- collects the standards of the corresponding economic behavior and economic
activity (e.g. preserves the traditions of craftsmen, the traditions of mutual economic
assistance within the group, relations with the administration, the attitudes towards
various instructions, orders, commands, etc.);
- passes down from the past into the present the values and norms that are the
basis of labor, consumption, distribution and other economic actions and relations;
- updates the values and norms that govern the development of the economy,
being the source of new ideas and behaviors.
Thus, the objectives and mechanisms of the development of organizational and
economic culture as an economic activity factor constantly change and improve under
the influence of environment. Organizational culture allows identifying the drawbacks
in the work of a company and their causes, producing the ways of problem resolution
to improve the company efficiency and to win in the competition.
CONCLUSION
Economic culture depends on people's consciousness and behavior as well as the
social conditions, which include the political stability of the society; reorientation of
the old and/or the creation of new management structures to support market relations;
the legal acts that protect different forms of property and new economic structures and
promote capital investments; moral recovery of the population.
Today's market economy is characterized by rapid changes in the market, labor
activity and labor motivation. This requires the professionals to find the ways to
achieve work goals. Because the traditional ways are sometimes ineffective or
inappropriate, there is a need for new creative approaches to professions. This
creativity implies finding of new, non-standard ways of solving professional problems
and analyzing professional situations. Professional creativity may produce a new
understanding of the content of work (new models, technologies and rules aimed at
obtaining fundamentally new work results) and attract new consumers, etc. In any
organization, individual creative and innovative abilities determine efficient
professionals.
