IMPACT OF CORPORATE CULTURE ON ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES

Abstract

Identifying ways to improve corporate culture in joint-stock companies requires close attention to both its advantages and its shortcomings. An effective corporate culture directly influences a company’s operations and long-term prospects. It is one of the key drivers of success and plays a decisive role in maintaining competitive advantage. Corporate culture also affects employees’ moral qualities, commitment, productivity, physical health and emotional well-being within the team. This article analyses the corporate-culture problems typical of joint-stock companies and sets out practical solutions. It considers the importance of culture, its place in corporate activity and its impact on economic indicators. The problems identified include an underdeveloped culture, weak communication among staff, and failure to observe ethical standards and values. Proposed remedies include strategic approaches to shaping culture, regular training and educational programmes, fostering an atmosphere of open dialogue and trust, and developing and implementing codes of ethics. The study offers practical recommendations for improving and effectively managing corporate culture in joint-stock companies.
