Components of work culture are its vision, values, practices, people and place. Organization is made of people and institution. Work culture reflects the quality of both. Worldwide successful governments and organizations are those which have good work culture apart from other factors.

    Eg- The lackadaisical attitude of officials working in few government institutions hinders overall growth and image in eyes of public.
  • Healthy work culture promotes competition and spirit of team in the organization which helps individuals to grow, which in turn will help the organization in the long run. It helps people work without fear.
