The effects of organizational culture on job performance and job satisfaction of employees

Abstract

Executive Summary This is an internship report on “The Effects of Organizational Culture on Job Performance and Job Satisfaction of Employees” at Al-Mostofa Group. The report highlights the importance of organizational culture on job performance and job satisfaction. Organizational culture consists of many elements such as, shared vision, mission, goals, internal environment, behavior of management, working environment, leadership style etc. All these elements help and build organizational culture. Job performance is deeply connected with organizational culture. If the culture of the office is positive and pleasant then job performance gets better and employees feel motivated and get productive, and vice versa if the work culture is unfriendly. I have conducted a survey on the employees of Al-Mostofa group where they did not have to enclose their identity so they could be very honest. My study proves this theory through my internship report on Al-Mostofa group’s head office culture and environment. In my report I have shown that culture effects job satisfaction which then effects job performance. In the head office of Al-Mostofa group, leadership style is autocratic and employees get their order mostly from MD sir himself. Md sir has a fondness for having a control on everything. This is good as the decisions are taken quickly. But this creates a negative environment for the employees as their opinion are not valued mostly. Only the top-level managers can share their thoughts and others have to follow orders without much to say or do. Also, the employees are not satisfied with working hours and remuneration. As a result, during my internship, I have seen many employees have left the job for even a slightly better option. I would recommend them to change their leadership policy and value their employees more for more diverse decision which will create a friendly workplace. Also, I would suggest them to change their working day policy. Even if they operate six days a week, they can have half day on Saturday which will help the employees to rest properly and be energized the next day. Thus, they will be able to create a pleasant and friendly work environment and culture and their employees will be satisfied and job performance will be better.
