Organizational culture is one of the essential topics in organizational behavior because of its role in determining the behavior of organizations and guests simultaneously. The researchers focused on describing the meaning of culture in general and administrative culture in particular to study values, beliefs, and other social variables to demonstrate their relationship to individuals. The group gives the ability to innovate, develop, and deal with internal and external problems. It works to build confidence and deal with those problems with awareness and feeling that give the group the vital role it plays in achieving the organization's goals. The research problem is (Does the organizational culture affect the behavior of the group in the hotel organizations?), As for its importance, it is to enhance the ability of the hotel to develop the culture of workers continuously by developing clear strategies to review environmental changes, and it aims to influence the behavior of the group (workers) in the hotel to improve and build Their cultures in the organization and in line with the developments taking place in the world. The analytical descriptive approach was adopted to analyze the sample’s responses to the questionnaire paragraphs. The research community was represented by the employees of the Mansour Hotel in Baghdad, where (35) questionnaires were distributed and were intentional. The statistical methods used were the stability test, the Cronbach coefficient, simple linear regression Multiple, Pearson's coefficient, the F test, the coefficient of determination, and percentages using the program (SPSS V.24). Many conclusions were reached, the most important of which are: There is a statistically significant relationship between (organizational culture) and (group behavior) according to the answers of the research sample. The most important recommendations are: Encouraging the development of collective behavior because of its apparent impact on hotel workers and increasing their organizational culture.
Organizational culture is one of the basic concepts that hotel organizations need to support the situations they are going through effectively, enhance employee loyalty and belonging to achieve the goals that management aspires to reach, achieve satisfaction for guests coming to the hotel, and constitute one of the essential elements in explaining the behavior of the organization, its leaders, departments, teams, and groups. Its human resources and those dealing with it who are interested in its business contribute intelligently and rationally to internal and external environmental challenges and the competitive market and achieve excellence, continuity, vitality, and renewal. The importance of culture and its vital role in forming and shaping the individual's personality, values, motivations, and tendencies is embodied in addition to being a framework for the different behavior patterns of individuals. Therefore, the problem of the study can be summarized as (Does organizational culture affect group behavior in hotel organizations?) To achieve the research objectives, a hypothetical diagram was built that contained variables related to the topic, and the leading hypothesis was formulated that revolves around (There is a statistically significant correlation between organizational culture and group behavior), other secondary hypotheses. The research structure was formed from the theoretical side and included two sections. The third section was for the practical side, which presented the results of the statistical analysis and then the conclusions and recommendations.

Introduction
Culture includes human intervention, that is, adding something to a state of nature or introducing a modification to it, and the culture of the organization constitutes one of the behavioral phenomena that is directed toward the members of the managers, work teams, councils, and individuals working in them.
First the Concept and Definition of Culture
Culture has been considered a device for distinguishing between human beings, societies, and civilizations across time and history. An organization's culture represents one of the types of those cultures, and it is a mirror that reflects facts related to the path of the organization’s origin and development, the various operations and activities it contains, the biography of its leaders, and its human resources. It helps the organization’s management deal intelligently and rationally with the challenges of the business environment. Global, international, and national. Taylor defined it as a complex, comprehensive system that includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs, traditions, and other preparations and the customs and traditions that the individual acquires from his society. It is known from the social perspective that it is everything that an individual learns, not just what he inherits [1]. The belief, thought, values, customs, traditions, symbols, prejudices, and emotional determinants govern an individual’s behavior and normalize his dealings with others and his various ways of expression [2]. It is expressed by a set of values, beliefs, and heritage among individuals who share the unity of society [3]. To form a mixture that brings together knowledge, ideas, arts, ethics, law, and any abilities and customs that the individual carries out as a member of society [4].
As for the culture of the organization, it was defined by as shared values that include fundamental beliefs that help the organization’s management in the search for excellence, and addressed it as a relatively unique group that carries the meanings of values, beliefs, customs, traditions, and practices that the members of the organization contribute to it. It extends to learning the rituals and rituals governing the behaviors of employees that are generated as a result of their interaction within the formal and informal work climate. These are basic assumptions and beliefs shared by the organization's members and subconscious processes that determine the organization’s outlook and interactions with its environment and belong to the logic of strategic thinking for managing the organization [5].
