s when a few

innovative entrepreneurs took challenge of pioneering few amusement parks in Delhi,

Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The growth in this industry started only in the last decade and

that happened possibly during the advent of globalization when economic potential of the

social capital began to be perceived.

Facts of Indian Amusement Park Industry:

The amusement industry in India is at a growing state currently with more and more

developments happening in this industry all across the country.

The size of the Indian Amusement Park business is estimated to be around Rs. 4000

crores and is estimated to grow by 10% per annum in next couple of years.

The amusement and theme park industry is deemed to be worth Rs. 10000 crores in

India by 2020.

Currently for a population of 1.15 billion in the country, there are only 120

amusement parks and 45 family entertainment centers. This indicates that the growth

of Indian Amusement and Theme Park industry is substantial.

Global leaders in entertainment parks and attractions like Universal Studios, Disney,

Sony and Ripley Entertainment are mulling over investments of billions of dollars in

India considering the vast potential in this region.

The Indian small and big players in the Amusement Industry are looking at the

tremendous growth potential of this Industry in the next 5 years.

Page 11: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

Growth of India’s retail sector had been the main driving force for the amusement

industry in India.

Globally, domestic and international tourists comprise more than 50% of the total

football at popular amusement parks.

Transport corridors like expressways and the Metro line are bringing an increasing

number of people closer to entertainment hubs.

The high growth potential of the industry in highly populated India will boost tourism,

social infrastructural development as well as employment generation. The success and

growth potential of this industry is resulting into the advent of new manufacturers of

amusement parks rides in India.

Robert E Masterson, Chairman of Ripley Entertainment Inc, who visited India for the 13th

IAAPI Amusement Expo said the world’s leading players would set up bases in India within

the next five years.

“The opportunities and challenges are probably the greatest here. All leading players are

quietly planning to enter India, a market where the rate of growth is five times of that of

North America. India is the fastest growing region in the world,” Masterson said.

The Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries (IAAPI) shall organize the

Amusement Expo every year, the 14th edition being scheduled from 5th to 7th February 2014,

at Goregaon, Mumbai, India, which is a three day event to see participation of over 50

exhibitors from Argentina, Belgium, Canada, China, Dubai, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy,

Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, the US and the UK.

IAAPI is the only platform in the country, which recognizes and facilities the small and

big players in the Amusement Industry looking at the tremendous growth potential of this

industry in the next 5 years.

Current trends:-

Amusement parks seek uniform entertainment tax:

The Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries, apex body of the

amusement parks, has sought uniformity in the entertainment tax being imposed by different

states. The Association rules that the exorbitantly charged entertainment tax by some states is

a major impediment in the growth of the industry in these regions. “West Bengal, Punjab and

Gujarat charge entertainment tax at 20%, 40% and 25% respectively, whereas the

entertainment tax rate hovers around 5-15% in majority of the states.

Real Estate companies plans to enter into this market:

Though the unorganized players hold a majority share in the market, the

organized players are also expanding their base. Groups like Nicco Parks, Zee group, Unitech

& Turner and various real estate companies are developing amusement parks in different

regions. The foreign developers are also stepping into the Indian amusement industry through

collaborations with Indian companies.

Growing transportation facilities:

Transport corridors like expressways and the Metro line are bringing an increasing number of

people closer to entertainment hubs. To that extent, they trigger growth of formal means of

entertainment. One major development witnessed in National Capital Region (NCR) over the

last 4-5 years has been the expansion of Delhi Metro line. This process started in central and

western parts of the city and is now on course to link South Delhi and Gurgaon. This has

Page 16: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

16

provided common man with a mode of transport that is both economical and convenient.

While daily journeys like the ones to college or workplace have been simplified the

occasional weekend outing too has been made much simpler as a result of enhanced

connectivity to popular entertainment destinations.

Loyalty Program:

Loyalty programs are structured marketing efforts that rewards, and therefore encourage,

loyal buying behavior – behavior which is potentially beneficial to the firm. Loyalty cards

and membership cards with personalized information add tremendous value to customer

service and strengthen a company’s brand recognition. The plastic card adds prestige to the

card holder and confer benefits to him. Both seller and customer profit from these programs.

V Guard group entered into amusement parks:

V Guard Group of companies, based in Cochin in Kerala, is negotiating with

property owners in Mumbai and Chennai for starting amusement parks. The group, which is

running Veegaland in Cochin and Wonderland near Bangalore, has identified a place near

Chennai to start a water theme and amusement park, but negotiations were still on.

