Abstract
Higher education institutes function to produce effective human capital and the immediate responsibility in doing so lays on the academic staff of these institutes. Therefore, employees in these institutions have to be comfortable with the culture of their organization as the culture affects the level of their job satisfaction. The major concern of this research was to investigate the impact of organizational culture on job satisfaction of academic staff in Ethiopian Civil Service University (ECSU). A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed to the academic staff. About 122 valid responses were used for the statistical analysis which makes the response rate 81.3%. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression. Market culture with a mean value of 3.097 was the dominant culture type in ECSU. Clan culture with a beta value of 0.402 was the most contributing organizational culture type in predicting job satisfaction of academic staff members in Ethiopian Civil Service University (ECSU) followed by Market culture with a beta value of 0.34, Adhocracy culture with a beta value of 0.247. Hierarchy culture had insignificant negative effect on job satisfaction with a beta value of -0.148. ECSU does not have a strong culture that most employees agree with rather weak dominant cultures with relatively higher mean values that have varying level of agreement across the data set. Therefore, it has to strengthen the weak market and clan cultures as they have significant positive effect on job satisfaction.