Al-Qaryouti et al [6] Believe that it is nothing more than gathering a set of beliefs, expectations, and values that must be learned and shared by members of the organization and working to transfer those generated from one employee to others. Here, it defines and directs the strategic management process at the level of the organization, its work, and its units. At the social level, it urges management to seek excellence through its performance and continuously think about improving its achieved and expected stories. Here, it combines the two perspectives of the organization’s history and future, representing the spirit of managing the future and its internal and external challenges.

Figure 2: The relationship between social culture and organizational culture
The organization's culture means the beliefs, traditions, and general models of behavior that express the organization's characteristics. Interest in culture occurs in an attempt to understand the reality of collective life in the organization and its divisions and determine its constitution, systems, and identity, as well as interest in the culture of the knowledge industry and the diversity that governs management practices in different countries, especially the diversity of values. Cultural to explain cultural differences in management [7].
Second Dimensions of Organizational Culture
Organizational culture has dimensions, including the following [8-9].
The motivational dimension of the organization’s culture: Many researchers have agreed that the organization’s culture expresses the basic assumptions, values, behavioral rules, and shared human results among the members of the organization that they have a special feeling about and represent indicators for doing what is desired, leaving what is undesirable, and determining how to accomplish tasks in the organization. In other words, the organization and how employees deal with each other and with customers, suppliers, and other organizations
The management dimension of the organization’s culture: Management is essential in managing and directing it toward achieving goals. It is a process that affects all the material and human aspects of the organization to the extent of its consideration and skill. Still, this art and craft are always linked to the components of the individual worker and his psychological and cognitive capabilities that appear in their behaviors and actions. Its attitudes and values support this, and what reinforces it is a solid and positive organizational culture that supports skills and preparations and gives importance to management's formal and administrative aspects
Reference
Al-Sumaidaie et al [10] accordingly, there are a set of characteristics that characterize the organization’s culture, which are as follows.
The organization's culture is a cumulative, connected, and continuous system: Each generation works to hand it over to subsequent generations, which is learned through learning and imitation. Culture increases through what ages add to its components in terms of elements and characteristics and how these elements and attributes organize and interact [11]
Creativity and the style of dealing with danger: It is described as a characteristic of the degree to which workers are encouraged to be creative and innovative and deal with risk
The organization's culture is a factor of social belonging by creating a space that unifies actors around the same principles, values, and symbols, distinguishing them from others in the external environment
Organizational culture is a complex system consisting of several components or sub-elements that interact with each other in forming the organization's culture
Culture as a complex system includes the following three elements
The moral aspect the integrated system of values, morals, customs, and ideas
The behavioral aspect customs and traditions of the organization's members, literature and arts, and various practical practices
The material aspect all the tangible things the organization's members own, such as buildings, tools, equipment, food, etc.
The culture of the organization has the characteristic of adaptation: The culture of the organization is characterized by flexibility and the ability to adapt in response to human biological and psychological demands to be appropriate to the geographical environment and the development of the cultures surrounding the individual on the one hand, and in response to the characteristics of the organization's environment and the changes that occur in it on the other hand, [12]
Fourth Functions of organizational culture
The functions of corporate culture are summarized in four main tasks.
It gives the organization's members an organizational identity: Employees sharing the same standards, values, and perceptions gives them a sense of unity, which helps develop an understanding of ordinary duty
Facilitates collective commitment: A sense of common purpose encourages strong commitment from those who accept this culture
Promotes system stability: Culture encourages permanent coordination and cooperation among organization members by fostering a sense of shared identity and commitment
Shaping behavior by helping individuals understand what is happening around them: An organization's culture provides a source of shared meanings explaining why things happen the way they do
The organization's culture acts as the glue by fulfilling the previous functions. This cement binds the organization's members to each other and helps to promote consistent, coordinated behavior at work [13].
Introduction
Behavior includes all the mental processes in the individual's mind, interactions with others, and the environment surrounding him. It is either positive, acceptable, harmful, or objectionable, according to the behavior he takes, what is prevalent in each society, and the customs, traditions, and religions that are specific to each of them, and based on that. In this study, the essential concepts and types will be identified through the following.
