As a grammar school student in the 50's I learned that culture was a system of progress in a community. That was a good working definition for a 10 or 12 year old. I also like to think o culture as The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. which is from dictionary.com

If I were to evaluate a new hire in terms of culture, I would want to know how well that person was adapting to the culture in their potential work environment.

The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.

Pretty functional definition except for this part:

"...and thought."


I think there is a chicken-and-egg problem here.
