Misalignment Of Organizational Values Among Employees And Its Impact On Communication System Within Algerian Institutions -An Analytical View of the Obstacles from a Socio-Cultural Perspective-

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the impact of the imbalance of organisational values as one of the significant cultural barriers hindering the effectiveness of internal communication. An analytical overview was given of the nature, sources, types, importance and role of organisational values in the life of an institution.

The study showed that the imbalance and contradiction in the  organisational values espoused by the institution and the values, behaviours of individuals, such as disregarding the value of time, hiding information, relying on secrecy and lack of transparency, and favouring personal relationships over official ones, can negatively affect the quality and effectiveness of internal communication. This can lead to the spread of rumours and conflicts within the organisation.