CULTURE : CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Basic Concepts & Definitions:

Culture has been defined differently by various scholars. According to Kroeber and

Kluckholn (1952), Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behaviour

acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human

groups, including their embodiment in artefacts. The essential core of culture consists of

traditional ideas and especially their attached values.

Anthropologist Symington (1983) has defined culture as, “…that complex whole

which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, customs, and capabilities and habits

acquired by a man as a member of society.”

The Indian perspective of culture is given by Sinha (2000) suggests that “Culture

consists of totality of assumptions, beliefs, values, social systems and institutions, physical

artefacts and behaviour of people, reflecting their desire to maintain continuity as well as to

adapt to external demands.”

“The collection of relatively uniform and enduring values, beliefs, customs, traditions

and practices that are shared by an organization’s members, learned by the new recruits and

transmitted from one generation to the next generation.”

- Edgar Schein.

“….the elements that define a healthy work environment [include] collegiality and

sharing; recognizing employee’s contributions, having policies that are based on trust, doing

what we say we will do both individually and as an organization, [and] encouraging

employees to have a balance of life.”

-Beyond the talk: Achieving a healthy & productive work environment, 1999

“A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.”

- WHO (World Health Organization)

Work culture is of levels of interaction among organizational factors (boundaries,

goals, objective, technology, managerial practices, material and human resources, and the

constraints) and organismic factors (skills, knowledge, needs, and expectations) interact

among themselves at various levels. Over a period of time they develop roles, norms and

values focusing work and is called Work Culture.

Work Culture:

Work Culture plays an important role in extracting the best out of the employees and

making them stick to the organization for a longer duration. The organization must offer a

positive ambience to the employees for them to concentrate on their work rather than

interfering in each other’s work.

What is Work Culture?

Work culture is a concept which deals in the study of:

Beliefs, though processes, attitudes of the employees.

Ideologies and Principles of the organization.

It is the work culture which decides the way employees interact with each other and

how an organization functions. In layman’s language work culture refers to the mentality of

employees which further decide the ambience of the organization.

Any organization is said to have a strong work culture when the employees follow the

organization’s rules and regulations and adhere to the existing guidelines. However there are

certain organizations where employees are reluctant to follow the instructions and are made

to work only by strict procedures. Such organizations have a weak culture.

Page 58: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

58

Characteristics of a Healthy Work Culture:

Employees must be cordial with each other. One must respect his fellow worker.

Backbiting is considered strictly unprofessional and must be avoided for a healthy

work culture. One gains nothing out of conflicts and nasty politics at work.

Each employee should be treated as one. Partiality leads to de-motivated employees

and unhealthy work culture. Employees should be judged only by their work and

nothing else. Personal relationships should take a backseat at the workplace. Don’t

favour anyone just because he is your relative.

Appreciating the top performers is important. Praise the employees to expect good

work from then every time. Give them a pat on their back. Let them feel indispensible

for their organization. Don’t criticized the ones who have not performed well, instead

ask them to pull up their socks for the next time. Give them one more opportunity

rather than firing them immediately.

Encourage discussions at the workplace. Employees must discuss issues among

themselves to reach to better conclusions. Each one should have the liberty to express

his views. The team leaders and managers must interact with the subordinates

frequently. Transparency is essential at all levels for better relationships among

employees and a healthy work culture.

Organization must have employee friendly policies and practical guidelines.

Expecting an employee to work till late night is simply impractical. Rules and

regulations should be made to benefit the employees. Employees must maintain the

decorum of the organization. Discipline is important at the workplace.

The “Hitler approach” does not fit in the current scenario. Bosses should be more

like mentors to the employees. The team leaders should be a source of inspiration for

the subordinates. The superiors are expected to provide a sense of direction to the

employees and guide them whenever needed.

Promote team building activities to bind the employees together. Conduct training

programs, workshops, seminars and presentations to upgrade the existing skills of the

employee. Prepare them for the tough times. They should be ready under any odd

circumstances or change in the work culture.

