Abstract

Organizational culture as a multidimensional phenomenon shapes the inner context of an organization. Accordingl, the first place is given to a relevant theoretical framework for explaining the phenomenon of organizational culture, and analyze its impact on companies’ operations. This paper develops a theoretical explanation of the impact of organizational culture on business performance through job satisfaction, the involvement of employees, and the dimensions of consistency in the work, which are tested through empirical research on a sample of 100 employees from 15 companies in BiH. The first theoretical explanation assumes that organizational culture affects the pleasure to work by adjusting the values and norms of species-specific needs of employees, while the second assumes that the impact of organizational culture is evident with its norms and values, regardless of the needs of employees. Research has shown that job satisfaction levels of employees systematically and significantly varies in different types of organizational cultures, proving that organizational culture is a factor in job satisfaction, and organizational culture does not affect the level of job satisfaction alignment with the needs of employees, but the actual content of their values and norms.
