Hauwa Adamu Yusuf

Abstract


The primary objective of this paper is to determine the impact of organizational culture on the employees’ performance in the telecommunication sector in Nigeria. Researchers applied and adopt previously used questionnaires for the purpose. Both independent variable organizational culture and dependent variable employee performance is divided to their sub-elements to measure them in targeted organizations. As this topic has not been discussed methodically in the context of Nigeria, therefore, it is perceived vital to conduct such a research and encourage the chosen sector for improvement through recommendation. The target population of this research is employees in the telecommunication sector which are about 2000 workforces. This study includes 211 employees of various telecommunication companies in Nigeria which are chosen randomly. To achieve the abovementioned objective, the regression model is used for analyzing the data and finding the relationships among the variables. Findings show the existence of the relationships and influences of organizational culture on the employee performance as whole. However, the extent of this impact is varying based on different sub-elements of organizational culture. Namely, change management, goal achievement, and others.


Keywords
