Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine organizational culture and its effects on organizational
performance of Ethiopian Civil Service University/ECSU/ with the mediating role of employees'
organizational commitment. Out of 507 employees of ECSU, 108 academic and 111
administrative staff selected using Kothari's (2004) sample determination formula. To gather
relevant data survey questionnaire with a five Likert scale was used. The study used descriptive

rganizational culture on employee commitment and organizational performance tested with
structural equation modeling. The findings of the study portrayed that ECSU employees
perceive that organizational culture, employees' organizational commitment, and
organizational performance practices of the university were low. The result of the hypothesis
testing in structural equation modeling portrayed the effect of organizational culture, and
employee commitments individually and jointly had a positive and statistically significant
impact on organizational performance. The mediating role of employees' organizational
commitment was positive and statistically significant on the relationship between organizational
culture and organizational performance. The indirect effect of organizational culture through
the employee organizational commitment was significantly higher than the direct one. 61.8
percent of the organizational performance of the university was explained by organization
culture and employee commitment jointly. From the finding, it is promising to conclude that the
organization culture, employee commitment, and organizational performance of ECSU were
rated low by the respondents. It is also possible to recommend that if the university wants to
boost its performance, it is significantly necessary to work on both organizational culture and
employees' organizational commitment
