Answer:

A. Artifacts and décor

Explanation:

According to The Business Dictionary, organizational culture is defined as, "An organization’s expectations, experiences, philosophy, as well as the values that guide member behavior, and is expressed in member self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations. Culture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid."

Artifacts and decor are two of the many features that reflect the shared values and attitude in an organization. Features or elements of organizational culture are classified into two categories:

  1. Visible (artifacts)
  2. Invisible (shared values, shared assumptions)

Artifacts include physical structures or aspects that reflect organizational culture. These can be exhibited in the forms of:

  • Stories/legends
  • Rituals/ceremonies (programmed routines e.g. how visitors are greeted)
  • Ceremonies (planned activities to show appreciation e.g. award ceremonies)
