Abstract:
One of the influential determinants of effectiveness or inefficiency in organizations can be credited to the culture of such organization. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of organizational culture on the performance of Local Government Council Employees in Delta State. Four research objectives and hypotheses were formulated and results were computed with the aid of STATA Version 13.0. A descriptive survey research design was adopted in the study, in which data was collected from 373 randomly selected employees using a questionnaire. Data was personally administered by the researcher and the retrieved data from the respondents were analyzed using the descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean, standard deviation, frequencies and simple percentage while the simple linear regression was used to test the study's hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance and descriptive statistical analysis of all variables was computed using SPSS (v.23). Multiple sampling techniques (Krejcie and Morgan's table and the proportionate sampling technique) was used to obtain data size from each of the sampled Local Government Areas in Delta State. The Cronbach Alpha method of reliability was used to determine the consistency in the respondents' opinions. The result obtained from regression analysis indicated that the dimensions of organizational culture (leadership style culture, hierarchical structure, culture of job autonomy and workplace social support culture) significantly influenced employees' performance at the Local Government Councils in Delta State. The research concluded that the dimensions of organizational culture (leadership style culture, the culture of hierarchical structure, job autonomy culture, and workplace social support culture) treated in this study have statistically significant influence on the performance of Local Government Council employees as fostering a good culture regarding these dimension would make significant difference to the employees work outcomes. It was recommended that Chairmen, Head of Personnel Management, Treasurers, Directors, Head of Departments /Supervisors at the Local Government Areas in Delta State be trained in having knowledge of organizational culture as this will enhance the performance of employees at the level of Government.
