This research aimed at investigating the relationship that exists between organizational culture, employee motivation and performance. The domains of organizational culture (organizational values, individual beliefs, working environment, and employee relationships) and employee motivation and performance were investigated. In order to find the culture and motivation link, mixed method approach for data collection and analysis has been used. By using Pearson’s and Spearman’s Correlation methods, a positive correlation has been found between the two variables. The study revealed that organizational culture has a direct impact on employee motivation and indirectly on organizational performance as well. The better the organizational culture, the higher the motivational level of employees. It was observed that if organizations develop a strong culture of rewarding and acknowledging employees’ effort, it leads to increase motivation and their performance would be significantly enhanced. Key words: employee, motivation, organisational culture, performance.

This study investigated the moderating effect of organizational culture on the relationships between organizational strategic orientation and organizational performance. Data were collected from 281 middle managers of the banking sector in Pakistan. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that strategic orientation and organizational culture have significant and positive impacts on the performance of the organization. Unexpectedly, organizational culture does not moderate the relationships between strategic orientation and performance. The findings of the study show that organizations that are strategically positioned as well as have a strong culture can be high-performing organizations. As there is a clear lack of research on the moderating effect of culture on the relationships between an organization’s strategic orientation and organizational performance, the current study fills this gap. Likewise, the present study highlights both practical and theoretical implications for the banking sector in Pakistan.

The paper aims to test an explanation of how organizational culture affects the relationship between knowledge sharing and organizational performance. It was expected that organizational culture proxies significantly mediate the relationship between knowledge sharing and performance. The study used a quantitative survey method for the collection of data. A sample of 200 respondents was drawn from the higher education institutes (HEIs) situated in Lahore. The findings revealed that a positive relationship exists; except for when the components were tested individually for their role in moderating it, then learning environment became insignificant. The strong impact of interpersonal communication and trust highlights its significance in boosting knowledge sharing in an organization that results in improved performance. This finding helped the authors to draw on future research implications regarding the components of organizational culture.

Organizational culture is defined as set of goals and values shared by employees in the organization. Recently it has also come to be perceived as a resource of knowledge in the organization. In the literature, along with the studies aiming at identifying the elements of organizational culture, there are some research that study the relationship between organizational culture and performance. This article is a theoretical study of the two concepts and suggests a research model for further research. Recently, knowledge management and innovation strategy have started to be regarded as features of organizational culture. Research shows that these two variables also have significant impacts on organizational performance. Our model suggests measuring the effect of organizational culture on performance along with the supportive impacts of knowledge management and innovation strategy.
