EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON EMPLOYEES PERFORMANCE

EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON EMPLOYEES PERFORMANCE

 Statement of the Problem:

The issue of maintaining an organizational culture could be challenging considering the diverse socio-cultural background of the workers that constitute an organization workforce in Nigeria. Their differences can interfere with the maintenance of corporate culture and values, when such values conflict with their personal values.

A lot of research in organizational management has focused on developed countries; 95 percent and whereas only 5 percent of the studies testing organizational theories are found to be done in developing countries (Farashahi, Hafso, & Molz, 2005) in spite of the highly dynamic environment. A number of scholars have questioned the applicability of western management practices in developing countries and since long time it has also been recognized that culture is a main source of difference in performance management practices. Thus, many researchers (Denison, Haaland, & Goelzer in Yilmaz, 2008) have called to investigate the phenomenon of organizational culture in different cultural context particularly in non-western nations like Nigeria.

The question then hinges on, what does organizational culture have on corporate performance? The answer to this question becomes the problem this study is set to investigate. Hence, the need to investigate the effect of organizational culture on the Nigerian business front is timely and should be considered as sacrosanct.

1.3   Objectives of the Study:

 The major objective of this study is to determine the effect of Organizational Culture on Employee’s Performance. Other specific objectives are:

i.To examine the effect of organisational culture on organizational productivity.

ii.To investigate the effect of corporate identity on organizational efficiency.

iii.To assess the relationship between corporate culture and sales boom.

iv.Examine the contribution of corporate philosophy on employee job satisfaction.

v.To find out the effect of corporate norms and standard on employee job satisfaction.

1.4 Significance of the study

The act of organizational culture is such that if cultivated and managed effectively becomes the identity of that organization over time. If it becomes the identity of an organization, the consequence is that it will rub off on the way and manner staff members of that organization carry out their activities. This is because they would like to represent the culture that they have marketed to the business world. This is quite phenomenon and pertinent that students should grasp this fundamental understanding even as they look forward to working with these organizations in the nearest future.
