Clan Culture is the Ideal Culture for Innovation & Tech Firms

Culture is a major factor for businesses in today's world. Employees finding a culture that fits with their ideas is just as important as the company finding employees to fill their roles. This is why having a culture where people are comfortable having new and interesting ideas is critical for tech and innovation firms. 

The definition of Clan Culture is "This working environment is a friendly one. The leaders or the executives are seen as mentors. The organization is held together by loyalty and tradition. There is great involvement. The organization promotes teamwork, participation, and consensus." With this description, I believe that tech and innovation firms would thrive.

When you look what Clan Culture promotes, the research shows that they will lead to higher employee satisfaction and employee satisfaction leads to better performance. One study by Moulson shows that "Teamwork has positive effects on job satisfaction.” This was supported by over 200 questionnaires from professionals with over five years of experience in their fields.

There are many different types of ways that Clan Culture can promote workplace satisfaction. The studies shows that when the aspects of Clan Culture are put into place, it shows an enhanced employee satisfaction and that will lead to higher performance.
“The story of innovation has not changed. It has always been a small team of people who have a new idea, typically not understood by people around them and their executives.”
 -Eric Schmidt, Google's Chairman

    Clan culture seems like a smart move for tech firms and other organizations. Do you think most tech firms already have clan culture?

How Environmental Nonprofits can increase participation

There has been a big push in being green in the last 20-30 years and one of the best ways that a person can do this is by involving themselves in an environmental nonprofit. Environmental nonprofits are based around volunteers getting active and working through the nonprofit to make a difference and dedicate time to the improvement of the environment. The photo to the left was taken from a place that I went to by being involved in an environmental nonprofit. Many of these organizations will involve you being out in nature and spending time in the natural world. Motivating volunteers for these nonprofit is difficult because the organization must find a balance. Their message cannot be so strong that it deters people to participate but it must also not be too weak where people do not see the importance. Since nonprofits are based on volunteer work, they need to be able to recruit people to come and work for them. People need to want to donate time to a good cause that they can be pas...

The Name of the Game is Leadership

Men's Soccer Coach Ben Schneweis talking to one of his players. Photo by: Cobber SID      In today’s day and age, sports hold a huge importance to multiple people across the globe, whether it’s watching the Olympic Games to playing at your collegiate institution. But, of course, everyone has to start out somewhere as to why they either fell in or out of love with their said-sport(s). Sometimes it’s the influence of friends; sometimes it’s the influence of family; sometimes it’s the influence of the media. Many times, though, it’s the influence that coaches have on their players. This has a lot to do with their style of leadership and how they form and maintain relationships with their athletes.      According to an article written by Callow and colleagues in 2009, transformational leadership “involves the building of relationships with followers based on three different types of exchanges: personal, emotional, and inspirational.” In recent years, ins...

Gender Discrimination: Why are we punished for being who we are?

Gender Discrimination in the Classroom & Office  Learning about gender can be traced back to childhood. Parental interaction with their children early on in life influence how that child will display their gender through play, how they parent and what career they decide to go into. Understanding gender communication in the workplace is important to an organization's structure. Gender not only affects communication, but also promotions, leadership opportunities and how we understand each other as individuals. We are socialized to act in a way that our gender defines us and through this gendered lens, we are expected to belong to and associate with a certain organization while upholding special roles within that organization due to our predetermined gender roles. What's the difference between sex and gender?  Sex is based on our biologial sexual reproductive organs at birth.  Gender is something often associated with sex but is actually a learned behavior....
