308 respondents were selected using stratified random sampling technique. The four
component of the organizational culture Involvement, Adaptability, Mission and Consistency

scale were used to collect the data. A total of 272 questionnaires were used for this study and
the data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data collected were
summarized, classified and tabulated and analysed using SPSS version 26. The result of
Spearman correlation test shows that there exists a positive relationship between the four
organizational dimension variables (i.e. mission, adaptability, involvement and consistency)
and employee performance. But the magnitude of the relationship varies from one
organizational culture dimensions to the other where, mission has a strong correlation with
employee performance, involvement and consistency have moderate correlation with
employee performance and finally adaptability has a weak correlation with employee
performance. The result of ordinal logistic regression shows that 81.6% of the variance of
employee performance can be predicted by the independent variable (i.e. mission,
adaptability, involvement and consistency). In addition, the result of ordinal logistic
regression shows that mission and involvement have a positive significant effect on employee
performance while adaptability and consistency have insignificant effect on employee
performance. Organizations should give a strong concern for the practice of organizational
culture especially for involvement and mission dimensions of organizational culture. |
