Abstract
The impact of employee perceptions of organizational culture on job performance is investigated in this study. The purpose of this study is to measure and investigate the impact of employee perceptions of organizational culture on employee performance in Bank of Abyssinia S.C. The study used an explanatory research design with a mixed research approach. Cornbach alpha was used to examine the questionnaire’s reliability and internal uniformity. The data was obtained through an interview and survey questionnaires through a five point Likert scale with 54 questions. The study incorporated survey responses from 154 respondents out of 161 distributed questionnaires. The data analysis was conducted using Version 26 of SPSS data analyzing software. Sand representations in graphs, charts, and tables for better understanding and interpretation were used in articulating the analyzed data. The data was analyzed and the results were interpreted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the four traits measuring organizational culture were all positively correlated with employee’s performance within the range of r=0.663 to r=0.843. Involvement and Consistency were the most contributing organizational culture perception traits in the prediction of employee performance with a beta value of 0.596 and 0.242 respectively. However, adaptability and mission didn’t show a significant effect on employee performance as is explained by a significance level of p>0.05. The implications of the findings were discussed, and recommendations were made. From the study, it was possible to deduce that a good organizational culture perception exists in the case of Bank of Abyssinia. However, there were mixed results on the effect it has on employee performance. Based on this fact the subject organization is recommended to conduct frequent cultural and perception audits so that better performances can be achieved.
