Impact Assessment Of Corporate Culture On
Employee Job Performance
Olu Ojo
Abstract
This research study assesses empirically the impact of corporate culture on employee job performance
as well as organisational productivity using Nigerian banking industry as the case study. We try to ascertain
if organizational culture affects employee job performance, and to formulate recommendations regarding
corporate culture and employee job performance. In order to achieve the above objectives, the following
research questions were asked: Does corporate culture have any effect on employee job performance? And
in what way does corporate culture impacts employee job performance? Two hypotheses were advanced:
(i) There is no positive relationship between organizational culture and employee job performance, and
(ii) There is no positive relationship between corporate culture and organizational productivity in Nigerian
banking industry. The study uses survey research method. The case study companies were selected using
stratified and simple random sampling techniques; while our respondents were selected using simple random
sampling technique. The findings of this study are that a large number of respondents (57.7%) strongly
agree that corporate culture has effect on employee job performance, and that 48.7% of the employees also
agree that corporate culture determines the productivity level of the organization. These findings made us
to accept our two alternative hypotheses and reject the null hypotheses because in both cases the calculated
values of chi-square are greater than the tabulated values.

Introduction
Organization development is concerned with
the analysis and diagnosis of the factor that
determine organizational effectiveness, and the
planning and delivery of programmes to increase
that effectiveness.
Organizations want to obtain the commitment
of their employees. Management would like its
employees to identify with the values, norms
and artefacts of the organization, hence the need
for organizational culture. Management needs to
explain and imbibe its culture in its employees;
this will enable the employee to get familiar with
the organizational system. During this process
of explanation, the employee learns about the
organizational culture and decides whether he
can cope with it or not. This means that each
organization is a learning environment. It is the
proper understanding of the organizational culture
that the performance of the employee in the
organization. Performance is the extent to which
an individual is carrying out assignment or task. It
refers to the degree of accomplishment of the task
that makes up an employee’s job (Cascio, 2006).
Job performance is the net effect of an employee’s
effort as modified by abilities and roles or task
perceptions (Jones, 2003).
The culture of the organization should be
developed to support continuous improvement,
improve employees’ style of performing their job
and thus develop quality awareness.
To operate successfully across cultures, it
is important to be able to recognize cultural
differences and be adaptable (Deter, Schroeder,
and Mauriel, 2000). Organisational culture finds
expression through the thoughts, intentions,
actions and interpretations of members of the
organization (Hallett, 2003).
Academic interest in corporate culture is
evidenced by the level of attention it has received
over the last few decades.The relationship between
corporate culture and performance has been the
subject of abundant research in several fields,
including strategic management, organisational
behaviour, and industrial organizations. While this
topic is rich in studies, many researchers concur on
the fact that there is no agreement on the precise
nature of the relationship between corporate
culture and performance.
Despite the plethora of studies on corporate
culture in the last few decades, there is no widely
accepted causal relationship between corporate
culture and performance. The empirical evidences
emerging from various studies about the effect
of corporate culture on performance have so far
yielded mixed results that are inconclusive and
contradictory.
Because of these contradictory results, the
question of whether corporate culture improves or
worsens employee’s performance is still worthy of
further research such as the one being undertaken
in this study. In addition, despite the existence of
these studies, very little attention has been given to
the banking industry. This means that the impact
of corporate culture on employee’s performance
in the banking industry has not received adequate
research attention in Nigeria. Thus, there is a
major gap in the relevant literature on Nigeria,
which has to be covered by research. This research
attempts to fill this gap by studying the situation of
the Nigerian banking industry and providing more
empirical evidence on the effects of corporate
culture on employee job performance based on
individual bank-level data.
Literature Review
Organizational culture has been defined as
the “normative glue” that holds an organization
together (Tichy, 1982). Forehand and von
Gilmer (1964) suggest that culture is the set of
characteristics that describe an organization and
distinguish it from others. Schein (1990), in a
more comprehensive fashion, defines culture as
values and behaviors that are believed to lead to
success and are thus taught to new members.
