INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Successful implementation of a business strategy occurs when leadership, management systems, organizational structures and organizational culture change are all aligned to the strategy. Organizational culture is closely connected to the productivity and is critical to the business success as this is the process which an organization develops its internal capacity to be effective in its mandate in the short, medium and long term running.
Organizational culture by interpretation provides a meaning system for employees who are making sense of their working environment. As such, organizational culture serves as a vehicle of the organizational influence on the individual’s identity and behavior by socializing individuals into specific norms and patterns of behavior in an organization by providing socially shared perceptions, which create predictability in the organizational environment (Marinova, 2015).
