The competing values framework: Understanding the impact of organizational culture on the quality of work life

Abstract

This study uses the competing values framework as a tool to investigate the relationships between organizational culture and several important job related variables. The findings indicate that group cultural values are positively related to organizational commitment, job involvement, empowerment and job satisfaction, and negatively related to intent to turnover. While hierarchical cultural values are negatively related to organizational commitment, job involvement, empowerment and job satisfaction, and positively related to intent to turnover.
