Organization Culture Types and Performance in Nigerian Universities

Abstract

This paper investigated the relationship between organizational types and performance. The paper examined approved universities that have gone through Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) accreditation process in Nigeria and selected six (6) universities which were classified into two federal universities, two state universities and two private universities based on ownership and age criteria. Random sampling and convenience sampling were used. The six universities had staff strength of 13,822. Questionnaires were distributed to 389 respondents. Correlations and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyse the data. Findings showed that differences in organization culture led to differences in organizational performance.
