Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The study examined the influence of organisational culture on the commitment
of employees at the Timber Industry Development Division (TIDD) of the
Forestry Commission, Takoradi. Specifically, three research objectives were set
and investigated namely; to assess the indicators of organisational culture in
TIDD; to assess the levels of employee commitment in TIDD; and to analyse
the influence of organisational culture on employee commitment in TIDD. The
study adopted the positivism philosophy thus relying on the quantitative
approach and correlational design. Structured questionnaire was used to gather
data from 105 employees of the organisation. The data was then processed using
the IBM SPSS Statistics (version 26) software. Both descriptive (means and
standard deviations) and inferential statistics (multiple regression) were used to
address issues in the study. The study found involvement, consistency,
adaptability and mission as the dimensions of organisational culture; that there
is high level of employee commitment at the TIDD; and that organisational
culture through the indicators had significant positive influence on employees’
commitment at the TIDD. The study recommends that management of the TIDD
should emphasise on continuously strengthening its organisational culture