Page 59: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

59

A few other characteristics for any company culture, to make it successful, as follows:

Mission clarity

Employee commitment

Fully empowered employees

High integrity workplace

Strong trust relationships

Effective systems and processes

Performance-based compensation and reward programs

Customer-focused

Effective 360 degree communications

Commitment to learning and skill development

Emphasis on recruiting and retaining outstanding employees

High degree of adaptability

High accountability standards

Demonstrated supported for innovation

Types of work culture:

Work culture can be broadly defined as how employees describe their working

environment. While some cultures will be defined naturally based on a small business

owner’s leadership style or industry type, a lot of it will also be determined by the employees

you hire and the office tone that management sets. How you implement your unique business

culture in day-to-day operations can help to attract and retain talent while ultimately

contributing to your business’ standards. Like varied personalities, there are various types of

organizational cultures that function by adhering to a stipulated method of working, best-

suited to their core business.

Page 60: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

60

The diverse organizational cultures that mold the structure of a business are as follows:

Appreciative culture: While employees value bonuses and promotions in recognition

of a job well done, there is more to creating a culture of appreciation. Studies have

shown that employee prefer an in-person ‘thank you’ or a positive report delivered to

senior management. While it may feel awkward at first, research indicates this kind of

approach motivates employees to repeat good performance and correct workplace

issues when they arise.

Innovative culture: Innovative companies tend to be fast moving and often

encourage employees at all levels of the organization to take risks. Such companies

seem to be guided by research, such as a Harvard University study, that says there is

direct correlation between an employee’s autonomy and their creative output. Senior

managers in this type of culture need to be wary of burnout, making it even more

important to communicate regularly with staff.

Merging cultures: When two companies merge, it is crucial to pay attention to

combining two distinct cultures. In fact, ignoring the issue can not only have negative

impact on the employee morale, but can ultimately undo the partnership. While in

some cases the dominant culture, prevails, it is best for merging companies to build a

new culture based on the shared values, processes and philosophies.

Family business culture: Family businesses are often multi-generational and,

therefore, have long-established norms, processes and rituals. On the plus side, they

are known for mentoring and cultivating employee’s career growth over the long haul.

On the downside, due to a family-like environment, employers may be more hesitant

to let underperforming employees go. Keeping these types of employees around could

have a negative impact on work output and office morale.

Trust-based culture: While trust is arguably important in any business setting, there

are companies that actively seek to foster this type of environment. These companies

are built on solid relationships between and among management and employees, as

well as with customers. Additionally, they are committed to an open-door policy and

transparency in their transactions and agendas.

Page 61: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

61

Normative culture: In a normative culture, the organization stresses on implementing

the organizational procedures in a correct manner, and according to the norms and

rules defined. This kind of culture is perceived to portray a high standard of business

ethics.

Pragmatic culture: In contrast to normative cultures, stress in laid on satisfying the

wish of their clients. In this type of organizational structure, the client is virtually

deified. The prime concern of every employee is to cater to the needs of the client,

attain, and retain the business they may invite through the clients.

Academy culture: In this kind of culture, employees are highly skilled, and the

organization provides an environment for the development, and honing of employee

skills. Examples of this kind of culture are hospitals, universities, and large

corporations. Employees tend to stay with the organization, and grow with(in) it.

Collaborative work culture: Often referred to as Clan culture, an organization that

adopts a collaborate work culture offers a congenial and amiable environment to work

in. the feeling one derives while working in this type of organization is that of comfort

and coercive motivation. This organization consists of superiors who provide more of

guidance, and less of governance. The organization is based on worker-welfare, where

you have the employees’ interest in the foreground with his skills valued, and

performances handsomely rewarded. Insinuating and developing teamwork is the

most vital element of the organization.

Adhocracy work culture: It is a type of organization that is altered to provide an

environment to accrue one’s creative acumen. Ideas are encouraged, and out-of-box

thinking is an appendage-cum-motto. Dynamism is defined best when the workforce

has the free will to conceive an out-of-ordinary idea; the development of which, may

lead to success; inadvertently, to higher levels of morale, and monetary incentives.

Baseball team culture: In this kind of culture, the employees are ‘free agents’, and

are highly prized. These employees find employment easily in any organization, and

are highly in demand. There is, however, a considerable amount of risk attached to

this culture, as it is very fast-paced. Examples of this kind of culture are advertising,

and investment banking, to name a few.

Page 62: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

62

Club culture: Usually, the employees stay with the organization for a long time, and

get promoted to a senior port, or level. These employees are hand-picked, and it is

imperative that they possess the specific skills required and desired, by the

organization. Examples of this kind of organization are law firms, the military, etc.

Fortress culture: Employees are not sure if the will be laid off or not by the

organization. Very often, this organization undergoes massive changes. Few examples

of this type of culture are loans and savings, large car companies etc.

