While applying for jobs in finance, technology, consulting and marketing, she suddenly realized that her biggest concern wasn\u2019t what she did, but where she worked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">When it comes to landing a good job, many people focus on the role. Although finding the right title, position and salary is important, there\u2019s another consideration that matters just as much: culture. The culture of a workplace \u2014 an organization\u2019s values, norms and practices \u2014 has a <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1744-6570.2005.00672.x\/abstract\">huge impact<\/a> on our happiness and success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">But how do you figure out the culture of a company you\u2019ve never worked for? As Nicole tried to evaluate company cultures, she kept asking the Passover question: \u201cHow is this organization different from all other organizations?\u201d And, as with Passover, I told Nicole, the answer should come in the form of a story. Ask people to tell you a story about something that happened at their organization but wouldn\u2019t elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\"><em><strong>Follow Kaye\/Bassman Academic Medicine on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AcademicMedKBIC\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AcaMedKBIC\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">After collecting stories from people at different levels of an organization, Nicole noticed that they touched on common themes. That was a good sign: There was some consensus about the company\u2019s values. But when she talked to other companies, the same kinds of stories kept surfacing in every company she talked to. Why?<\/p>\n<p id=\"story-continues-2\" class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Three decades ago, in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/2392251?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents\">classic study<\/a>, a team of researchers led by the Stanford professor Joanne Martin analyzed the stories people told about their workplaces. They discovered an organizational uniqueness bias: People think their cultures are more distinctive than they really are.<\/p>\n<p id=\"story-continues-3\" class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Across organizations large and small, private and public, from manufacturing to knowledge to service work, Professor Martin\u2019s team found seven stories over and over. \u201cOrganizational cultures, and in particular stories, carry a claim to uniqueness \u2014 that an institution is unlike any other,\u201d the researchers wrote. But paradoxically, the same stories occur \u201cin virtually identical form, in a wide variety of organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Far from being bad news, this study allows job seekers to zero in on the important questions about culture. Let\u2019s look at four stories the study identified:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body-text story-content\"><strong>Story 1: Is the Big Boss Human?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The plot involves an authority figure who has a chance to act as if she\u2019s better than everyone else. The insurance company president who takes his turn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/the-science-work\/201501\">fielding calls<\/a> on the company\u2019s switchboard throughout the year: He\u2019s one of us. The executive who doesn\u2019t let anyone use his parking spot \u2014 even when he\u2019s on vacation \u2014 maintains an air of superiority. This is one of the big debates about Steve Jobs: Was he a narcissist who felt entitled to special treatment or a leader who sought to bring out the excellence in all his employees?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body-text story-content\"><strong>Story 2: Can the Little Person Rise to the Top?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The uplifting version of this story is a Horatio Alger tale. Colleen Barrett begins her Southwest Airlines career as a secretary and lands in the presidency; Jim Ziemer starts at Harley-Davidson as a freight elevator operator and rides all the way to the corner office. In the more depressing variation, a low-status employee achieves great things but is denied promotions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body-text story-content\"><strong>Story 3: Will I Get Fired?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The organization may need to conduct layoffs: What does the leader do? Contrast the former Walmart chief executive Michael Duke, who slashed more than 13,000 jobs while raking in $19.2 million, with Charles Schwab executives\u2019 taking pay cuts to avoid downsizing \u2014 and giving employees who lost their jobs a bonus when they were rehired.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body-text story-content\"><strong>Story 4: How Will the Boss React to Mistakes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">In many organizations, employees are fired for errors. Some stories point to a different culture, like the famous one at IBM in the 1960s. After an employee made a mistake that cost the company $10 million, he walked into the office of Tom Watson, the C.E.O., expecting to get fired. \u201cFire you?\u201d Mr. Watson asked. \u201cI just spent $10 million educating you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Take a close look at these stories, and you\u2019ll see that they deal with three fundamental issues. First is justice: Is this a fair place? Second is security: Is it safe to work here? Third is control: Can I shape my destiny and have influence in this organization?<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">When the big boss is human, the little guy makes it to the top, and leaders try to protect employees even when times are tough and mistakes are made, we judge the culture as just, safe and controllable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The other three stories are \u201cWill the Organization Help Me When I Have to Move?\u201d \u201cWhat Happens When a Boss Is Caught Breaking a Rule?\u201d and \u201cHow Will the Organization Deal With Obstacles?\u201d They\u2019re all concerned with the same three issues. If people are supported when they relocate, leaders follow the same rules as everyone else, and everyone takes initiative to solve problems quickly, we don\u2019t worry as much that the organization is unfair, that we\u2019ll lose our jobs for blowing the whistle, or that no one will join us if we try to change the culture.<\/p>\n<p id=\"story-continues-4\" class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Of course, it\u2019s true that some elements of cultures are unique, but those are the least important parts. The M.I.T. professor Edgar H. Schein <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Organizational-Culture-Leadership-Edgar-Schein\/dp\/0470190604\">observes<\/a>\u00a0that the most visible parts of an organization\u2019s culture are the artifacts and practices \u2014 how people talk, look and act. There are lots of organizations where people laugh at unique jokes, speak in unusual jargon, decorate their office spaces in unconventional ways, or have funky rules and norms. But the more defining parts of a culture are its values. Values are the principles people <em>say<\/em> are important and, more crucially, the principles people <em>show<\/em>are important through their actions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The original study of the uniqueness bias was done three decades ago. If we did it again today, we\u2019d find new kinds of stories about whether leaders attempt to make work fun with a Ping-Pong table or try to encourage innovation by allowing employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on new ideas. Interestingly, though, the values behind these artifacts and practices still link to the core questions about fairness, safety and control. If an organization values innovation, you can assume it\u2019s safe to speak up with new ideas, leaders will listen, and your voice matters. When fun is a priority, it signals that leaders care about people as well as profits, and you can express yourself freely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">It\u2019s always tempting to look for a great culture, but since <a href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/index.cfm?fa=search.displayRecord&amp;uid=2001-11965-001\">bad is often stronger than good<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2015\/12\/its-better-to-avoid-a-toxic-employee-than-hire-a-superstar\">toxic behaviors<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/job.243\/abstract\">wreak more havoc<\/a> than positive behaviors breed joy, it\u2019s probably wiser to first rule out the worst cultures. When stories suggest that an organization is wildly unfair, unsafe or immovable, cross it off your list. And beware of joining a company with a bad reputation in the hopes that you\u2019ll be the exception: the rare little guy who rises to the top. Rather than changing a cutthroat culture from the bottom, many people end up counting themselves lucky if they walk away without permanent scars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">If you\u2019re still unsure where to work, start asking for stories about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Cliff_Scott\/publication\/265508855_The_Science_and_Fiction_of_Meetings\/links\/54107b050cf2df04e75d5eaa.pdf\">one practice<\/a> that says a lot about a culture \u2014 a practice that consumes <a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.unomaha.edu\/psychfacpub\/93\/?utm_source=digitalcommons.unomaha.edu%2Fpsychfacpub%2F93&amp;utm_medium=PDF&amp;utm_campaign=PDFCoverPages\">more than half<\/a> of the time in big organizations. When people find it productive and enjoyable, that\u2019s a good sign. A quote sometimes attributed to Dave Barry said it best: \u201cIf you had to identify, in one word, the reason the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be \u2018meetings.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Written by Adam Grant with the New York Times &#8211;\u00a0Adam Grant is a professor of management and psychology at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the author of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adamgrant.net\/originals\">Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TWO years ago, a student of mine named Nicole was torn on where to start her career.
