The role of organizational culture in shaping the professional identity of human resources within the institution

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of organizational culture in shaping the professional identity of human resources within the organization, by highlighting the mechanisms through which organizational values and norms are transmitted to employees and transformed into professional behavior and a stable professional identity. The study also sheds light on the mediating role of professional socialization as the process that enables the integration of employees into organizational culture and facilitates their adaptation to the social and professional requirements of the institution. The study adopts a theoretical analytical approach based on contemporary sociological and organizational literature, through the analysis of the concepts of organizational culture, professional identity, and professional socialization, and by highlighting the interactive relationship among them within the organization. The findings show that organizational culture represents the reference framework that determines patterns of professional behavior, while professional socialization constitutes the main mechanism for transmitting this framework to employees, contributing to the construction of a professional identity based on belonging, commitment, and organizational integration.
