The organizational culture of Volkswagen is bureaucratic and mechanistic and the employees of this particular organization have less autonomy and freedom. It is the higher authority and the managers, who enjoy all of the control. Even they have craved the order and they also want a stability within the organization. Volkswagen has an authoritarian leadership style, therefore, the employees are bound to listen to the managers and cannot take any initiatives for tasks. They do not have the freedom to choose anything for a product. The employees of this company were always in fear to lose their job if there was a failure in the project (Dugar, 2010).
