Corporate culture in German / Austrian companies versus Czech companies and its influence on work efficiency

Alina Shorkina

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

The main purpose of this thesis is to consider the types of corporate cultures in German, Austrian, and Czech companies. Furthermore, it analyses how these corporate cultures were formed and how different methods of approach to work affect its success. The work consists of two parts – theoretical and practical. The theoretical part will be based on the study of secondary sources. The empirical part is compiled on the basis of outputs from quantitative/qualitative research. It is concluded that the corporate culture in Germany and Austria is more similar, and the whole labour process in the countries is more institutionalised. In contrast, the corporate culture in the Czech Republic is significantly influenced by the imperfections of the country's labour market. As such, one of the main issues identified in the Czech labour market compared to the German and Austrian ones is higher working hours with lower annual earnings.