Central to the culture definition is the idea that
culture must be learned and shared (Titiev, 1959).
The culture of a group can be defined as: “A
pattern of shared basic assumptions that the
group learned as it solved its problems of external
adaptation and internal integration, that has
worked well enough to be considered valid and
390
Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2
Business Intelligence Journal August
therefore, to be taught to new members as the
correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation
to those problems. (Schein, 1990).”
In other words, as groups evolve over time, they
face two basic challenges: integrating individuals
into an effective whole, and adapting effectively
to the external environment in order to survive. As
groups find solutions to these problems over time,
they engage in a kind of collective learning that
creates the set of shared assumptions and beliefs
we call “culture.”
Morgan (1997) describes culture as “an active
living phenomenon through which people jointly
creates and recreates the worlds in which they
live.”
For Morgan, the three basic questions for
cultural analysts are:
What are the shared frames of reference that•	
make organization possible?
Where do they come from?•	
How are they created, communicated, and•	
sustained
There are many ways to visualize the
concept of organizational culture. One popular
conceptualization is the onion model. If you cut
an onion in half and look at it, you will see many
layers. An organization’s culture can be visually
represented in this way (as illustrated in Figure
1).

When we walk around an organization, there
are elements of the organization’s culture that are
‘on the surface’and are relatively easily visible.We
can see many cultural symbols (e.g., whether your
office is on a floor close to the top or the bottom
of the building, how big your office is), artefacts
(e.g., computers), and patterns of behaviour (e.g.,
how and where people interact, how they behave
in formal and informal meetings).
Equally important, but the less visible aspects
of culture are norms, values and basic assumptions
people make.
Another way of conceptualizing organizational
culture is in terms of its ‘hard’ and its ‘soft’ sides.
As we see in Figure 2, organizational culture is
‘supported’ by both social/psychological aspects
(e.g., stories, symbols, rituals) and by some more
concrete elements such as power structures,
hierarchical structure and control systems (e.g.,
financial, measurement and reward systems).

Organizational culture has been linked to
economic performance and organization viability/
success (Denison & Mishra, 1995; Pothukuchi,
Damanpour, Choi, Chen, and Park 2002; Sorensen,
2002; Devis, 2007). For example, organizations
dedicated to continuous improvement, with
visionary leaders who ‘walk their talk’ and focus
391
O. Ojo - Impact Assessment Of Corporate Culture On Employee Job Performance

on a set of core values, have been shown to be more
financially successful in the long-term ( Kotter &
Heskett, 1992). Organizational culture has also
been shown to be important for successful new
product/process innovation and organizational
change (Plakhotnik and Tonette, 2005; Umiker,
1999).
‘Culture is one of the most precious things
a company has, so they must work harder on it
than anything else,’ says Herb. Various studies
indicate that companies with strong cultures
are more likely to be successful, but only under
a particular set of conditions. The effect of
organizational culture depends partly in its
strength. Corporate culture strength refers to how
widely and deeply employees hold the company’s
dominant values and assumptions. In a strong
organizational culture, most employees across all
subunits hold the dominant values. These values
are also institutionalized through well-established
artefacts, thereby making it difficult for those
values to change. Furthermore, strong cultures
tend to be long-lasting; some can be traced back
to company founder’s values and assumptions. In
contrast, companies have weak culture when the
dominant values are short-lived and held mainly
by a few people at the top of the organization.
A strong corporate culture potentially increases
a company’s success by serving three important
functions:
i. Control System: Organizational culture is
a deeply embedded form of social control that
influences employee decision and behaviour.
Culture is pervasive and operates unconsciously.
ii. Social glue:	 Organizational culture
is the ‘social glue’ that bonds people together
and makes them feels part of the organization
experience.Employeesaremotivatedtointernalize
the organization’s dominant culture because this
helps fulfil their need for social identity. This
social glue is increasingly important as a way to
attract new staff and retain top performers.
iii.Sense-making:Organizationalcultureassists
the sense-making process. It helps employees
understand what goes on and why things happen
in the company. Corporate culture also makes it
easier for them to understand what is expected of
them and to interact with other employees who
know the culture and believe in it.
