WHAT IS CULTURE?


"Culture refers to the character of an organization, as it reflects deep patterns of values beliefs, and traditions that have been formed over the course of its development."

David Thenuwara Gamage (2006). Professional development for leaders and managers of self-governing schools

"By culture we mean all those historically created designs for living, explicit and implicit, rational, irrational, and nonrational, which exist at any given time as potential guides for the behavior of men."

Kluckhohn, C., & Kelly, W.H. (1945). The concept of culture. In R. Linton (Ed.). The Science of Man in the World Culture.

"A culture is a configuration of learned behaviors and results of behavior whose component elements are shared and transmitted by the members of a particular society"

Linton, R. (1945). The Cultural Background of Personality.
