Detailed Answer
Correct answer: (A)
The organization’s value system
Corporate culture represents the organization’s value system. The culture identifies people’s values and their assumptions about their willingness to work, their ethics, and the way they should be treated. Culture is often reflected in the company’s HR policies and practices. While no two organizational cultures are the same, all organizational cultures have significant impacts on HR functions and activities, as HR activities normally articulate corporate culture. The actual selection of HR practices forms a menu of available choices and is dictated by the prevailing organizational culture of the firm.
