Abstract


This study investigated the impact of organizational culture on organizational productivity in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Organizational culture was conceptualized as the independent variable while organizational productivity the dependent variable. When examining the variables, the study used a cross-sectional survey. The primary data source was an independently performed questionnaire. Selected Universities and Polytechnics within North East states of Nigeria provided the population for the study, which included 1,970 academic staff members. 314 people were selected from this population as samples using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table.The convenient sample technique was employed as the sampling method in this investigation. The reliability of the study instrument was established using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, with all items scoring over 0.70, and was confirmed by the supervisor's review and approval. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyse and report the data that were collected. The linear regression was used to test the hypotheses. The tests were run with a 0.05 threshold of significance and a 95% confidence interval. The results showed that organizational culture had a significant impact on organizational productivity. The paper recommended that management of tertiary institutions should encourage a positive culture which fosters collaborative and engaged workforce. When employees feel a sense of belonging, trust, and alignment with company values, they are more likely to be motivated, innovative, and productive.
