Organisational Culture and Employees’ Commitment at Timber Industry Development Division of the Forestry Commission, Takorad

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