People are constantly surrounded by culture.
It forms the background (often invisible) of
our work-lives, colouring everything in an
organization. Organizational culture also provides
a powerful mechanism for controlling behaviour
by influencing how we attach meaning to our
world and how we interpret events.

Methodology
The term methodology is a system of explicit
rules and procedures in which research is based
and against which claims of knowledge are
evaluated (Ojo, 2003). Therefore, this section
focuses on the research techniques adopted and
used for this study with the aim of achieving the
research objectives.
In this study, survey research design is adopted.
Survey research design was chosen because
the sampled elements and the variables that are
being studied are simply being observed as they
are without making any attempt to control or
manipulate them.
The theoretical population of the study consists
of the entire workers of the banks in Lagos State,
Nigeria. The choice of Lagos State stems from
the fact that the Headquarter Offices of Nigerian
banks are located in Lagos State and that there is
concentration of banks in Lagos State with over
25 percent of the branches of these banks in Lagos
State alone. For effective coverage and lower cost,
stratified sampling technique was used to select
the participating banks. Nigerian banks were
stratified into two strata based on the year they
were established. Thus we have ‘old’ generation
banks and ‘new’ generation banks. Two banks
were selected from each stratum. Employees
in selected banks were divided into three strata:
management staff, senior staff, and junior staff. A
simple random sampling technique was used to
select a total of 100 employees that constituted our
sample size. It should be pointed out that limited
financial resources at the researcher’s disposal
could not permit or allow for a greater sample
size.
Every research work has a framework for
collecting data. Its function is to ensure that
the required data are collected accurately and
economically. Primary method of data collection
was used in this study. The primary data consists
of a number of items in structured questionnaire
that was administered to the respondents. The
decision to structure the questionnaire is predicated
on the need to reduce variability in the meanings
possessed by the questions as a way of ensuring
comparability of responses. The questionnaire
is titled “Corporate Culture and Employee Job
Performance Questionnaire.” However, only 78
out of 100 respondents returned their questionnaire
and were used for final analysis in this study.
One important way of ensuring that we have
used the right instrument and have taken correct
measurement is that our outcome must be in
consonance with two major criteria for measuring
quality known as validity and reliability (Ojo,
2003).
To ensure the validity and reliability of the
questionnaire used for the study, even number of
experts were consulted to look at the questionnaire
items in relation to its ability to achieve the stated
objectives of the research, level of coverage,
comprehensibility, logicality and suitability for
prospective respondents. A pilot test which took
the form of test-retest method was conducted at
the branches of selected banks in Sango-Ota, Ogun
State where 10 workers from each of the bank
branches were selected using purposive random
sampling technique. The choice of Sango-Ota
for the pilot study was informed by the fact that
it is the city where the researcher is living with
a fair concentration of the branches of the banks
studied.
Data collected from the questionnaire were
analysed, summarised, and interpreted accordingly
with the aid of descriptive statistical techniques
such as total score and simple percentage. Chi-
square was used to measure the discrepancies
existing between the observed and expected
frequency and to proof the level of significance in
testing stated hypotheses.

Testing Of Hypotheses
Hypotheses testing are very crucial in a research
work because until a hypothesis has been tested
and checked against available data, it is nothing
more than a guess. There are various statistical
tools that can be use for testing of hypotheses but
this research work will be limited to the use of chi-
square (x2
) statistical tool.
The chi-square test is used in goodness of fit
to assess whether a particular set of observation
is sufficiently reliable for the purpose for which it
is been collected. Chi-square involves calculating
the probability that an observed value randomly
picked from the population equals a normal curve
frequency of the hypothetical population. Hence,
the observed and expected set of frequencies will
be compared and arranged in single columns.

Empirical Findings
Based on analysed data, the findings in this
study include the followings:
396
Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2
Business Intelligence Journal August
(i) A large number of respondents (57.7%)
strongly agree that corporate culture has effect
on employee job performance.
(ii) 48.7% of the employees also agree that
corporate culture determines the productivity
level of the organization.
