| Abstract | Purpose – This project aims to identify the organizational culture of JVPC and the
singals of abusive supervision which impacts on the employees’ satisfaction and
commitment.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach – The project report uses quantitative/qualitative
approach with questionnaires and interview among referent employees and some
managers to understand and analysis about the company’s culture and the situation of
any abusive supervision. For the subject of the project, this paper bases on Hostede’s
five dimensions in organizational culture as one of the relevant approach.
Findings – Although JVPC has partners from Vietnam and American, the company
has played the role of operator and controlled completely by Parents Company in
Tokyo – JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation. It is significant to find that
the organizational culture of the company and the style of company management
follow the Japanese culture. The company has built up a good image in the country
as a foreign investor and has been acknowledged for its contribution to the
development of the oil and gas industry as well as social activities. However, for the
time being, some symptom of the employees’ demotivation and unsatisfaction that
leaded to the resignation of some key and long-term service staff have been observed.
It was revealed there are some broken relationships between staff and their supervisor
due to abuse of legitimate power in the company which was counted as one of the
major root of the problem. The other relevant finding is the problem in
communication throughout the company.
Practical Implications – The paper emphasizes on the impact of organizational
culture to the satisfaction and commitment of employees. It brings a concept that in
an organization of which culture tolerates power, the abuse of power is stronger, then
the problem turns to be culture itself. It is absolutely challenging to change a
company’s culture; however, it is possible to improve the management system to
consolidate the strengths of the cross culture and eliminate its shortness. Therefore,
the abuse of power can be identified and controlled. |
