Answer: When you encounter an organization where employees are quite intense, focused, and determined to win, you have encountered an organization with a(n) <u>Mercenary</u> culture.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mercenary is one who always works for money not for achieving any organizational goal. Mercenary culture is one in which employees have the same thinking. Employees are not friends with each other. It is the culture in which everyone thinks of his benefit. People are more determined to win even if they have to sacrifice their ethics.

So this type of culture is not very successful in the long run. Because everybody works for his or her advantage. For an organization to be successful everyone has to work together keeping in mind the benefit of other employees also.
