Abstract:
The impact of culture on organizational performance cannot be over flogged. Culture is observable as a set of behaviour among a particular group of peoples. The collective rules by which an organization operates define its culture. These rules are formed by shared behaviours, values, beliefs and norms. It forms the basis for how various units within an organization perceives and reacts to situations. Culture serves as a binding force that defines people’s behviours within an organization even when they are not being monitored. It imbibes a sense of ethics and principles in people and compels them to do what is right thereby enhancing effectiveness and efficiency in organization’s performance. This research work is meant to critically analyze the binding force that is inherent in organizational culture that brings about maximum performance in an organization.
