Abstract
The purpose of the study was to explore staff perceptions of organizational culture in their institutions and assess the impact of organizational culture on performance from faculty perspective. Data were collected from 80 faculty members from 3 non-faith based universities in Ghana. The study creates awareness and provides guidelines to non-faith based university colleges in formulating strategies to develop organizational culture types that empower faculty to work to achieve organizational goals. The findings showed that dominant existing achievement and support cultures impact positively on staff performance. The study contributes to the knowledge on organizational culture types and its practice especially in non-faith based private university colleges and their implications to performance. It also opens up the discussion on the place of organizational culture on performance in future research.
