Abstract:
This study examined the effect of organizational culture on organizational effectiveness of industrial goods companies in Nigeria. This study accessed whether Four (4) dimensions of organizational culture (involvement, mission, adaptability and consistency) can influence organizational effectiveness. The total population of the study was two hundred and forty four(244), using the Taro- Yamane formula for sample size determination, a proportionate sample of one hundred and fifty two (152) employees was drawn out from the total population. Cross sectional survey research design involving employees of three (3) leading industrial goods companies in Nigeria was employed and Questionnaire was administered to one hundred and fifty-two (152) respondents out of which one hundred and fifty (150) were fully completed and retrieved. Data obtained were analyzed using the descriptive (frequency counts, charts, simple percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation); diagnostic statistics (variance inflation factor and Breusch-Pagan and Cook/ Weisberg test for heteroskedasticity); and inferential statistics (regression). The regression results indicated that while involvement culture (F = 13.14; Prob. < F = 0.0000); consistency culture (F = 9.23; Prob. < F=0.0000) and mission of organization (F = 33.15; Prob. < F = 0.0000) significantly influence the level of organizational effectiveness, adaptability culture (F = 3.77; Prob. < F = 0.0532) insignificantly influence the level of organizational effectiveness. In view of the findings, the study recommends the need for management of industrial goods companies to intensify efforts towards their involvement culture to further enhance their effectiveness. Also, management of industrial goods companies need to increase and be consistent with their existing culture; in areas where changes or modifications are required in their culture, this should be consistently implemented in collaboration with employees of organization to be able to promote effectiveness in the organization. Given that adaptability culture insignificantly influence the level of organizational effectiveness, management needs to reappraise their adaptability culture; the adaptability culture should be designed to constantly and swiftly respond to changes in the business environment for achieving organizational effectiveness.
