The Impacts of Corporate Culture on Organizational Performance

摘要

In the global economy, enterprises are facing a changing environment. An enterprise has to create its own unique culture in order to succeed and be sustainable in a multi-culture age. It is important for an enterprise to create its own culture which can be fitted into its industry, corporate strategies and objectives. A leader can build an organization with high performance through the creation of the corporate culture. The corporate culture can not only explain the quality of operation in a company, but also the tool for a leader to manage. Through the shaping and the change of corporate cultures, an organization can become more effective. The culture plays an important role in the performance of an organization. In this research, we investigated the impacts of the corporate culture on organizational performance based on questionnaires. Our participants were from Southern Science Park, Taiwan. The results showed that the bureaucratic culture, which requires standardized operations and procedures, can have positive impacts on all the indices of organizational performance. By contrast, the innovative, supportive and effective cultures only have positive impacts on part of indices of organizational performance.