First the Concept of Behavior
Scientists and researchers in the humanities, social, and administrative sciences are interested in the term behavior. Al-Salem [14] defined it as all the actions and behaviors of the individual in various life situations. [15] Indicates that it is a set of activities that a person performs in his daily life, alone or with others, or among the actions included in his relationships with others. It also means the direct actions and actions of individuals to obtain a good or service, which provides for making purchasing decisions. As for, behavior is defined as everything that individuals say and do, and it is a function of the two variables: the individual represented by skills, personal abilities, perception, attitudes, values, Ethics, and the environment [16]. Defined it as the result of the interaction between the characteristics of the individual and the nature of the situations in which he lives. In contrast [17] defines it as a movement with an aim or goal that the individual performs to attract the attention of others to him. It is caused by the environmental factor or the situations surrounding him, and it represents values—the prevailing social and religious beliefs and established and recognized customs and traditions. As for, it refers to the activity that the individual or organic organism brings from its surroundings, stimulated by its innate and environmental motivations. Several other researchers have indicated that behavior is (Response) it is defined as any response issued by a human or an animal that can be observed or measured [18].
Second - Types of behavior
Several types have been identified to study behavior and detail its varieties, as it is characterized by complexity and intertwining, where several factors interact in provoking it and determining its trends, extent, and pattern. Accordingly, a group of these types has been selected that is consistent with the nature of group behavior to express the specificity enjoyed by the study community, which is: (collective, Massive, motivating, responsive, and balanced tourism) shown in the following proposed mode [19-23].
Collective: It is the behavior of individuals linked to the social situation and share a common reaction to it. It is characterized by being spontaneous and unorganized, and new patterns of social organizations arise. It is defined as the behavior of individuals subject to a general and collective influence resulting from social interaction. Universities are committed to new patterns of behavior, whether for a temporary period. Or with continuity, a group of individuals is characterized by the ability to develop rules and customs of conduct in an automatic manner that contradicts what is familiar and acceptable in society
Mass: It is the behavior practiced by individuals of varying ages, social and economic classes, and various positions, professions, and cultural levels, and its members do not interact or exchange experiences. Its nature is distinguished by its structure, traditions, rules, and collective tendencies, where interest increases due to industrialization and preparation and the accompanying factors that led to the Separation of individuals from their original environment and group, such as migration, change of residence, education, etc.
Motivator: By granting incentives, the administration aims to obtain their response to perform tasks and encourage this acceptable behavior towards development and creativity at work. The incentives are tangible, such as rewards and bonuses, and others are intangible, such as letters of thanks and appreciation, respect for opinions, participation in decision-making, and others, all of which are important by enhancing satisfaction among individuals and contributing to increasing their motivation towards achievement and better work
The responder: The individual faces the reality of the situation. He may feel that the goal or need must be revised. Then, he does not take any action or reaction toward it due to the presence of specific stimuli in the situation. The response occurs immediately after the intention appears, consisting of particular connections between the response stimuli. These are called reflexes; as the individual is born with these associations, others are acquired through conditional processes that occur in behavioral situations during the various stages of his development
Balanced: Administrative leaders generate a coherent set of ideas and principles to map the comprehensive path of their organizations to track the translation of the vision into a cohesive set of standards that contribute to developing business and communication strategies that help coordinate between the management of the target group and the other organizational ones to achieve the goals. This claims the existence of a system. There are many balancing processes between these actions towards the plan, and aspects appear in the design that produce balanced behavior for all parties. Therefore, those leaders must recognize that behavior and translate its components in a way consistent with the effectiveness of managing the behavior of the selected group. It is a balanced performance that translates operational goals and improves operations and does not lower it (classic look) to create balance
Tourist: The individual prefers to take a tourist trip alone or with others to satisfy his needs and desires, and motivation is the natural force that makes him carry out one activity or another and continue doing it. As a member of a large society, the individual is affected by the nature of the culture and civilization in which he lives, and social forces influence him and the methods and patterns of behavior he follows. He is subject to groups with customs and traditions that influence his thinking and determine his behavior patterns
Third - The concept of the group
Groups exist in all societies, and for this reason, they are one of the crucial pillars and an essential part of the components of any social system; their nature and diversity must be examined, and their importance is represented in contributing to the progress of society and ensuring the continuation of social life, since all its institutions (educational, economic, health, cultural, social, etc.), is the result of the efforts of groups and the interaction between them. The nearby resource dictionary defined it as a group, group, or clique. The study discussed and identified the concept of group and its classifications. Several researchers and writers described it as (the unity of values and standards) that each group member interacts with others and with the environment surrounding him and them. He believes there are several individuals among whom there is a feeling of unity, and they communicate with each other constantly directly and are organized by fixed structures of roles and ranks and governed by a set of values or standards that regulate their behavior in situations related to the group [24].
