Mati Alexander - University of Nairobi, Kenya


ABSTRACT

Although strategy implementation is a key factor in organizational performance, other factors too enter into play. The main objective of this study was to establish the influence of organizational culture on performance of large private health facilities. By use of a cross-sectional descriptive survey, data from 58 large private health facilities were gathered using a structured questionnaire. It was further analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regressions statistical methods. The results revealed that organizational culture has not statistically significant effects on the performance of the facilities. The findings contribute to the general body of knowledge and provide a backdrop for further advancement of theory and research. The study informs the policy makers on the need to set mechanisms that support culture. The study limitations included the limited generalizability and a wide geographical spread of the facilities. Based on the limitations of the study, areas for further research have been suggested to address other contexts. Besides, different other methodologies and conceptualizations may be used.
