ERATURE REVIEW

According to Edgar Shein (1992) model of organizational culture, there are mechanisms that direct and indirect influence organizational culture;- Organizational culture is directly influenced by

status of the staff and opinions. It is also indirectly influenced by management style, mission and vision of a company, rules and regulations, corporate identity rituals and designs.

Outlined Four Dif ferent Kinds of - power culture, role

culture, task culture and person culture. Power culture is where power is held just by a few individuals whose influence is felt in the whole organization.

Role cultures are based on rules. All the staff are expected to know their roles and responsibilities. Power in a role culture is determined by a person’s position in the organization hierarchy.

Deal and Kennedy (1982) outlined four cultures:Work-hard, play-hard culture: Here employees need immediate feedback and they have to maintain high levels of energy. Process culture: This culture has slow feedback and low risk resulting to low stress, slow workirelaxation and security at work and it takes long to find out whether the decision is right or wrong. Bet-your company: Here, decisions are high risk but employees may wait for long before they know whether their actions are right or wrong. Tough-guy macho: this culture contains a world of individuals who enjoy risk and who get quick feedback on their decisions. Here employees enjoy excitement and work hard to be stars. MANAGEMENT STYLE According to Armstrong (2003) the management style plays a vital role in developing and implementing organizational transition and ensuring that procedures for carrying out change assessment, audits and inspections are implemented. Management styles have the duty of monitoring and evaluating transition and taking corrective actions where necessary. Managers are responsible for ensuring that employees are conscious of the likely changes that may take place within the organization. Manager has two fold, first the employee must know what to do and secondly this knowledge must be translated into action following the transition that has taken place within the organization (Chopra, S, & Clara 2004). Management must ensure that the style it employs complies with laid down working procedures. Haroold et al (2005) noted that management style has to operate on two fronts regarding how to implement transition measures in the workplace. Making work better for its employees and ensuring appropriate working condition. According to Armstrong (2006) management style of any industry shouimplementation of transition policies, communicate the need for good aligning of change practices, provide a systematic risk assessment, ensure that the change policies are investigated thoroughly, record data on transforming of existing rules and procedures which are used to evaluate performance and initiate action.

MOTIVATION Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals. Motivation may be rooted in a basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure (Armstrong 2002). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation: Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, and exists within the individual rather than relying on any external pressure. Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the individual. Common extrinsic motivation are:- coercion and threat of punishment. Extrinsic motivation can be internalized by individuals if the task fits with their values and helps to fulfill their basic psychological needs (McCarthy 1994). Drives and desires can be described as deficiency or needs that activates behavior that aim at a certain goal. These originate from within the individual and may not require external stimuli to encourage the behavior. Basic behavior can be sparked by deficiencies such as hunger which motivates a person to seek food, desire for praise or approval which motivates a person to behave in a manner pleasing to others (Chandra 2006). Extrinsic motivation is simply what is done to or for people to motivate them for example, pay increase, praise, promotion and punishments. Hangman (2005) observed that if we do something it will lead to another. People work for money. Drummond (2001) observed that people can be conditioned to act in certain ways if they are rewarded for behaving as required.

Training Training is the process of increasing the knowledge and skills of employee for doing particular job. It is an organizational activity designed to create the thinking and behavior of people and enable them to do their jobs in more efficient manner. It implies imparting technical knowledge and manipulative skills of problem solving and positive attitudes and developing an individual in all aspects. Organizations make arrangement for the development of their staff so as to improve the efficiency of management and workers. Individual workers and organizations benefit from training through job satisfaction which gives an employee confidence in handling the job assigned to him, thus resulting to self esteem and job security which leads to commitment to the organization. Also reduces accidents, spoilage of machines, reduces complaints and brings about better use of resources and brings good interpersonal relationships 2008)
