The relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment

Abstract

A review of the literature reveals that organisational culture can have an influence on the organisational commitment that employees demonstrate. The focus of this study is an investigation of the relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment in a South African motor manufacturing organisation. The empirical study involved the participation of 371 respondents in an organisation. A survey was conducted using the organisational commitment scale and the organisational culture questionnaire to determine the relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment. The results suggest that organisational culture has an effect on organisational commitment. Recommendations are made to successfully implement both organisational culture and organisational commitment change initiatives.
