An Evaluation of the Impact of Organisational Culture on Employee Work Performance : A Case Study of a FET College in Durban

Abstract

The South African government has invested an immense amount of funding In Further Education and Training (FET) in order to produce skilled and semiskilled workers and to redress past inequalities in education and job opportunities. The FET College in this study, on one hand, has come under great pressure to maintain the good aspects of its culture and motivate its staff to improve work performance, as industries and businesses are expected to receive trained, skilled workers. It is the task of managers to ensure that the FET employees perform to their optimum level to meet government's vision for the FET Sector. This research was inspired by the need for a quality and excellent FET College culture, one that promotes ethical leadership, fairness, and performance.