(iii) This study further reveals that there is a
positive relationship between corporate
culture and employee job performance. This
is evidenced in the first hypothesis tested in
which the calculated value of chi-square 56.23
is greater than the tabulated value of 9.488.
(iv) There is also a positive relationship between
organizational culture and corporate culture
and organizational productivity. This also
came from the second hypothesis in which the
calculated value of chi-square 63.67 is greater
than the tabulated value of 9.488 which made
us to accept alternative hypothesis two and
reject null hypothesis two.
Conclusion
In this study, the researcher tried to look at
the impact of corporate culture on employee job
performance with evidence from Nigerian banking
industry.
Questionnaires were administered to
respondents who were randomly selected from
sampled banks to find out their opinions and views
on whether corporate culture has an impact on
employee job performance.
What we deduced from this study is that
corporate culture is very important in every
organization and that it has positive impact on
employee job performance. Besides, corporate
culture affects the level of organisational
productivity in a positive way.
This study shows that there is a positive
relationship between organizational culture and
employee job performance.
Recommendations
The following recommendations are made to
the management of case study banks and other
organizations that are interested in modifying their
culture in order to improve their employees’ job
performance.
Every individual has different culture and
beliefs that he works with and when he joins an
organization that has a completely different culture
and beliefs from his own, he should be allowed
to internalize himself first with the organization’s
culture and values to know whether he can cope
with them or not. It is the ability of the employee
to cope with the organizations culture that will
determine how he will perform on his job.
In cases where an organizational culture must
be changed, employees must first of all be notified
and made to learn the modification of the old
culture as this will affect their performance.
Organizational culture of must be binding on
all member and staff of the company as this will
encourage uniformity among members of the
organization and thus enhance commitment and
group efficiency.

  • 1. 388 Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2 Business Intelligence Journal August Impact Assessment Of Corporate Culture On Employee Job Performance Olu Ojo Abstract This research study assesses empirically the impact of corporate culture on employee job performance as well as organisational productivity using Nigerian banking industry as the case study. We try to ascertain if organizational culture affects employee job performance, and to formulate recommendations regarding corporate culture and employee job performance. In order to achieve the above objectives, the following research questions were asked: Does corporate culture have any effect on employee job performance? And in what way does corporate culture impacts employee job performance? Two hypotheses were advanced: (i) There is no positive relationship between organizational culture and employee job performance, and (ii) There is no positive relationship between corporate culture and organizational productivity in Nigerian banking industry. The study uses survey research method. The case study companies were selected using stratified and simple random sampling techniques; while our respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique. The findings of this study are that a large number of respondents (57.7%) strongly agree that corporate culture has effect on employee job performance, and that 48.7% of the employees also agree that corporate culture determines the productivity level of the organization. These findings made us to accept our two alternative hypotheses and reject the null hypotheses because in both cases the calculated values of chi-square are greater than the tabulated values.

