Cultivating a Positive Organizational Culture: Key to Success in High - Pressure IT Environments
Vaijinath Susuruth Narayana Saker
Abstract: In the fast - paced environment of Information Technology (IT) companies, the pressure to meet strict deadlines often fosters a toxic work culture. When projects fall behind schedule or issues arise, there is a tendency to assign blame to individuals, even when the root cause may be beyond their control. For instance, an IT Product Owner may be unjustly held responsible for delays in documenting requirements, when the actual cause could be pending executive decisions or incomplete information from business stakeholders. This white paper examines how such cultures develop, why they persist, and the detrimental impact they have on team dynamics and project outcomes. It further explores strategies for building a healthier organizational culture centered on shared accountability, transparent communication, and a collaborative approach to problem - solving.
Keywords: toxic work culture, IT companies, shared accountability, project delays, team dynamics
