| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the effect of organizational culture on employee performance at Catholic Relief Services in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, focusing on five key dimensions: leadership style, communication channels, employee empowerment, work environment, and corporate values. Using a quantitative research approach, a survey was administered to 188 sample employees to explain how these cultural components of the organization influence employee performance. Primary data were collected from the targeted respondents through standardized questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted with the help of SPSS 25.0, The findings reveal that employee empowerment is the most influential predictor of performance, highlighting the importance of autonomy and decision-making power in fostering efficiency and motivation. Leadership style and communication channel also significantly contributes to employee performance, reinforcing the need for vision clarity, ethical leadership, and transparent dialogue. While work environment plays a moderate role in shaping job satisfaction, corporate values exert the least direct influence, suggesting a disconnect between organizational principles and their practical applications. The regression model confirms that these cultural dimensions collectively explain 62.1% of the variance in employee performance, emphasizing the need for strategic interventions to enhance engagement and productivity. The study recommends strengthening empowerment initiatives, refining leadership strategies, optimizing communication frameworks, improving workplace conditions, and integrating corporate values into daily operations to ensure long-term organizational success | |
