    (Addis Ababa University, 2025-08) Abdissa Mitiku; Worku Mekonnen (PhD)
    This research explores effect of organizational culture on change management practices, focusing on Ries Engineering Share Company. The study sought to investigate the relationship between the company's capacity to manage change and enhance performance outcomes and the aspects of organizational culture specifically, involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission. In dynamic business environments, it is critical for organizations undergoing transformation to comprehend this relationship. To find out how organizational culture affects change management directly and indirectly, an explanatory research design was used. Employees were given a structured questionnaire to complete in order to gather quantitative data. A high response rate was obtained from the 100 completed and returned questionnaires out of the 110 that were distributed. SPSS Version 22 was used to analyze the data. Relationships between the variables were investigated using regression analysis, correlation, and descriptive statistics. Additionally, diagnostic tests were used to confirm the linear regression assumptions. The results show that effective change management techniques are strongly positively impacted by specific cultural dimensions, especially mission and adaptability. On the other hand, aspects like Consistency and Involvement yielded inconsistent results, indicating areas where the company could enhance policy coherence and employee participation. The study also found that poor leadership modeling, inconsistent communication, and a lack of training are important issues that impair the change management process and have a detrimental effect on employee engagement and overall organizational performance. The study suggests that Ries Engineering Share Company should improve training, increase employee participation in decision-making, and strengthen leadership accountability in light of these findings. These steps are essential to aligning organizationalculture with sustainable performance goals.
