The study assessed the impact of organizational culture on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Abuja. The questionnaire used was created based on Cameron and Quinn’s Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) in identifying different types of organizational culture. Using a cross-sectional survey research design, the primary data was obtained through administered structured questionnaire to one hundred and twenty-seven (127) SMEs at different sampled locations in Nigeria. Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was used to identify the relationship that exists between the variables and the results revealed that organizational culture measured by clan culture, market culture, adhocracy culture and Hierarchy culture variables have significant relationship of r = 0.616, 0.514, 0.604 and 0.784 respectively with performance. The study concludes that organizational culture have significant influence on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Abuja and that Hierarchy culture is found important in promoting innovative performance than the other type of culture. The study recommendation is thus that SME owners should ensure that all new employees receive a formal briefing on the company's traditions, beliefs, vision, and strategies. They should create and print a common set of procedures and policies to promote seamless discharge of duties and responsibilities in such a way that will foster innovative performance in the work place.

Microenterprises are crucial in sustaining the economy, especially in developing economies like Nigeria. Many of these microenterprises do not take cognizance of necessary determinants like organizational culture and its factors to ensure proper running of their day-to-day activities. The study aims to identify some demographic statistics of employers in technological microenterprises, investigate the factors influencing organizational culture and assess organizational culture's influence on business success among employers in selected technological microenterprises in southwest Nigeria. The study was carried out in three southwestern states in Nigeria with 213 business owners (employers) as respondents. Seventeen factors were explored, but eight were extracted to be considered in measuring the employers' organizational culture: climate, customer demand, technological changes, observed behaviour, norms, consistency, adaptability, and sense of mission. Linear regression analysis was also used to measure organizational culture's impact on technological microenterprises' business performance with SPSS as a statistical tool.   The study confirms a positive and significant relationship between organizational culture and business performance at 5% significance. This study concludes that the eight variables extracted are important factors to consider when measuring the organizational culture of employers in technological microenterprises in southwest Nigeria for better business production.


 
 
 Today, the importance of innovation for enterprises, increase each passing day. As a result of globalization, enterprises are under intense competitive pressure.

Therefore firms have to design their organization structure that encourage to innovation. Mintzberg’s adhocratic organization structure was investigated in this article. Thus, its aim of this study leads to resemblance and diversity between theory and practice via of the theoretical knowledge. As a result of study; high degree of similarity between the application and Mintzberg’s theory, which is related to adhocratic organization structure, has been identified.
 
 

This study aims to determine the influence of work specialization on realization of superordinate goals in selected NGOs in Naivasha sub-county, Kenya. The study was underpinned by the systems-thinking and McKinsey’s 7s models. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The target population consisted of 120 managers and members of the board of directors of eight NGOs in the Naivasha sub-county, Kenya. Using the Krejcie and Morgan formula and the stratified sampling technique, 92 respondents were selected to participate in the study. The research instrument was a self-administered questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions. The thematic analysis method was used for qualitative data analysis, presented using narratives, while quantitative data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Inferential statistics analysis involved Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis in establishing the relationship between work specialization and the realization of superordinate goals. The data was presented using tables. Research ethics were upheld when carrying out the study. This study found that work specialization had a statistically significant relationship with realization of superordinate goals in selected NGOs in Naivasha Sub-county, Kenya. Also, work specialization had a statistically significant influence on the realization of superordinate goals in selected NGOs in the Naivasha sub-county, Kenya, with a p-value of (p<0.05). This study recommends that a similar study be conducted to get other employees' and NGO beneficiaries’ perspectives on work specialization and realization of superordinate goals. The findings of this study will help NGOs to understand the cruciality of work specialization elements in realization of superordinate goals.

This survey aims to assess the effectiveness of Islamic organizational culture currently applied in a broadcasting company in Indonesia. This study will evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, as future developments and organizational changes references. To achieve this goal, data were collected from all 45 employees, using the Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS). This survey measures cultural indexes incorporated into four organizational cultural traits that have been proven to sustain a strong influence on organizational effectiveness: involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission (Denison, 2014). The measurement results indicate that measured organizational culture has a greater focus on the internal aspects, like employee performance, than external aspects such as customer satisfaction and innovation. Furthermore, the Islamic organizational culture used, obtains quite optimal measurement results, at consistency and involvement trait which able to achieve scores at the third and fourth quartiles. However, organizations still need to optimize adaptability and mission traits, which scores only capable to achieve first and second quartiles. The lowest value obtained in the goals and objective index, also shows that organizations need to evaluate the clarity of short-term and long-term goals related to accomplishing the company's vision.
