ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze how organizational culture is significant to the employee performance outcomes in public secondary schools. The study was guided by the following objectives: To establish the contribution of school values, school artefacts and myths and basic assumptions on employee performance. The study targeted 36 head teachers and 140 teachers in 36 public secondary schools; therefore total target population was 176 respondents. The sample size of employees was selected using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table for determining sample size for research activities. Therefore the sample size for the study was 140 teachers’ who were randomly selected from all the participating schools and distributed proportionately. The research instrument that was employed in this study as tools for data collection was questionnaires namely. Teacher’s Questionnaire (TQ) and an interview schedule. Before the data collection process, the researcher obtained a letter from Jomo Kenyatta University which will be used to seek a permit from the National Council for science and Technology and a letter of introduction to the County Commissioner so as to be allowed to carry on with the research in Public Secondary Schools in Bungoma North Sub County. Data was edited and put in the system to compute the means, variance, and standard deviation. Regression analysis was used to determine the influence of the independent variable on the dependent. The results of the study were presented in frequency tables. The findings show that majority of the respondents were in agreement that school values such as respect for others and employee collaborations enhanced achievement of organizational goals. It is hoped that the study would be of benefit to the school managers in assessing the effectiveness of the organizational culture on employee performance in public secondary schools. The findings of the study would assist the Quality Assurance and Standard officers (QASOS) both at the district and the national levels in doing the follow up organizational culture so as to give more advice and guidance to teachers on how to improve on their teaching approaches and methodology. The study recommends that School value improvement strategies should be put in place since higher ratings of school spirit, frequent student monitoring and evaluation, and more frequent teacher discussions enhance the overall attainment of school goals. Staff cooperation, a high level of staff enthusiasm, uniformity of goals and agreement among staff with regard to program philosophy and policies should be incorporated in schools.
