| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of organizational culture on employees’
performance at Berhan Engineering plc. The conceptual framework was designed byxii
treating organizational culture as an independent variable and employee performance as
dependent variable. Organizational culture was further expressed using specific culture
dimensions such as involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission. To address the
objective, an explanatory survey design was used. The target population of the study was the
staff members who are working in Berhan Engineering plc in Addis Ababa and the company has
a total size of 93 employees at Head Office in Addis Ababa which were captured in the sampling
frame. While a questionnaire was used to gather primary data. The data collected was analyzed
with the aid of descriptive statistical techniques such as mean score. More so, multiple linear
regressions were used to establish the relationship between study variables using Statistical
Package of Social Sciences Version 22. The result of regression indicates that three out of four
predictor variables or organizational cultural dimensions (involvement, consistency, and
adaptability) have statistically significant influence on employee performance. Whereas mission
as one element of organizational culture dimension did not significant influence on employee
performance. The result shows that the four independent variables involvement, consistency,
adaptability and mission that were studied explain 47.4% of variation employees’ performance
as represented by the R² value. The study concluded that improved organizational cultural
practices is an increasingly important tool for the higher employees’ performance. Therefore,
