INTRODUCTION:
From an organizational point of
view, it is mostly common that workplace environmental and organizational
culture conflicts raise due to employees ego conflicts about lifestyle, work,
culture fit, customs, tradition, dress code, being social with other employees
like peer to peer communication, superior, subordinate etc. But According to
some of the management researchers, it is said that the employees who grown up
in joint family have much more managerial skills compare to nuclear family and
also can be recommended to high level position in company for management decisions.
As part as the employees who grownup in nuclear family status is more familiar with the freedom of action in any environment mostly good in managing cross – functional management activities in field or departments and client management part also. So, finally my question is this which employee is given top priority to hire for top - level management activities in organization scenario.

So, how do you define culture
fit? The Good Jobs believes that a
strong cultural fit is the key in creating and maintaining valuable
relationships between an employer and its employees. Cultural fit goes beyond
how well an employee enjoys working with his colleagues. It encompasses a
broader idea of how well a company shares its values and ideals with employees.
Employee diversity, corporate responsibility, or environmentally green services
are values that can be shared between a company and its employees. Cultural fit
is a symbiotic relationship.
In other words, Cultural fit is
the likelihood that a job candidate will be able to conform and adapt to the
core values and collective behaviors that make up an organization.
In brief:
Joint
Family versus Nuclear Family:
What is a Joint Family?
*In an extended family, parents and their children's families may often live under a single roof. This type of joint
family often includes multiple generations in the family. From culture to
culture, the variance of the term may have different meanings. Thus, the joint
family is also known as ‘undivided family’ and sometimes as ‘extended family’.
It normally consists of members who at least belong to three generations:
husband and wife, their married and unmarried children; and their married as
well as unmarried grandchildren.
Characteristics of the Joint
Family:
1. The joint family consists of
people of three or more generations including at least grandparents, parents
and children.
2. One common roof only: Members
of the joint family normally reside together under the same household.
3. Members eat the food prepared
jointly at the common kitchen.
4. Members of the family take
part in common worship, rites and ceremonies.
5. The members hold a common
property.
6. Joint family usually the
eldest male member exercises authority. The super-ordination of the eldest member
and the subordination of all the other members to him is a keynote of the joint
family. His commands are normally obeyed by others.
7. The head considers it as his
privilege to arrange the marriages of the members. The individual’s right to
select his/her life-partner is undermined. The younger members rarely challenge
their decisions and arrangements. But now-a-days, the feelings of younger ones
are being given due weightage.
8. The size of the joint family
is by nature bigger.
9. Every member has his own
duties and obligations towards the family.
Advantages of Joint Family System:
*Managerial Skills are enhanced.
*Loneliness can be fought
against.
*Team work prevails.
Disadvantages of Joint Family
System:
*Privacy lost.
*Responsibility multiplied.
*Ego clashes.
*Competition in performing the daily
tasks.
*Generation gap.
What is a nuclear family?
*The nuclear family or
elementary family is a term used to define a family group consisting of a pair
of adults and their children. This is in contrast to a single-parent family, to
the larger extended family, and to a family with more than two parents. In
short, nuclear family is defined as family unit consisting of a mother and
father and their children.
Basic Reasons for Nuclear
Family System:
*Freedom from traditions and old systems.
*Financial independence.
*When children move for jobs parents loath to
leave their home and accompany their children.
Advantages of Nuclear Family System:
*Provides opportunity to create identity of the family members.
*Freedom of action.
*MorePrivacy.
*Views or ideas are not imposed
by elders.
Disadvantages of Nuclear Family
System:
*Physical detachment from the family disconnects members from their hearts and minds.
*Children of working parents are left under the care of baby sitters.
*Loneliness
*Old age homes are increasing
in number.
*Cultural values taught by
grandparents to children are lost.
*Communication Gap.
My Conclusion:
*Finally after reading this
article you might have an idea about why culture fit conflicts arrives between
peer to peer communications, superior to subordinate communication, and subordinate
to superior communication.
*This article is helpful for
debates, group discussions, essay writing, electives and resolution of Healthy
Conflicts in organizational perspective.
