The Influence of Organisational Culture on Employee Commitment: An Empirical Study on Civil Service Officials in Bangladesh

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of organisational culture on the commitment of officers in the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS; Administration) cadre. The study examines the relationships between four organisational cultural characteristics and a three-component commitment model. The quantitative data analysis was conducted using data collected via a survey from 211 respondents. The research findings indicate that mission, one of the organisational cultural traits, has a significant impact on the affective, normative and continuing commitment of the BCS (Administration) cadre. Only normative commitment is strongly influenced by involvement, another organisational cultural characteristic. This study’s findings will contribute to the body of knowledge about organisational culture and employee commitment in public organisations. This result can be used to increase officer commitment by top management or the responsible departments. If officers remain committed to the service, this will ultimately result in an increase in productivity, performance and efficiency, as well as a decrease in absenteeism and an increase in officer morale. This will ultimately add value to the services provided to the general public in Bangladesh, as the administration cadre is critical in formulating and implementing public policies.

Enhancing Employee Efficiency Through Deep-Level Workforce Diversity: A Study of Selected Deposit Money Banks in Lagos State

“…Employee efficiency, as defined by Khan et al (2022), pertains to the degree to which an employee effectively utilizes their time and resources to complete assigned tasks or attain desired outcomes promptly. Jahan et al (2022) concur that it serves as a gauge of an individual employee's productivity and effectiveness, measuring their output in relation to the resources expended, including time, effort, and materials. In this regard, employee efficiency signifies an employee's capability to fulfill their work responsibilities and achieve performance targets while minimizing resource wastage, thus leading to enhanced productivity and superior outcomes (Darko-Asumadu et al, 2018).…”
