A synthesised literature review on organisational culture and corporate performance
Article history: Received 19 May 2017 Received in revised form 8 June 2017 Accepted 11 June 2017 Available online 14 June 2017 The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent to which organisational culture is an explanatory variable for firm’s corporate performance especially now that entities interact in globally knowledge based economies. A review of theoretical and empirical studies were carried out on some developed, emerging and developing nations with particular reference to traits characterised in specific organisational cultural environments in relation to their effects on corporate performance. Those reviews show that organisational culture needs to focus on knowledge management, knowledge conversion, team work, human capital formation, organisational climate and adaptive culture. The studies reviewed focused more on cross-national research design with less attention on the longitudinal aspect. It was not possible to review papers written in non-English language, and ...

Corporate culture is one of the most critical intangible resources that substantially affect the overall organizational performance in developing countries. Hence, this study focused on developing countries' energy sectors to evaluate corporate culture's influence on performance. A quantitative research approach was used in this study to achieve the set goals. The study population comprised 408 employees of General Electric Company of Libya (GECOL) who were sampled during the data collection stage of this study. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to evaluate the impact of organizational culture on performance. The study's outcome evidenced a significant positive impact of culture on corporate performance; this effect was more significant for administrative employees than technical employees. This study offers some recommendations for the direction of future research, as well as criticism of its limitations.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the definition of organizational/corporate culture and sheds the light on the important studies on the topic. Various definitions of corporate culture as discussed by various authors have been analyzed. The different types of cultures and what researchers have found out about their effects on organization performance has been reviewed in this paper. A number of studies that linked the relationship between organizational culture and the organizational performance have been discussed. The researcher realized that as cited by Jennifer et al., (2011) the relationship between culture and organizational performance is still not well understood by many researchers. They bring out the criticism of strong and weak cultures citing that what matters is not the strength or weakness of a culture but how forcefully the norms are held by organizational members (its intensity), and how widely members agree about the norms within the organization (consensus) (O’Reilly, 1989; Jackson, 1960). The researcher agrees with this finding as supported by Sørensen (2002) who theorized that an organization cultures lead to consistency in performance by increasing employee consensus and willingness to endorse organizational goals, reducing uncertainty through goal clarity, and increasing motivation. Although Wilderom and Berg (1998) argued that instead of striving for strong culture, researchers should attempt to reduce the gap between employees’ preferred organizational culture practices and their perception of the organizational practices. This prompts a further study to explore the reasoning by Wilderom and Berg. Key words: Corporate culture, Organization performance, Strong culture and organizational culture & performance.

Literature on organizational culture constantly reinforces the notion that organisational culture is necessary for effective functioning and performance of the organisations. Although numerous studies have been conducted to explore the relationship between organisational culture and performance, empirical findings seem to be mixed and inconclusive. This article attempts to further investigate the role of organisational culture on firm financial performance. Research hypotheses are developed from the related literatures and tested through the data collected from managers of the firms in Gaziantep in Turkey. Data is analysed via SPSS program using the regression analyses. The results show that organisational culture dimensions have no effect on firm financial performance. Considering the limitations of the current study, the findings need to be evaluated with caution. Discussions and implications of the results are provided in the conclusion part of the study. 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

From 1980s, there are more and more studies about organization culture. And in Chinese studies and practices, we pay much attention to the culture due to the direct relationship between the organization culture and corporate performance, which we can be convinced by some academic papers. But there are some limitations in the study. This paper would like to give a literature review about organization culture and corporate performance. Meanwhile, we would give some suggestions about the further study.

This quantitative study examines the relationship between the dimensions of corporate culture and the two types of firm performance: quantitative and qualitative. Data were collected from 45 companies representing a vast portfolio of industries in Turkey. Results derived from the respondents, all of whom were executives from human resources departments, reveal the rich nature of the relationship between corporate culture and overall firm performance. The findings provide support for all three hypotheses studied. The results show that elements of corporate culture have significant positive effects on overall firm performance, both in terms of quantitative firm performance and qualitative firm performance. Thus, practitioners and researchers alike can benefit greatly from the findings and implications reached from this quantitative study conducted in the Turkish business environment.

Purpose - This paper clarifies distinct aspects of firm culture, delineates its effects on performance outcomes, and examines culture intensity on theoretic grounds with attention to its effects and limits. Design/methodology/approach - The study analyzes a data set of 2,657 individual cases that are empirically aggregated into 302 organizational units. Its operationalization of culture intensity derives from distinct culture theory. Hypothesized relations are examined via structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings - Structural equation modeling results show culture relates positively to cooperation, coordination, and performance. Hierarchical regression analysis results show intensity influences cooperation and coordination directly and does not moderate culture’s relations with those outcomes. Research limitations/implications - The large scale empirical study of a broad diversity of firms has advantages over smaller and more targeted studies of lesser generalizability. Practical implications - Firms with cultures of higher intensity can enhance performance indirectly by driving cooperation and coordination directly. Originality/value - This study distinguishes culture from climate on conceptual grounds. Climate strength, an analog of culture intensity, is known to moderate climate’s relations with outcomes. By contrast, this study shows that culture intensity has a main effect on outcomes, in line with culture’s distinct theoretic bases.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between organization culture and organization performance. We used Trompenaars typology as organisational culture lens and measured performance using the balanced scorecard framework in a survey of 129 respondents from 43 commercial banks. Questionnaires were used to collect data which were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. A significant relationship existed between organization culture and performance. Cultures that are formal and task oriented, namely Guided missile and Eiffel tower were more significantly related with better performance, compared to those that are person oriented, which are incubator and family cultures. Further, flexible cultures (family cultures) are more strongly related to organization performance compared to inflexible cultures (Eiffel tower cultures). This research is among the first attempts to use Trompenaars culture topologies to study the relationship between organizatio...
