Organisational Culture and Performance: Empirical Investigation of Nigerian Insurance Companies
Journal Title: Manager Journal - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue
Abstract
This research work examines the impact of organizational culture on performance using Nigerian insurance companies as case study. The study investigates the importance of the relationship between organizational culture and performance and stresses the necessity of a strong employee-responsive culture. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires, and the chi-square method was used to test our research hypotheses. It was discovered that there was indeed a relationship between organization culture and performance and also a strong employee-responsive culture can lead to effective performance. While carrying out the study it was also discovered that the values and beliefs of the companies were not compatible with that of few employees. It was therefore recommended that to solve this problem appropriate machinery should be put in place to drive compatibility, thereby ensuring unity of purpose.
