Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact that organizational culture has on employee well-being within a case-study organization. The study employed a quantitative research design and adopted the use of a questionnaire to collect the necessary data from the 20 participants. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings of the study indicated that the organization operates mainly on a hierarchy culture with the elements of other culture types of notably culture clan and market culture mixed into the overall organizational culture. It was inferred that these culture types exist as a subculture within the overarching culture of the organization. The findings suggest that employee well-being is not a point of critical concern for the organization. This suggests that within the case study organization, employee well-being is perceived as a moral obligation as against a strategic factor that can yield considerable benefits to the organization. The findings also indicated that organizational culture exerts a degree of influence on employee well-being. Organizational culture has an impact on employee well-being, therefore improving employee well-being can ensure optimal productivity and performance of employees.
