Questionnaire For Assessing Organizational Climate For Supporting Entrepreneurial Culture

Last Updated on January 15, 2023 by freewarespace

Upon the detailed analysis of valuable feedback received, interviewing some key persons and our own experience, we have come to a conclusion that the issue is very large and needs time for a very thorough analysis. However, we have tried to come to the best possible conclusion with little knowledge and understanding that we have and feel will help in creation of a culture of entrepreneurship. According to us, in general large organizations do have difficulty in percolating the larger aim of the organization down every stratum of management and workforce and the same is true with our case i.e. . The kind of non-clarity of vision and goals that afflict any large organization is also present here. People feel lost in the ocean of large manpower and this feeling needs to be addressed very urgently and effectively, as it is these very people who will bring in the desired change. The organization structure of , according to us, needs a little thinning and the appraisal system needs to be revamped. An atmosphere needs to be created where people can be given enough freedom to act and draw motivation from those achievements, which are in line with organizational priorities. The organization needs to be more open to new ideas and flexible in its approach to meet the challenges emerging from fast changing market scenario.

Never the less, it is heartening to find that is having sufficient potential for creation of this culture. The employees are, by and large, motivated and dedicated to the organization. As suggested by us, the organization could do better if the people are rotated for cross-pollination of fresh ideas. 

It is true that cultural changes in any organization cannot be brought overnight but then it is also true that ‘well begun is half the job done’. 

Text Box: ‘People want to believe they are going to make a difference. There has to be more to satisfy their psyche than just the paycheck. They have to believe that they are creating something great in order to throw one hundred per cent of their human effort into that.’  Michael Klein, CEO, egroups.com, division of Yahoo!, US
