Abstract:
The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of organizational culture dimensions on
employee job performance at CBO and this includes evaluating how various dimensions of
organizational culture namely Mission, Involvement, Adaptability, and Consistency impact
employee performance. An explanatory and descriptive research design was employed, the
research employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data
collection methods. Primary data were gathered through questionnaires distributed to
employees across various departments and in-depth interviews with selected management.
Secondary data were also collected from company reports, and websites to enhance the
reliability of the findings. A total of 325 employees were selected by stratified sampling
technique from 1,753 target population, from these 305 were returned and analyzed. The
collected data was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis
and a statistical package for social science software (SPSS version.25) was used in reviewing
primary collected data, taking Employee performance as a dependent variable and
organizational culture dimensions as the explanatory variables. This study investigates the
effect of organizational culture dimensions on employee job performance at the Cooperative
Bank of Oromia (CBO) in Finfinne City. The findings reveal that all four dimensions of
organizational culture significantly influence employee performance, with the Mission and
Involvement dimensions showing the strongest positive effects. Employees reported that a clear
organizational mission and a culture of involvement fostered higher levels of engagement and
productivity. Conversely, a lack of adaptability and consistency was associated with lower
performance levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends that CBO enhance its
organizational culture by clearly articulating its mission and fostering an inclusive
environment that encourages employee involvement. Additionally, the bank should focus on
developing adaptability and consistency within its practices to further improve employee
performance. These changes are expected to not only boost employee morale but also enhance
overall organizational effectiveness, positioning CBO for greater success in the competitive
banking sector.
