How to integrate and adapt to your new job as soon as possible?

David and Xiaojun are fresh graduates of the same major in the same year. With a career dream, they went to different companies and did the same job.

But it didn't take long for two people to feel completely different.

David's business leaders are all workaholics. As long as the result is not a process, they are vigorous and efficient, and most of their colleagues are full of energy in suits and ties. David, who likes challenges, is like a duck to water in it, and his work is tense but fulfilling every day.

The business leaders of Xiaojun company are almost "the dragon sees the first and the tail disappears" and rarely meet each other. The working atmosphere is also rather dull and serious. Everyone is concentrating on doing their own thing and seldom talking. Lively and cheerful Xiaojun is depressed every day and feels that he can't stay any longer.

In fact, the workplace situation of David and Xiaojun is largely influenced by "corporate culture".

What is corporate culture?

Generally speaking, corporate culture is the default style of doing things without administrative orders and institutional arrangements.

Then, what kind of corporate culture is roughly divided into, and how should we judge it, so that we can avoid detours?

I hope reading today's article can inspire and help you.

Second, what are the classifications of corporate culture?

There are many classifications of corporate culture, among which Terrence Deere and Allen Kennedy divide corporate culture into four types, namely, strongman culture, hard work and enjoyment culture, gambling culture and process culture.

1, strongman culture: it encourages internal competition and innovation, encourages adventure, and has the characteristics of strong competitiveness and fast product renewal;

2. Work hard and enjoy culture: pay equal attention to work and play, encourage employees to complete low-risk work, the competition is not strong, and the products are relatively stable;

3. Betting culture: Put all your eggs in one basket on the basis of careful analysis, with large investment and slow effect;

4. Process culture: focusing on how to do it, there is basically no feedback on the work, and it is difficult for employees to measure their work. It has the characteristics of strong authority and gradual progress.

Listen, every corporate culture has its own unique characteristics. If everyone in the workplace can understand the characteristics of corporate culture, it will get twice the result with half the effort whether we choose a job or integrate into corporate culture.

Third, how to judge the corporate culture of a company?

First, the enterprise architectural style and office environment

1. Generally speaking, the architectural style of strongman enterprises usually develops to high places, mostly skyscrapers, and the architectural style is often distinct, giving people a sense of forge ahead and positive progress.

For example, Shenzhen Ping An Financial Center, with a total height of 599 meters, is owned by China insurance financial giant-China Ping An Insurance Group; Chow Tai Fook Financial Center is located in Guangzhou with a total height of 530 meters. Tencent, which has built three skyscrapers in Shenzhen, etc.

The office environment of such enterprises is neat and bright, the office is neat and uniform, and sundries are not allowed on the table.

2. The buildings of enterprises that work hard and enjoy are generally not too big, and most of them are very artistic, blending Chinese and Western architectural elements. Typical representative enterprises of this kind of buildings are Alibaba in China and Google in the United States.

The office environment of such enterprises is also relatively clean and refreshing, but unlike strongman enterprises, the layout is more casual, and some personal items can be placed on the desk.

3. The architectural style of betting cultural enterprises is generally not particularly obvious, and different stages of development have different characteristics. For example, Giant Group's office environment is between strongman and practical enjoyment.

4. The buildings of process-oriented cultural enterprises generally cover a wide area, mostly Chinese-style buildings and pay attention to geomantic omen, such as Panda Group. The office environment of such enterprises pays attention to geomantic layout, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and generally does not need a cubicle. Office layout is mostly decorated with Chinese calligraphy and painting.

Second, corporate leadership style and employee status

1, strong business leaders are resolute and good at making decisions, and they have a strong desire to control as long as the result is not a process; The employees are full of energy in suits and ties. They pursue efficiency and pay attention to results.

2. Hard-working and enjoyable business leaders pay attention to both results and relationships, seemingly moderate but actually "authoritarian"; There is no uniform dress code for employees. They either work all night or enjoy a comfortable holiday.

3. It is difficult for the leaders of betting companies to see what employees are busy with, and employees often can't see the leaders. The thinking of leaders makes employees elusive, but leaders are extremely firm; Employees in such enterprises usually bury themselves in their work and seldom talk.

4. The leaders of process enterprises pay attention to the concept of hierarchy, strategic management, grasping the big and letting go of the small; Employees in such enterprises are often step by step and slow to act.

Through the above four points, we can roughly see the classification and characteristics of a company culture.

So in the case of David and Xiaojun, it is not difficult to find that David's company is more inclined to "strong corporate culture". For him who likes challenges, his personality and style of doing things have almost no contradiction with this corporate culture; Xiaojun's company is more like a "process-oriented corporate culture", but it is a torment for Xiaojun who also likes challenges.

Therefore, corporate culture does play an important role in personal career adaptation and development. If you can learn how to identify a corporate culture before entering the workplace and combine your own characteristics, you may be able to take fewer detours in the workplace and find a world suitable for your career development as soon as possible.
