Organizational culture is necessary for the company to run smoothly and efficiently. It shows structural stability of the organization, modeling and integration (Schein 1997). The culture of the organization also determines the type of leadership. There are different types of culture. Three types of culture are constructive or positive culture, passive or defensive culture and aggressive or defensive culture (Cooke and Lafferty in Sullivan, Decker, Jamerson, 2001). Constructive or positive culture involves self-realization, humanism, affiliation and success of the organization's staff, passive or defensive culture is where the focus is on approval, dependence, convention and avoidance of staff and aggressive/defensive where there is competition, perfectionism, power and opposition of staff (Cooke and Lafferty in Sullivan, Decker, Jamerson, 2001).