Ojo - Impact Assessment Of Corporate Culture On Employee Job Performance 2009 Olu Ojo Introduction Organization development is concerned with the analysis and diagnosis of the factor that determine organizational effectiveness, and the planning and delivery of programmes to increase that effectiveness. Organizations want to obtain the commitment of their employees. Management would like its employees to identify with the values, norms and artefacts of the organization, hence the need for organizational culture. Management needs to explain and imbibe its culture in its employees; this will enable the employee to get familiar with the organizational system. During this process of explanation, the employee learns about the organizational culture and decides whether he can cope with it or not. This means that each organization is a learning environment. It is the proper understanding of the organizational culture that the performance of the employee in the organization. Performance is the extent to which an individual is carrying out assignment or task. It refers to the degree of accomplishment of the task that makes up an employee’s job (Cascio, 2006). Job performance is the net effect of an employee’s effort as modified by abilities and roles or task perceptions (Jones, 2003). The culture of the organization should be developed to support continuous improvement, improve employees’ style of performing their job and thus develop quality awareness. To operate successfully across cultures, it is important to be able to recognize cultural differences and be adaptable (Deter, Schroeder, and Mauriel, 2000). Organisational culture finds expression through the thoughts, intentions, actions and interpretations of members of the organization (Hallett, 2003). Academic interest in corporate culture is evidenced by the level of attention it has received over the last few decades.The relationship between corporate culture and performance has been the subject of abundant research in several fields, including strategic management, organisational behaviour, and industrial organizations. While this topic is rich in studies, many researchers concur on the fact that there is no agreement on the precise nature of the relationship between corporate culture and performance. Despite the plethora of studies on corporate culture in the last few decades, there is no widely accepted causal relationship between corporate culture and performance. The empirical evidences emerging from various studies about the effect of corporate culture on performance have so far yielded mixed results that are inconclusive and contradictory. Because of these contradictory results, the question of whether corporate culture improves or worsens employee’s performance is still worthy of further research such as the one being undertaken in this study. In addition, despite the existence of these studies, very little attention has been given to the banking industry. This means that the impact of corporate culture on employee’s performance in the banking industry has not received adequate research attention in Nigeria. Thus, there is a major gap in the relevant literature on Nigeria, which has to be covered by research. This research attempts to fill this gap by studying the situation of the Nigerian banking industry and providing more empirical evidence on the effects of corporate culture on employee job performance based on individual bank-level data. Literature Review Organizational culture has been defined as the “normative glue” that holds an organization together (Tichy, 1982). Forehand and von Gilmer (1964) suggest that culture is the set of characteristics that describe an organization and distinguish it from others. Schein (1990), in a more comprehensive fashion, defines culture as values and behaviors that are believed to lead to success and are thus taught to new members. Central to the culture definition is the idea that culture must be learned and shared (Titiev, 1959). The culture of a group can be defined as: “A pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as it solved its problems of external adaptation and internal integration, that has worked well enough to be considered valid and
  • 3. 390 Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2 Business Intelligence Journal August therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems. (Schein, 1990).” In other words, as groups evolve over time, they face two basic challenges: integrating individuals into an effective whole, and adapting effectively to the external environment in order to survive. As groups find solutions to these problems over time, they engage in a kind of collective learning that creates the set of shared assumptions and beliefs we call “culture.” Morgan (1997) describes culture as “an active living phenomenon through which people jointly creates and recreates the worlds in which they live.” For Morgan, the three basic questions for cultural analysts are: What are the shared frames of reference that• make organization possible? Where do they come from?• How are they created, communicated, and• sustained There are many ways to visualize the concept of organizational culture. One popular conceptualization is the onion model. If you cut an onion in half and look at it, you will see many layers. An organization’s culture can be visually represented in this way (as illustrated in Figure 1). Figure 1: The Onion Model of Organisational Culture Stories Myths Symbols Power Structures Org’al Estructures Control Systems Ritual Routines Culture Soft Hard Source: Organizational Cultural Analysis: The Importance of Organizational Culture Copyright©1999, 2000 Holistic Management Pty. Ltd... When we walk around an organization, there are elements of the organization’s culture that are ‘on the surface’and are relatively easily visible.We can see many cultural symbols (e.g., whether your office is on a floor close to the top or the bottom of the building, how big your office is), artefacts (e.g., computers), and patterns of behaviour (e.g., how and where people interact, how they behave in formal and informal meetings). Equally important, but the less visible aspects of culture are norms, values and basic assumptions people make. Another way of conceptualizing organizational culture is in terms of its ‘hard’ and its ‘soft’ sides. As we see in Figure 2, organizational culture is ‘supported’ by both social/psychological aspects (e.g., stories, symbols, rituals) and by some more concrete elements such as power structures, hierarchical structure and control systems (e.g., financial, measurement and reward systems).

