EFFECT OF CORPORATE CULTURE ON EMPLOYEE JOB PERFORMANCE: A STUDY OF SELECTED BANKS IN DELTA STATE, NIGERIA.

Abstract

The study examines the effect of corporate culture on employee job performance, a study of

selected banks in Delta State, Nigeria. This study covers the effect of corporate culture on

employee performance in the Nigerian banking industry. It covers only selected banks in

Delta State. A descriptive design was employed in the study. A total population of 16 Banks

with 348 employees was sampled using Taro Yamane’s formula with a sample size of 186

employees of selected banks. The scientific package for Social Science (SPSS version 20)

software was used. Regression analysis was employed for the prediction of the outcome.

Content validity was undertaken to ascertain whether the questionnaire's content was

appropriate and relevant to the study objective. Measurement of the model reliability was

assessed using Cronbach's alpha (CA), and a high-reliability figure from 0.79 to 0.92 was

obtained for all the constructs. The study findings indicate that certain dimensions of culture

power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance- show that an organisation's

values and norms are based upon employee relationships and have a significant positive

connection with employee performance. Employees' beliefs, norms, gestures and all relevant

aspects of organisational culture impact corporate performance. When employees are

committed and have the same criteria and values as organisations have, it could increase the

performance to achieve the whole organisational goals. The organisation's culture should be

developed to sustain continuous development, advance employees' performance style, and

thus increase quality consciousness.
