Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Date Unknown / Organisations in many industries, such as energy, banking and electronics,
have faced increasingly complex and changing environments brought about by
deregulation, technological revolution, foreign competition and unpredictable
markets. Key to the success of these organisations is the development of a
particular culture for the organisation. A well-conceived and well-managed
organisation culture closely linked to organisation success, can also mean the
difference between success and failure in the present demanding environment.
Organisational culture has been assumed to have important implications, not
only for the individual's affective reactions to organisational life, but also for
organisational effectiveness.
This study investigates the relationship between organizational culture and
effectiveness in the Western Cape banking industry. Beginning with an existing
model of organizational culture and effectiveness, the paper presents a linked
study. The study uses survey data from six organizations designed to test the
applicability of the model in the context of the Western Cape banking industry.
The results support Denison's findings, namely that organisational culture has
a positive impact on effectiveness. The discussion includes several
recommendations for future research.