Organizational culture has been linked to economic performance and organization viability/ success (Denison & Mishra, 1995; Pothukuchi, Damanpour, Choi, Chen, and Park 2002; Sorensen, 2002; Devis, 2007). For example, organizations dedicated to continuous improvement, with visionary leaders who ‘walk their talk’ and focus
  • 4. 391 O. Ojo - Impact Assessment Of Corporate Culture On Employee Job Performance 2009 Olu Ojo on a set of core values, have been shown to be more financially successful in the long-term ( Kotter & Heskett, 1992). Organizational culture has also been shown to be important for successful new product/process innovation and organizational change (Plakhotnik and Tonette, 2005; Umiker, 1999). ‘Culture is one of the most precious things a company has, so they must work harder on it than anything else,’ says Herb. Various studies indicate that companies with strong cultures are more likely to be successful, but only under a particular set of conditions. The effect of organizational culture depends partly in its strength. Corporate culture strength refers to how widely and deeply employees hold the company’s dominant values and assumptions. In a strong organizational culture, most employees across all subunits hold the dominant values. These values are also institutionalized through well-established artefacts, thereby making it difficult for those values to change. Furthermore, strong cultures tend to be long-lasting; some can be traced back to company founder’s values and assumptions. In contrast, companies have weak culture when the dominant values are short-lived and held mainly by a few people at the top of the organization. A strong corporate culture potentially increases a company’s success by serving three important functions: i. Control System: Organizational culture is a deeply embedded form of social control that influences employee decision and behaviour. Culture is pervasive and operates unconsciously. ii. Social glue: Organizational culture is the ‘social glue’ that bonds people together and makes them feels part of the organization experience.Employeesaremotivatedtointernalize the organization’s dominant culture because this helps fulfil their need for social identity. This social glue is increasingly important as a way to attract new staff and retain top performers. iii.Sense-making:Organizationalcultureassists the sense-making process. It helps employees understand what goes on and why things happen in the company. Corporate culture also makes it easier for them to understand what is expected of them and to interact with other employees who know the culture and believe in it. People are constantly surrounded by culture. It forms the background (often invisible) of our work-lives, colouring everything in an organization. Organizational culture also provides a powerful mechanism for controlling behaviour by influencing how we attach meaning to our world and how we interpret events. Objectives Of The Study The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of corporate culture on employee job performance. In line with this primary objective, the secondary objectives are as follows: To ascertain if organizational culture affectsi. employee job performance. To determine empirically the relationshipii. between corporate culture and employee job performance. To formulate recommendations regardingiii. corporate culture and employee job performance. Research Questions This research study is poised towards providing answers to the following questions: Does corporate culture have any effect oni. employee job performance? In what way does corporate culture impactsii. employee job performance? Research Hypotheses In order to answer the research questions and achieve the objectives of the study, the following hypotheses are advanced and will be tested in the course of this study. Hypothesis 1 H0: There is no positive relationship between corporate culture and employee
  • 5. 392 Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2 Business Intelligence Journal August job performance in Nigerian banking industry H1 There is a positive relationship between corporate culture and employee job performance in Nigerian banking industry. Hypothesis 2 H0 There is no positive relationship between corporate culture and organizational productivity in Nigerian banking industry. H1 There is a positive relationship between corporate culture and organizational productivity in Nigerian banking industry. Methodology The term methodology is a system of explicit rules and procedures in which research is based and against which claims of knowledge are evaluated (Ojo, 2003). Therefore, this section focuses on the research techniques adopted and used for this study with the aim of achieving the research objectives. In this study, survey research design is adopted. Survey research design was chosen because the sampled elements and the variables that are being studied are simply being observed as they are without making any attempt to control or manipulate them. The theoretical population of the study consists of the entire workers of the banks in Lagos State, Nigeria. The choice of Lagos State stems from the fact that the Headquarter Offices of Nigerian banks are located in Lagos State and that there is concentration of banks in Lagos State with over 25 percent of the branches of these banks in Lagos State alone. For effective coverage and lower cost, stratified sampling technique was used to select the participating banks. Nigerian banks were stratified into two strata based on the year they were established. Thus we have ‘old’ generation banks and ‘new’ generation banks. Two banks were selected from each stratum. Employees in selected banks were divided into three strata: management staff, senior staff, and junior staff. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a total of 100 employees that constituted our sample size. It should be pointed out that limited financial resources at the researcher’s disposal could not permit or allow for a greater sample size. Every research work has a framework for collecting data. Its function is to ensure that the required data are collected accurately and economically. Primary method of data collection was used in this study. The primary data consists of a number of items in structured questionnaire that was administered to the respondents. The decision to structure the questionnaire is predicated on the need to reduce variability in the meanings possessed by the questions as a way of ensuring comparability of responses. The questionnaire is titled “Corporate Culture and Employee Job Performance Questionnaire.” However, only 78 out of 100 respondents returned their questionnaire and were used for final analysis in this study. One important way of ensuring that we have used the right instrument and have taken correct measurement is that our outcome must be in consonance with two major criteria for measuring quality known as validity and reliability (Ojo, 2003). To ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire used for the study, even number of experts were consulted to look at the questionnaire items in relation to its ability to achieve the stated objectives of the research, level of coverage, comprehensibility, logicality and suitability for prospective respondents. A pilot test which took the form of test-retest method was conducted at the branches of selected banks in Sango-Ota, Ogun State where 10 workers from each of the bank branches were selected using purposive random sampling technique. The choice of Sango-Ota for the pilot study was informed by the fact that it is the city where the researcher is living with a fair concentration of the branches of the banks studied. Data collected from the questionnaire were analysed, summarised, and interpreted accordingly with the aid of descriptive statistical techniques such as total score and simple percentage. Chi- square was used to measure the discrepancies existing between the observed and expected frequency and to proof the level of significance in testing stated hypotheses.

Testing Of Hypotheses Hypotheses testing are very crucial in a research work because until a hypothesis has been tested and checked against available data, it is nothing more than a guess. There are various statistical tools that can be use for testing of hypotheses but this research work will be limited to the use of chi- square (x2 ) statistical tool. The chi-square test is used in goodness of fit to assess whether a particular set of observation is sufficiently reliable for the purpose for which it is been collected. Chi-square involves calculating the probability that an observed value randomly picked from the population equals a normal curve frequency of the hypothetical population. Hence, the observed and expected set of frequencies will be compared and arranged in single columns.

Empirical Findings Based on analysed data, the findings in this study include the followings:
  • 9. 396 Business Intelligence Journal - August, 2009 Vol. 2 No. 2 Business Intelligence Journal August (i) A large number of respondents (57.7%) strongly agree that corporate culture has effect on employee job performance. (ii) 48.7% of the employees also agree that corporate culture determines the productivity level of the organization. (iii) This study further reveals that there is a positive relationship between corporate culture and employee job performance. This is evidenced in the first hypothesis tested in which the calculated value of chi-square 56.23 is greater than the tabulated value of 9.488. (iv) There is also a positive relationship between organizational culture and corporate culture and organizational productivity. This also came from the second hypothesis in which the calculated value of chi-square 63.67 is greater than the tabulated value of 9.488 which made us to accept alternative hypothesis two and reject null hypothesis two. Conclusion In this study, the researcher tried to look at the impact of corporate culture on employee job performance with evidence from Nigerian banking industry. Questionnaires were administered to respondents who were randomly selected from sampled banks to find out their opinions and views on whether corporate culture has an impact on employee job performance. What we deduced from this study is that corporate culture is very important in every organization and that it has positive impact on employee job performance. Besides, corporate culture affects the level of organisational productivity in a positive way. This study shows that there is a positive relationship between organizational culture and employee job performance. Recommendations The following recommendations are made to the management of case study banks and other organizations that are interested in modifying their culture in order to improve their employees’ job performance. Every individual has different culture and beliefs that he works with and when he joins an organization that has a completely different culture and beliefs from his own, he should be allowed to internalize himself first with the organization’s culture and values to know whether he can cope with them or not. It is the ability of the employee to cope with the organizations culture that will determine how he will perform on his job. In cases where an organizational culture must be changed, employees must first of all be notified and made to learn the modification of the old culture as this will affect their performance. Organizational culture of must be binding on all member and staff of the company as this will encourage uniformity among members of the organization and thus enhance commitment and group efficiency.