Macho culture: The most important aspect of this kind of culture is big rewards, and

quick feedback. This kind of culture is mostly associated with quick financial

activities; like, brokerage, and currency trading. It can also be related to activities,

like, a sports team, a police team, or branding of an athlete. This kind of culture does

not eschew high levels of stress; instead they are known to reach the apotheosis of

efficiency. The employees are expected to possess a strong mentality for survival in

the organization.

Work hard/ Play hard culture: This type of organization does not involve much

risk, as the organizations, already, consist of a firm base coupled with a strong client

relationship. This kind of culture is predominantly opted by the large-scaled

organizations that have gained their customer’s trust and support; subsequently rolling

out a specialized jargon, and is qualified with multiple-team meetings.

Bet your company culture: In this type of culture, the company makes big, and

important decisions over high stake endeavours. It takes time to see the consequence

of these decisions. Companies that postulate experimental projects, and researches as

their core business proposition, adopt this kind of culture; for instance, a company

designing experimental military weapons may implement the said type of culture.

Process culture: This type of culture does not include the process of feedback. In this

kind of culture, the organization is extremely cautious about the adherence to laws,

and prefers to abide by them. This culture bestows consistency upon the organization,

predominantly meant for public services.

History of Global Efforts to Improve Worker Health

The origin and evolution of efforts to improve worker health, safety and well-being

are complex, as ideas about how best to achieve the WHO’s and ILO’s goals for workers

have evolved over time. WHO and ILO joined forces very soon after WHO’s formation, in

the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health, recognizing the importance of these

issues. It is relatively recently, however that health promotion has specifically been linked to

work place.

A brief chronology of key events and declarations is as follows

What is a Healthy Work Culture?

A Healthy Work culture is one that effectively attracts, retains and engages

employees. A workplace can be considered healthy if three key elements are addressed in an

integrated manner. These three elements are:

1. Occupational Health and Safety

2. Health Promotion

3. Organizational Health

Ways to create a Healthy Work Culture:

Share the big picture:

Help people see how their individual role supports the work of your department, your

division, department, and ultimately the goals of the organization. Let them know how their

contribution makes a difference. Share information about that’s happening in the organization

that will help them understand why the your organization is such an exciting place to be.

Page 65: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

65

Have a plan and communicate:

Create opportunities for conversations about successes and what is working well, and

what we can improve. Create opportunities for people to collaboratively work on projects

together. Invite people to share their perspective and welcome their ideas about how to do

things even better. Be available to your colleagues, invite favebook, and keep communication

open from both the ends.

Provide Tools:

Streamline processes and procedures wherever possible to improve efficiency of time

and effort. Ensure people have the tools and information that will support their productivity.

Link them to the resources they need to be effective in their position, including where to get

information and advice on how to be successful.

Promote Safety and Health:

Provide training and safeguards that address workplace safety and security issues.

Encourage exercise, healthy eating, and other beneficial health habits. Remind people of the

benefits of taking breaks with heavily practices that help them recharge to improve

concentration, focus, mood, and energy. Create opportunities for colleagues to walk or do

athletic activities together.

Tend to relationships:

Create healthy work relationships and collaborative partnerships returns attention and

positive intention, careful listening, speaking up in appropriate ways, healthy and creative

resolution of conflicts, reinforcement for respectful behaviour, and mutual support for

learning and growth.

Express Appreciation:

Find creative ways to recognize people’s contributions. Take advantage of every

opportunity to express your appreciation, in public, and try to give advices of negative

attitude, in a manner that it doesn’t hurt the personal respect of the person, so that the

employees who hear such things shall not get effected by the treatment. It doesn’t take long,

and it has a great impact.

Page 66: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

66

Encourage ways to have fun at work:

We can be productive and have fun at the same time. Holding things lightly and

having a sense of play relieves stress, promotes a positive outlook, and increases creativity.

Be a good Role Model:

Sometimes our own example is the most powerful means of influence. Be aware of

and intentional about how you show up, and honour the power that you have to make a

difference in the lives of those around you.

Tasks Assigned

My main task is to understand “Identify the Roles and Responsibilities of HR

manager in creating a Healthy Work Culture for the employees of the organization.”

Its Sub tasks involve

Understanding the theoretical study on the elements of work culture, on the global

scenario.

