The Impact of Organisational Culture on Employees’ Job Satisfaction in Colleges of Education in Ghana

Abstract

The study focused on the relationship between organisational culture and employees’ job satisfaction among staff of colleges of education in Ghana. The ultimate goal of the study was to ascertain whether the dimensions of organisational culture influence employees’ job satisfaction. The study adopted mixed research approach with 200 employees who were selected through stratified random sampling. Ten respondents were purposively selected from the 200 respondents and interviewed. The data was analysed iteratively and verbal statements from respondents were used to support the quantitative data. The descriptive analysis of the quantitative data was done to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational culture and among the various culture dimensions. It was also applied to fit ordinal regression model to the data to find out those culture dimensions that significantly influence job satisfaction. The results showed that except for power culture there was a significant relationship between the dimensions of organisational culture and employees’ job satisfaction. The regression analysis revealed that role, achievement, support and general cultures of an organisation positively influence employees’ job satisfaction.
