Culture and norms are powerful drivers of behavior and learning within groups. They can either facilitate or hinder group-level learning. Culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, practices, and customs that shape the way people think, act, and interact with each other. Norms are the unwritten rules that govern behavior within a group. Both culture and norms can either facilitate or impede the learning of new skills, attitudes, and knowledge within a group. While the other factors (simplicity of tasks, individual reward practices, and levels of informal and formal learning) are also important, they are not as fundamental and pervasive as culture and norms.