Fourth - Characteristics of the group
Several observable characteristics characterize the group
Cohesion is the degree of individuals’ attraction to the group and desire to maintain their membership. It is also the degree of interest that the group possesses for its members and the members' connection to each other with general cultural and social responsibilities and obligations. Cohesion is based on three pillars: the individual’s commitment to society's public values and standards and his interaction. With individuals because of common interests, and his connection with them in reality and destiny is represented by continuing to participate in daily social events and activities and close proximity [25]
Reinforcement: Some groups are socially isolated, and support is a factor in confronting isolation. No matter how small the group is, this increases the support, loyalty, cohesion, and solidarity among its members, and they work in a team spirit. The goal of administrative leadership is centered on a set of programs that help strengthen managerial procedures to sort out the significant interactions between learning. The motivation that occurs in the behavior of individuals may portray events as unrealistic when they are supported in reality
Homogeneity: It depends on the degree of similarity between individuals' characteristics, desires, and interests through the analysis of the group, which in turn gives a unified intellectual background. Similar social and economic dimensions are dissolved, so common characteristics of the members that are appropriate for the group’s purposes or goals are formed. The unity of homogeneity contributes to the effects of similarity in the areas of gender or Nationalism, belief, etc.
Dynamic: Linguistically, it means movement towards achieving a specific goal. It is a set of variables and responses that occur within the group or interact with each other in different situations and their impact on the behavior of individuals. Also, any behavior issued by any group member serves as a warning to the rest of the members, who respond in response. The movement and activity of the group vary, and it is characterized by the fact that this active, interactive movement leads to a change in the state of any of its parts, which leads to a change in any other region. Whenever interaction occurs between more than two, a dynamic movement for better results, and the situation changes For better or for worse, what distinguishes group dynamics is social integration, human relations, change, social interaction, and other social manifestations
Interaction: Individuals are influenced by ideas provided there is relative stability and continuity in relationships and social interaction for an extended period. The natural or racial composition of interacting groups is reflected in building relationships between individuals and forming groups, whether popular, governmental, or civil. The group's distinction comes through social behavior. Their shared interaction is different from being individuals
Fifth - Community standards
The group has standards whose features are determined according to their formed patterns. Actions directed to fulfill their requirements can only be completed with their presence. The organization runs a group of functions that provide those needs towards achieving that. These standards require a set of rules and foundations through which the behavior and thought of the group members is evaluated if appropriate. Or inappropriate. It also determines the expected behavior of each member. If it does not fit its goals, it will be less severe than its pressure on individuals and their compliance. The following advantages characterize the group’s standards [26].
Determine what an individual should and should not do in various situations
Constancy, as it provides individuals with standards of behavior in the present and future
They are developed and reached unanimously, which does not require court supervision to ensure the extent of compliance with them
Sixth - Types of group
The group and its types are formed to give the individual a unique social system and emphasize adherence to the prevailing social decisions and plans. Among the types of groups are [27-30].
