Every company has been led by its own culture and there is a strong association between organizational culture and organizational success. Organizational culture is a multidimensional one that may be influenced by many contributing factors. Hence organizations concerned about their culture should be vigilant about the changes happening in all these contributing dimensions to keep it unaffected throughout the journey. This study has made an attempt to identify the major contributing factors of organizational culture and to assess their relative contribution towards the overall organizational culture and their joint effect on employee performance.
