| Summary: | The paper explains the impact of organizational culture on employees’ job
satisfaction. Organizational culture, through its values and norms, shapes
an organization’s internal context and thus impacts different elements,
including job satisfaction. The paper develops two theoretical explanations
of organizational culture’s impact on job satisfaction, which are verified
through empirical research on a sample of 324 employees from 16 companies in
Montenegro. The first theoretical explanation starts with the assumption
that organizational culture impacts job satisfaction by harmonizing its
values and norms with specific types of employee needs, while the second
starts with the assumption that organizational culture impacts job
satisfaction based on the content of its values and norms, regardless of the
employees’ needs. The research shows that employees’ job satisfaction level
systematically and significantly varies in different organizational culture
types, proving that organizational culture is a job satisfaction factor; and
that organizational culture does not impact the job satisfaction level by
harmonizing with employee needs but through the content of its values and
norms. It also shows that the level of job satisfaction is highest in task
culture, followed by power culture, and lowest in role culture. |