Emotionality: Individuals experience many emotions, including joy, optimism, pleasure, anger, sadness, crying, etc., which are intertwined and complex in different life situations. A particular problem may provoke a mixture of emotions simultaneously, and the feelings grow and begin to differentiate with development. Individuals and their development and emotional groups are the ones in which the mental cognitive influences and the physical and physiological influences of their individuals occu
Cohesive: with each other, their participation increases to reach specific goals and leads to consistent behavior. And they are more able to work as one individual. Their decisions are unified and come in some forms, including with little scrutiny, with the influence of authority figures, by a minority, or by a relative or absolute majority. Decisions are made unanimously, which is the case. Optimum decision-making indicates the group's cohesion to a considerable extent, that is, a state of controlling group thinking or alienating its will in favor of one of the influential internal or external parties
Social: The human race does not interact only as individual individuals but also as members of groups. The development of self-perceptions and self-attitudes takes place under the circumstances of group life and must be understood within its limits. In every social situation, the individual shows unique and different patterns of behavior, meaning that he plays Social roles in the elements of the total self-revealed while adapting to a particular group. The social group plays an influential role by contributing to society's growth, progress, and improvement and ensuring the continuation of social life
Internal: These are those groups that include individuals who form a team to compete with others, and it is explained that it is a group that meets among themselves to achieve internal goals that seek the benefit of the organization and its building and have common interests, and its members are close on the cultural and social level, and they are also a group of individuals who interact with each other. Some people share common internal interests and come together to create some of the groups that exist with them. They maintain their members for a certain period, build their standards on objective foundations, and have the ability to pressure and influence others
External: This type of group has its implications because it influences the behavior of the individual, the crystallization of his personality, his attitudes and values, and its direct dependence on the strength of the relationship among the members, as well as its dependence on the degree of direct interaction among them. It contributes to building and nurturing good individuals and developed and organized societies. Those groups whose members compete with members of other groups and have divisions based on an organic basis are characterized by the small number of their members. They are also characterized by direct interaction between their members, and the individual’s affiliation with them is based on an organic basis
Face-to-face: A group of individuals who communicate with each other over a sufficient period so that each can share with others, which is direct. It allows its members to get close to or belong to it and learn about its activities and what goes on among its members. It has value in society, and it builds that Effective individuals are given opportunities to acquire many desirable customs, traditions, and trends through the direct exchange of social experiences and knowledge
First, The location for conducting the research: Al-Mansour Hotel in Baghdad was chosen to conduct the study and test its variables with the approved criteria items
• Second: The research population and sample: The research population represents the employees at the hotel, and (35) questionnaires were distributed to the selected sample. After being marked by them, they were utterly retrieved and unpacked in a way that serves the research project
Third: Tools used: The following tools and methods were adopted for analysis purposes
Questionnaire: A group of interconnected questions was identified to achieve the goal sought by the research within the framework of the chosen problem, to obtain data and information to obtain numerical results in which the research variables are measured. A set of standards was used and approved after they were arranged and prepared according to the requirements and trends of the research. As shown in the appendix, the triple runway was adopted for this purpose
Description of the questionnaire: It was considered the primary source for measuring and analyzing questions and hypotheses and testing them towards detailing the organizational culture within the management of the Mansour Hotel and the extent of its inclusion and potential to achieve group behavior in it, according to the research variables on the theoretical side. The questionnaire was divided into:
The first section contains the independent variable (organizational culture), which includes 4 dimensions; each dimension includes three paragraphs, except for the third dimension, which provides for only two. The second section includes the dependent variable (group behavior), which includes 6 items. That is a total of 17 paragraphs.
Methods of describing and analyzing data
Various statistical means and methods are used to obtain results during the conduct of the research, through which hypotheses are tested to understand the problems and answer the questions raised in the study through the application of SPSS v23 and Amos v23: [31].
Introduction
The research hypotheses were put forward in the form of questions, and the sample was selected from employees at the Al-Mansour Hotel in Baghdad as part of the research community to ensure the validity of the assumptions. The tools and methods used to collect and analyze data about the reality of the organizational culture in the hotel were determined, as explained in the following paragraphs.
Fourth: Stability Test
Reliability of the questionnaire: The tools and measures achieve positive results and give the row. If the researcher repeats the measurement, she obtains the same results. Reliability was calculated as follows
Cornbach’s Alpha coefficient: This coefficient is used to measure the stability of the estimates obtained from tests or questionnaires that measure a subject whose items are assumed to be homogeneous. After extracting the reliability coefficient, its value was more significant 0.60. This means accepting the reliability of the questionnaire, and its results can be analyzed. This would be appropriate for research and studies in which the questionnaire is an approved tool. The results are as in Table 1
Fifth: The importance of the research variables (organizational culture) and (group behavior)
We refer here to the answers of the sample members, who numbered (35) individuals, regarding the paragraphs and questions of the questionnaire related to the independent variable (organizational culture) and its dimensions and the paragraphs of the dependent variable (group behavior), where tables were adopted that show the trends of the sample’s answers for each section of the two research variables. The arithmetic means standard deviation and relative importance were used according to the answer strength matrix in Table 2.