Identifying the current scenario of work culture at Haailand [Practicality]

Maintaining a relationship between the theoretical study and practical applicability of

such theory which enables best output for the organization.

Preparing a complete study and assessment on the work culture adopted at Haailand

which makes sure that the employees feel more accustomed and free at work place.

Strategies

As the task assigned mainly focuses on the study regarding the subject matter, only

the theory part is being followed till now.

Various books, journals, articles, secondary data from previous such patterned reports

has been observed and analysed for further study of current tasks.

The practicality of the subject will be analysed through interacting with the HR

department and the related other members of the organization so as to understand the

level of practicality, and its usefulness (satisfaction).

Page 70: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

70

Tools

A questionnaire is prepared regarding the employee satisfaction towards the current

Work Culture at the work place.

The sample for questionnaire is obtained under the guidance of Mr. D. S. Raju sir,

AGM, HR Department.

Personal observation is also applied to understand the scenario of work culture and its

effects on the employees of the organization.

Questionnaire:

A questionnaire has been prepared for the better analysis of the employee’s satisfaction

regarding the work culture he is working in.

o The questionnaire was formed on the context with questions which clearly

mention all the aspects of the work culture of the employee and the

organization at a large extent.

o It is thought wise to make the questionnaire a long and elaborate one so as to

cover all the aspects without missing the minor aspects which also make the

greatest impact on the employee satisfaction on the culture he is working in.

o All the questions have been categorized into five categories, as under

Employee involvement in decision making.

Peer communication and Peer support

Job factors and Role Clarity

Physical Work Conditions, Infrastructure and Resources

Compensation and Benefits, Recognition and Appraisal

o To develop the questionnaire I have followed different previous such

questionnaires on work culture and also some major research reports which

have similar objectives, as the ones I am performing.

Wales.

I have studied all these articles and questionnaires, from various authors, and other

blogs and websites, and understood the various elements of work culture and its divisions

(categories). Through these, I could easily frame a questionnaire into five groups of each with

a particular concept, and hence while analysis comes, it shall be easy to provide a clear

distinguish between each element of work culture.

Page 72: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

72

Research Design

This type of project can be put under the category of a Descriptive research design,

where the main question is, ‘What is going on?’ It is fact finding in nature. I have taken this

project to find out how the work culture proposed and followed by the company is being

actually followed, at Haailand.

It is mainly aimed at describing and measuring the characteristics of individual or a

group, describing the state of affairs of the current situation. It focuses mainly on disclosing

associations between variables, and not the causality.

It can also be categorized into a Business Research, as it is a purposeful investigation

that provides, the organization, the information required for decision-making. This allows the

decision-makers to know what is actually happening and how big is the variance between

actual and standard.

By acquiring the appropriate information the decision-makers can minimize the

probability of making a wrong choice among alternative courses of action.

Sampling

As there are more than 600 employees working in Haailand, it is quite difficult to

approach all the employees and take their opinion on the work culture they are being

involved in. It shall be more than a heavy task to perform such survey.

When I approached with a questionnaire, Mr. D.S.Raju Sir, gave me a list of 16

employees, from various departments and different designations. I can put this type of

sampling only into a “Prescribed Sample, by experts and professionals”.

Achievements

A.Theoretical study:

Theoretical has been completely understood regarding the Healthy Work environment.

To understand the theoretical concepts, I have followed articles and reports on the

‘healthy work culture’, by various authors and experts, like

Etc…..

Page 75: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

75

Through the theoretical study I have understood, the basic concepts of Work Culture, and its

elements such as,

The basic concepts and definitions,

History of work culture in the context of a global scenario

What is a healthy work culture, in general

Different elements of work culture

B.Practicality:

The practicality of the theory is being understood and analysed for the extent of its

applicability at Haailand.

To understand the practicality I have tried to approach the HR department staff to get

the basic context of work culture at Haailand

But I have understood that it is not a subject or topic which can be explained on the

paper. It shall have to be felt while on the job to get the whole understanding of the

culture of any organization.

So I have thought of approaching the employees directly and observing their own

personal feeling about the work culture at which they are working, and how far are

they satisfied regarding the various concepts.

