Abstract
Every organisation has its own specific way of doing things, developed norms and procedures
over time, different atmosphere and feeling and this is the organisation culture. Organisation
culture develops overtime to cope up with such dynamic changes and meet the varying demand
of employee expectations and satisfaction which in turn influence the employee's performance.
The study analyses the influence of organisation culture on employee's performance with a focus
on Kalangala District Local Government (KDLG). It has offered recommendations on what can
be done to achieve optimum performance while adopting the right culture. The study employed a
descriptive research design with the target population comprising of a random sample of 127
members of staff from the organization at different levels. The data has been collected using
questionnaires, interview guides and focus group discussions and analysed using a 5 point likert
scale, to determine whether organisation culture really affects the employee's performance. The
researcher has provided an introduction letter from the university as assurance that the
information would be treated with maximum confidentiality, as reluctance to provide some
personal information was an anticipated limitation of the study. Collected data was analysed
using SPSS software and data represented in graphs, charts and tables for better understanding
and interpretation. Since employee's performance is one of the important factors for competion
in this global market, the purpose of this study is to explain the effect of the four elements of
Organisation culture namely; organisation values, management styles and work processes to the
employee's performance. The results of this study suggest that managers should focus on the
factors that have a significant effect on employee performance, if they want to enhance their
service delivery.
The sophisticated and extensive nature of the research added value to the organization stud ies
discipline by providing an important qualitative perception towards organizational culture and
employee performance and initiated further discussions to create an effective framework
between organizational culture and its impact on performance.
