ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Effects of organizational culture on employee performance were evaluated in this study. The basic variables of the study were Democratic leaderships style, Reward System, Employee Productivity, Employee Commitment and Employee Punctuality, from which the specific objectives were derived. Six hypotheses were formulated in the study to test the significance of democratic leadership style and reward system on employee productivity, commitment and punctuality. The methodology of the research involved a sampling of 300 employees of four bottling plants in eastern and southern Nigeria, through a combination of judgemental and simple random techniques, using structured questionnaire as instrument. The primary data were analyzed using the version 20 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), for correlations and analysis of variance. The results showed that a significant positive relationship exists between democratic leadership style and employee productivity (r = 0.742), employee commitment (r = 0.638) and employee punctuality (r = 0.796). Similarly, a significant correlation was observed between reward system and employee productivity (r = 0.596) employee commitment (r = 0.649) and employee punctuality (r = 0.801). It was also found out from the coefficient of multiple determination that democratic leadership and reward systems have the capacity to influence employee productivity, commitment and punctuality up to 50.2%. base on these findings, it was concluded that organizational culture has significant effects on employee performance.