Learnings

Internship at Haailand has provided me greatest opportunity to acquire the knowledge,

regarding the corporate business procedures and cultures at higher levels of management. I

shall carry the highest privilege of experiencing the whole procedures and actual way or work

life, before even acquiring the eligibility for such exposure, at the closest possible way, as I

have worked along with the HR department, I could have easy access to all the other

departments, and grasp the proceedings at each department individually. I have learnt all the

norms and procedures of a corporate culture, through the help of the staff at Haailand, who

Page 76: Roles and Responsibilities of HR in creating a Healthy, Harmonious and Best Work Culture at work place in Haailand

76

have never responded negatively or neglected me whenever I have approached them, at

anytime.

In the course of this SIP, I have learnt,

The value of time, through various time-bound activities, like preparations of reports,

timely analysis, utilizing the time when I had to prepare a questionnaire, getting the

questionnaire done before it is too late for analysis, etc.

I have understood that a job is not done without the support of a team or group, where

the employee works, may it be direct or indirect support.

I have also learnt the skills which a person of any profession, or position, shall make a

habit to keep them along with him for success, such as the interpersonal skills, with

peers and colleagues, obedience and punctuality, respect and behavior, attitude

towards both superiors and subordinates, etc.

I have also got the opportunity to learn different aspects in HR, through the projects

done by my peer group, with whom I have done the Internship. I came to know the

details and its application at organizational level, of different aspects like,

‘Recruitment and Selection’, ‘Training and Development’, ‘Talent Management’,

‘Employee Retention’, ‘handling employee grievances’, ‘Various procedures to be

followed to Establish a new enterprise’, etc.

I have adjusted my own attitude to get accustomed to the new peer group I am

working with. Earlier I never tried to approach other people and be socially active, as

I thought it is not my cup of tea. Then when I have started the SIP here, in Haailand, I

met these new people(interns), but they took no time to behave as a part of their own

family and become very close to each other in no time. I have understood that the

work stress of any employee can be relieved by the peer group he works with, if he is

ready to get involved with them, as much as he expects them to be supportive.

Finally I have analysed my own strengths and weaknesses, through the regular

feedback of my own behaviour and attitude, through my personal observation. I have

myself recognized the change in the way I speak to other people or the way I perform

my tasks.

Results

The results from the questionnaire are each categorized into 5 categories, which shall

be a lengthy process for the analysis part, as there are total of 56 questions. Hence I have

chosen to take an average of each category, and then take the average response the total

response of the sample for that particular category. The process of calculating each

respondent’s response for the questions of that category and then taking the average of the

whole category is explained below.

taken, which is ‘Organizaitonal decisions/ Communication (Manager’s)/ Employee’s

involvement’, where there are a total of 12 questions on different aspects of the category. The

total of the respondents who have opted for scale 1, i.e. ‘strongly agree’ is added, and then

taken average by dividing it with 12.

In the question no.1, only 3 persons have opted for strongly agree. In question no.7, 6

persons have opted for strongly agree. In question no,11, it is 9. But when we take the

average number of respondents who have opted for strongly agree, we get the total of the

responses for each question divided by the number of questions, i.e. 4.59 out of 16.

sum of responses at that option for all the questions Average = . . Total number of questions

Hence the number of respondents who have opted for the choice of ‘strongly agree’

has come to 4.59 out of 16. In this way it shall be easily categorized, and analyzed for the rest

of the categories too, and a result shall be expressed for the total number of respondents and

their levels of satisfaction for the work culture they are being treated in.

Category I: Organizational Decisions/Communication (manager)/ Employee's

Involvement

Purpose: In this category I have tried to understand the level of involvement of an employee

in the organizational decisions and the communication between the manager/supervisor and

the employee by putting in a few questions which include:

My manager is willing to share decision making power with employees

I have input into organizational decisions

I have freedom to take decisions regarding my workplace

My manager/supervisor gives me regular feedback

I feel free to ask advice/support from my manager

Management uses the feedback for future decision making purposes

There is a two-way communication between the employer and the employee

Employees contribution is noted and respected by the organization

My personal job performance is essential for the development of my organization

By placing these questions in front of the employee, I shall try to understand how he

is being treated at the level of management perspective, and how far is his involvement in

the organizational decisions, and how an employee is being treated by the employer (or)

the immediate supervisor/manager.

the employee are mentioned in this category and the employee is asked to furnish the levels

Interpretation:

The total of 60% on the positive side shows that the employees have certain clarity

and understanding of the job and role they have in their particular department or the whole

organization but the 23% at the ‘Neutral’ provides the management a certain responsibility to

make it a point to provide the employees a more clear and specific tasks and make the

employees understand the responsibilities and the roles of the employees in that particular

tasks and also how important the task is and how important the employee is in finishing the

task or the job given.

