This Hot Spot will explore how different forms of organizational culture, steering practices, and influence affect employee engagement and shape everyday experiences at work.
Monika Müller, Senior lecturer and Associate professor in Organizational Studies at Lund University
In this session Monika Müller, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in Organizational Studies at Lund University, will provide inspiration and provoke thought on how culture, leadership practices, and forms of control interact to influence employee behavior and reactions. Through real-world examples, including topics like internal branding, participants will gain insights into the complex relationship between these forces and how they can shape organizational dynamics – both positively and negatively.
Topics for exploration include:
- What are the positive, negative, and unintended effects of different forms of culture, and ways of providing direction?
- How can management practices (like culture management or concerted control) shape organizational behavior and employee engagement?
- How do informal influences and cultural initiatives interact with more formal control mechanisms, and what dynamics emerge from this interplay?
- How can culture and ways of providing direction be leveraged to become assets for both management and employees?
This Hot Spot aims to inspire critical thinking and offer practical takeaways for those interested in creating a workplace where culture, ways of steering employees, and influence align with both business goals and the well-being of the employees.
