An organization acts as a culture metaphor by embodying shared values, beliefs, and practices that shape its identity and influence behavior among its members. It serves as a living representation of cultural narratives, where rituals, symbols, and language reflect the organization's core principles.

This metaphorical lens helps in understanding how organizational culture impacts employee engagement, decision-making, and overall performance.