In this category, I have also observed that the possibility of an employee performing

multi-tasks is at a lower rate of satisfaction compared to the whole category. It is almost at

equal levels of satisfaction for all the scales which means there is the same level of

satisfaction as well as dissatisfaction, which states that the employees of all the departments

are not provided the opportunity to perform multi-tasks, which decreases the productivity of

the employee, and the utilization of a resource for the organization. Hence the organization

has to understand and recognize the abilities of the employees to perform multi-tasks and

provide them such facilities and opportunities, which shall be beneficial to both the employee

and the employer, as well as the organization as a whole.

Findings

At haailand the levels of satisfaction levels of the employees regarding the work

culture are at a very higher level, from the results of the questionnaire conducted, which

shows that this is a great practice by the management of Haailand, in creating a very good

healthy and harmonious work environment for the employees. During this study I have found

out that,

At Haailand, the work culture followed has been the best suitable for such a big

structure of employees.

The best practices are followed in the department of collegial communication and the

Physical work environment provided to the employees at the work place, which has

improved the total balance of the employee satisfaction over the work culture.

The way the employees feel about their work place shows that they are treated such

that they are working at their own place[or home], and not in an organization of such

great fame and prosperity.

The HR provides the employee all the facilities he shall require to fulfil the job he has

been assigned to, and the way the HR manages the employee makes him feel more

like the member of the Haailand Family, and a part of the organization.

The overall satisfaction level of employees at Haailand, through the study, is 83%

which is a great deal of satisfaction for the employees working in any other

organization.

The values and the customs followed at Haailand are more employee friendly and are

easily adoptable and best result oriented type which can provide best outputs to the

company.

Each employee has his own work environment but as a whole they feel that they are

all a part of the organization when it comes to the whole aspect of collectiveness and

collegiality.

Suggestions

For a company like Haailand, there is not much to suggest, regarding the work culture

being followed, and the way the employees are treated. The main aspects of the suggestions

shall include:

a. A little more effort in the involvement of the employee in organizational decisions,

which involve the employee as a part of the decision. It shall be more useful to the

organization itself it takes the employees opinions into consideration during making

certain decisions that involve the employee himself.

b. While making a few changes in the methods, or the procedures being followed as a

part of day-to-day activities, it is advisable to make it informed to the employee to

make him feel that he is also a part of the family.

c. The more the organization makes the employee feel good, the more their results and

outputs. Hence the concentration has to be put more on the employee satisfaction,

than just the assigning of tasks to the employee.

d. Providing the employee with a socially interactive environment and a rewarding work

environment results in a better healthy work environment.

e. A little recognition from the managers and supervisors shall give the employee very

great morale to continue his good work for the organization.

Conclusion

A great comment from the LindkedIn discussion says it best:

Director from ComCast, “First and Foremost, an identified focus of cultural change

needs to be a wakeup call to those at the top that they need to change. If the top player cannot

look in the mirror and recognize what they need to change, all of the incentive programs in

the world will not work.”

Leadership sets the tone and direction of a corporate culture, but HR could be the

mirror for our leaders and help them see both the positive and negative elements of the work

culture, and its effect of the organizational progress. Basic HR practices such as recruitment,

selection, training, etc, effect the performance and stability of an organization. Thus these

practices have the ability to influence employee behavior and create values that develop work

culture. Since the behavior change refers to how one acts or conducts oneself, if HR practices

could positively affect the behavior, developing positive thinking about organizational

initiatives towards the employees can help in creating value for the strategies and would

result in positive results for the business.

Work culture is reflected in the way people perform tasks, set objectives, and

administer the necessary resources to achieve objectives. Culture affects the way individuals

make decisions, feel, in response to the opportunities and threats affecting the organization.

Research suggests that numerous outcomes have been associated either directly or indirectly

with organizational culture. A healthy and robust work culture may provide various benefits,

such as competitive edge derived from innovation and customer service, consistent, efficient

employee performance, team cohesiveness, high employee morale, strong company

alignment towards goal achievement, etc.

Employees at Haailand at treated as intellectual capital and are looked after well. the

happy and committed employees ensure customer satisfaction and this has got them wide

acceptance across the market. The work culture at Haailand has gone through all the stages of

culture development like symbols, behavior, organizational values, attitudes, and shared

assumptions, and probably this is the reason it has been able to sustain the heavy market

competition.
