ABSTRACT
This study develops an internal–external institutional framework that explains why firms act in socially responsible ways in the emerging country context of India and Saudi Arabia. Utilizing a mixed method of in-depth study selected companies & individuals, the author found that internal institutional factors, including ethical corporate culture and top management commitment, and external institutional factors, including globalization pressure, Government embeddedness, and normative social pressure, will affect the likelihood of firms to act in socially responsible ways. In particular, implicit ethical corporate culture plays a key role in predicting different aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR), while external institutional mechanisms mainly predict market-oriented CSR initiatives. This study contributes to the research on CSR antecedents by showing that in the emerging economy of India and Saudi Arabia, CSR toward non market stakeholders is more close

The study of Organizational Behavior OB is really intriguing as well as challenging too. It is related to individuals, a team of individuals collaborating in teams. The research ends up being a lot more challenging when situational factors connect. The research of organizational behavior connects to the expected behavior of an individual in the organization. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a certain work circumstance. It is the predictability of a supervisor concerning the expected behavior of an individual. There are no absolutes in human behavior. It is the human variable that is contributing to the performance hence the study of human practices is very important.

Organizational Behavior: A Study on Managers, Employees, and TeamsMuhammad Tawakal Shah
In recent decades, there has been a tremendous shift in the structure and operation of organizations.
Advancements in technology and skill diversity have fostered a modern workplace of skill and workflow
interdependencies. Hence, for success in today’s business world, it is imperative for organizations to
understand the forces that impact team outcomes. This study on 100 managers from the same organization
shows that female managers have higher communication skills when compared to male managers,
but are also more influenced by group think. A total of 200 employees from this organization were also
studied and the results show that female employees contribute to team outcomes more than male
employees. Implications for researchers, managers, and human resource professionals are considered.
Theoretically, it is important to understand how and why teamwork affects people’s success in the
workplace. Practically, it is important for managers to know whether teamwork affects performance
because it proxies cohesiveness and synergy. The study presented in this article clearly suggests that
teamwork affects people’s careers and workplace interactions and therefore is worthy of continued
scholarly investigation.

Abstract
This paper refers to recognition of the specific organizational structure in a
public enterprise, where the existing organizational culture is compared with
the ideal culture, i.e., the culture that should support the achievement of
strategic goals. The differences between the existing and the ideal
organizational culture and their correlation were verified. The results show a
statistically significant difference between the existing and the ideal culture,
i.e., they show that there are statistically significant deviations among them.
Apart from the comparison of the overlapping and deviations between the
existing and desired (ideal) culture, the basic values/motives were analyzed
on a sample of respondents who determine and implement the strategy of
the organization. In order to clarify the changes that should occur in order to
bring the existing organizational culture closer to the ideal, the dominant
values were checked. It is interesting to see that the existing values of
strategic managers are somewhat in line with the cultural ideal that the
organization desires, but are not fully expressed in order that is expected to
realize the desired changes in culture as well in strategic achievements.
Key Words
Organizational culture; change management; organizational values, personal
values.

INTRODUCTION
In this paper, on the example of a 100% state-owned public company, the
assumptions of changes implementation that the organization must take to
be more successful in the realization of strategic goals in a liberalized market
are analyzed. The assumption of the change relate primarily to the
adaptation of the organizational culture recognized by the concerned
organization as its competitive advantage compared to other competitors in
a relatively complex and turbulet market.
The results of this paper can be the guideline to other similar organizations
that aim to manage change systematically and to work on the development
of their organizational culture or to those organizations that want to start the
change with the strategic elements and gradually step down to operational
ones. Considering the fact that this paper deals with the analysis of dominant
values among strategic managers, the obtained results can help
organizations to look at the behavior that is synchronized with culture and
triggers or slows down the desired changes. In other words, the presented

What is Organizational Behavior?
To begin our study of organizational behavior, we could just say that it is the study of behavior in organizations and the study of the behavior of organizations, but such a definition reveals nothing about what this study involves or examines. To reach a more useful and meaningful definition, let’s first look at what an organization is. An organization is a collection of people who work together and coordinate their actions to achieve a wide variety of goals. The goals are what individuals are trying to accomplish as members of an organization (earning a lot of money, helping promote a worthy cause, achieving certain levels of personal power and prestige, enjoying a satisfying work experience, and so forth). The goals are also what the organization as a whole is trying to accomplish (providing innovative goods and services that customers want; getting candidates elected; raising money for medical research; making a profit to reward stockholders, managers, and employees; and being socially responsible and protecting the natural environment). An effective organization is one that achieves its goals.
Organization
A collection of people who work together and coordinate their actions to achieve individual and organizational goals.
Police forces, for example, are formed to achieve the goals of providing security for law-abiding citizens and providing police officers with a secure, rewarding career while they perform their valuable services. Paramount Pictures was formed to achieve the goal of providing people with entertainment while making a profit in the process. Actors, directors, writers, and musicians receive well-paid and interesting work.
Organizations exist to provide goods and services that people want, and the amount and quality of these goods and services are products of the behaviors and performance of an organization’s employees—of its managers, of highly skilled employees in sales or research and development, and of the employees who actually produce or provide the goods and services. Today, most people make their living by working in or for some kind of company or organization. People such as a company’s owners or managers—or company employees who desire to become future owners or managers—all benefit from studying organizational behavior. Indeed, people who seek to help or volunteer their time to work in nonprofit or charitable organizations also must learn the principles of organizational behavior. Like most employ.

In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses.

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

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:
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.
