The article contributes to the literature in reference to how informal and indigenous practices of relationship-building community values like Bulala can activate a potential for 'humanizing' workplace life and organizational culture. Drawing from social capital theory and Ubuntu, we illustrate how employees can shape and experience organizational culture in a bottom-up strategy, in contrast to top-down strategies, through the value of Bulala. The article argues that these activities enhance human relationships and social connections, and affect performance and productivity too. Resembling Ubuntu, Bulala especially affords being called upon by leaders where they attempt to strengthen organizational culture through informal human relationship amongst employees. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
