ABSTRACT
It is a well-known fact that business organization develops a
particular work practice and management attitude, which relied,
their shared values, aspirations and goals. A workforce is made up
of people with diverse values and aspirations and goals. A
workforce is made up of people with diverse vales and aspirations,
the organization is expected to recognize these values. The more
the organization accept these values, the higher the morale and
productivity of the employee.
This is easier when member of this
organization are drawn from the same ethnic configuration. The
culture of people which constitute the organization, would which to
express their diverse values and expected that such to be
respected. Culture constitutes the spiritual consciousness of
people and it is deep rooted in their daily lives and they will give
their best to those who will make them grow and allow them
remain their basic core values. However, in any organization there
are power bases and corporate culture are influenced by the
culture of that power base. In most organizations in Nigeria, the
culture of the host community and country at large determines how
work is done.
The study discovered that management practices
are influenced by culture, the cultural orientation of the company's
management determines the management practice the adopt. It is
the management responsibility to cause its workforce to stretch in
other to align to the culture being practice by the organization. In
the light of the above, this study employs a descriptive survey
method in analyzing the impact of culture in organization
performance. Primary and secondary source of data were
employed. Questionnaires were developed and distributed to the
stall of the NBC for a first hand information and chi-square were
