| dc.description.abstract | The main aim of this study was to assess the ability of organizational culture to influence the perception towards female leadership. To this end, a descriptive survey research design has been employed taking 90 employees and 46 managers as samples to respond to the questionnaires designed for the study. The sampling method used was a systematic random sampling method for employees and purposive sampling technique to managers. The managers having equal number of women and men have been selected to maintain balance in their responses. The data gathering instrument has been adopted from previous research which has made use of the Denison Model of organizational culture containing four dimensions such as Involvement, Consistency, Adaptability, and Mission. In this case, the study attempted to assess the existence of relationship between each one of these dimensions with that of perception towards female leadership at BGI Ethiopia. Consequently, the study has found out that involvement has a strong relationship with that of perception on female leadership while consistency and mission has a moderate relationship with it. Only adaptability was found to have a weak relationship with that of perception on female leadership. In general, all the four variables found to have a statistically significant relationship towards perception on female leadership in which case the null hypotheses were rejected. Overall, the study found out that the ability of organizational culture to be able to explain perception towards female leadership was very low that amounts only 3.5% in which case other variables associated to the females themselves seems being able to explain more towards perception among employees though not entertained in this particular study. In other words, the predictive ability of organizational culture towards perception on female leadership seems very low in the case of BGI Ethiopia. Besides, the study has found different other findings according to the responses given by the managers. The study has also made some recommendations so as to improve the perception towards female leadership in the organization. Key Words: involvement, consistency, adaptability, mission and perception on female leadership | |
