Aspects of Organizational Culture (Factors)

Hi Simon, there are really quite a number of aspects or elements influencing the culture of an organisation. You can think of:
1. Size of the organisation
2. Organogram (Functional, Matrix)
3. Processes (formalised or informal)
4. Leadership style
5. Management style
6. Power (central or decentralised)
7. Control systems
8. Reward systems
9. Stories
10. Symbols
11. Rituals
12. Beliefs
13. Assumptions
14. Attitudes
15. Values
16. Culture(s) of external environment (countries or regions).
Maybe also:
17. Strategy?
18. Vision?

Editor: thanks for this cool list. It's interesting to consider that these aspects are typically playing a role in one of the 3 culture levels as taught by Schein.
