The morale and the organizational culture of a business can have a great impact on its outcomes, employee motivation and expenses. The example of GM’s accident caused by an authoritarian model provided in the texts is a rather valid example of the matter. It explains the correlation between workplace culture, the accident, external and internal factors and why the aforementioned model was abolished. The following essay will review how it will affect my perception of myself and what aspects I may add.
As mentioned earlier, the strict hierarchy and authoritarian model implemented by General Motors lead to multiple issues within the company. The failures are why it is highly recommended for them to change their methods and focus on the more employee-friendly environments that exist within their competitors’ workplaces (Unknown author, n. d.). This detailed example demonstrates how my performance can be affected by the model promoted by the company I may work with in the future. Moreover, it demonstrates how the authoritarian culture may negatively affect such aspects as employee motivation and the overall success of a business. This information is crucial for me both as a future employee, and, possibly, may have a large effect on me as a higher ranking figure.
As a result, I intend to be more mindful of other people’s opinions and be more open to other perspectives. It is important for employees within a business to be able to express their perspective on the organizational culture of a company and how it may affect the overall success of the business. Moreover, I plan to be more diplomatic and democratic, as this would present me as a thoughtful and empathetic professional. For example, I will listen to my future employees and their opinions, accentuating the importance of their participation in the matter. As an employee, I intend to be more active; as the acquired information has shown me how valuable all workers are in a business. In conclusion, this information will demonstrate the effect certain models have on organizational culture and the business in general. I intend to be more active as an employee and more mindful of other people’s opinions as a future boss.