Organizational culture
In its axis of measuring organizational culture, the study questionnaire included (11) items distributed over (4) dimensions to determine the availability of the elements of corporate culture among the management at Al-Mansour Hotel (research model) and the results of the sample’s answers to the axes (corporate culture) were as follows
The motivational dimension: The value of relative importance reached 94.29%, which is a high percentage that confirms the level of agreement of the study sample on most of the paragraphs of this axis, as the arithmetic mean for this axis was recorded 2.83, which falls within the period 2.34 to 3. This means that the sample’s answers have A trend towards agreement and a standard deviation of 0.35, which indicates the extent of homogeneity of the responses regarding (the motivational dimension) as in Table 3
The levels of importance of the paragraphs (the motivational dimension) were distributed between the highest level of response achieved by section (Q3) with an arithmetic mean of 2.94 and a standard deviation of 0.24, and relative importance that constituted 98.10% to confirm that most of the members of the research sample agreed on this paragraph, including It is likely that hotel management determines how tasks are accomplished in the organization and the way employees deal with each other and with customers, suppliers, and other organizations. In contrast, paragraph Q1 achieved the lowest response level among the paragraphs of the motivational dimension, as its arithmetic mean value reached 2.69 and its standard deviation was 0.47. The relative importance was 89.53%, confirming that the sample members disagreed that the basic assumptions express the values, behavioral rules, and human results shared among the organization's members.
The management dimension: The value of relative importance reached 94.60%, which is a high percentage that confirms the study sample’s agreement on most of the paragraphs of this axis, as the arithmetic mean for this axis was 2.84, which falls within the period 2.34 to 3. This means that the sample’s answers are directional towards agreement, and a standard deviation of 0.44 indicates the extent of homogeneity of the responses regarding the managerial dimension as in Table 4

Sixth Testing research hypotheses
The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to know the relationship between the research variables and test the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable using the simple linear regression model and the multiple regression model, the F test F-test, and the coefficient of determination R2 to find out the percentage of influence and contribution of the independent variable on the dependent variable, and it included Test the research hypotheses in the following paragraphs:
Testing correlation hypotheses
To test the hypotheses of the correlation between organizational culture and group behavior, the correlation coefficient between the variables was extracted to explain the strength and direction of the correlation between the hypothesis variables. The hypothesis will be accepted if the value of the correlation coefficient is limited to 0.50 and 1, which is correct. This indicates that the strength of the correlation and the F-test were applied to determine the significance of the effect of the independent variable organizational culture on the dependent variable group behavior. Suppose the probability value is Sig. Less than the level of significance of 0.05, this indicates the presence of a significant effect, and vice versa. If the calculated value of F is more important than its probability tabular matter, it suggests a statistically significant impact, and vice versa. Likewise, the value of the coefficient of determination R2 was extracted. Which shows the percentage of interpretation organizational culture and its fulfillment of the variable group behavior. The hypotheses will be tested as follows:

Accepting the central hypothesis, which states there is a statistically significant correlation between organizational culture and group behavior with a confidence rate of 95%, as the value of the correlation coefficient was recorded 0.688, which is significant, to establish the strong connection between them.
There is a statistically significant effect of the variable organizational culture on group behavior, as the calculated F value reached 29.709, which is substantial, and this means accepting the hypothesis there is an effect between the two variables as for the value of the coefficient of determination 0.474%, which indicates a percentage of influence And the contribution of organizational culture to group behavior
Testing hypotheses using simple regression method. The results according to Table 9 were as follows. The previous table shows the coefficient of determination value 0.474%, meaning that the independent variables explain the variation occurring in the group’s behavior. The test shows the significance of the regression, and we note the sig value. It is 0.000, which is less than 0.05. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative view, that is, there is an effect in the presence of the independent variables affecting the dependent variable.
Hypothesis testing using multiple regression method
The F-test was applied to determine the significance of the relationship and influence between the dimensions of the independent variable organizational culture combined, and the dependent variable group behavior. The results are shown in Table 10. There is a relationship and influence for the organizational culture variable in the presence of the combined dimensions in group behavior.
