Abstract:

The dedication of employees has been a major factor in determining an organization's success. In order to retain more employees and boost success, productivity, and effectiveness, organisations are becoming more and more interested in the topic of employee commitment. Examining how organisational culture affects employees' commitment in the context of Werabe Comprehensive Specialised Hospital was the primary goal of this study. To achieve the intended purpose of the study, the researcher used both descriptive and explanatory research designs. The 626 employees who made up the study's target population were selected from 232 samples using a proportional stratified random selection technique. Both primary and secondary data sources were employed in the investigation. The study adopted the culture and commitment questionnaires from Denison (1990) and Onyango (2014) as the primary sources for data collection. Both descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (ANOVA, correlation, and regression) statistics were carefully used to analyse the data that had been collected. According to the study, commitment among employees was positively and statistically significantly impacted by involvement, flexibility, and mission. Contrarily, consistency has a statistically significant detrimental impact on workers' commitment. Additionally, engagement, followed by adaptability, is the organisational culture characteristic that contributes the most to the prediction of employees' commitment. Considering the positive impact of organisational culture on the improvement of employees' commitment, the researcher advised the hospital to increase involvement, adaptability, and other organisational culture traits. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that well-structured organisational cultures will offer a viable advantage for organisations, specifically increasing employees' commitment.
