CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
factors of productivity is related to how a company runs and directs its staffs, and how structured
and unstructured practices are being implemented and exercised in the organization. Conformity
of employees and the extension of it to their performance to organizational culture and workplace
have been observed by some scholars, however organizational excellences could be varied from
organization to organization and certain cultural traits could be source of competitive advantages
through causal ambiguity (Barney, 1991; Peters and Waterman, 1982). However, efforts to
conduct these researches in developing countries are lacking and needs more attention (Uddin et
al., 2012), and such is observed in the Philippines, and many other arising nations. On the other
side, according to Cummings and Swabb (1997), employees must be committed to meeting
employees to improve their work performance and productivity, despite having or not considering
the consequences of organizational culture and company workplace. According to Chien (2015),
a successful organization requires employees who are willing to do more than their usual job scope
and contribute performance that exceed goal’s expectations. In the light of these events, a cross-
sectional study among different industries and fields of work will be very beneficial to contributing
a new knowledge of how a diverse culture and workplace can affect employees’ performance.
The goal of expanding our knowledge about these subjects are motivated by the
experiences of employees. As the level of competency among industries, and with the acquisition
of new technologies, it is vital to look at how employees are catching and coping up to new trends
and how these affect their field of work and their productivity. In the research conducted by Julie
(2016), he noted that technology is changing by the day, and the attention of managers is on human
resource that are related to effect these changes for a higher performance. The monitoring activities
of managers are now based on how employees conduct their performance using technology.

More companies are trying to improve the culture that has been established in their
workplace. According to the article of Lepis (2017), research shows that an organization with
strong company culture results in higher employee-engagement scores. Higher engagement equals
higher productivity, less absenteeism, increased productivity, among others. With these findings
the researcher aims to look for the effectivity and application of such implications to Filipino
employees considering a number of demographic factors such as class status, the size of the
company they are working in, and the current status of the country and its societal regards.
In examining the culture of the organization and its corresponding effects to performance
of employees, it is inevitable to also recognize the factors of workplace to how staff manage to
work. Such conditions are beset to examine the satisfactory of employees to their workplace and
how compliant are the factors of workplace to staff’s performance. In the study conducted by
Pradhan and Jena (2016), they were able to capitalize on the importance of the workplace to
yielding of productive performance of employees. In this particular study however, what we define
as workplace is the physical and ergonomic arrangement of tangible objects in the room or building
where employees work in. Stallworth and Kleiner (1996) argue that increasingly an organization’s
physical layout is designed around employee needs in order to maximize productivity and
satisfaction. According to Leblebici (2012), there is a widely accepted assumption that better
workplace environment motivates employees and produces better results. The researcher found a
The benefit of having this study conducted is the possibility of taking a broader look on
how companies lead, run, and direct the labor of their staff through their organizational culture.
Workplace, which plays an important role on the performance of workers, is also observed, and
the effects to the later will be concluded. This research also entails a better understanding on how
employees accept, adjust, and cope up to what has been given to them by both controllable and
inevitable circumstances in front of them. Although this study does not condone the romanticizing
of precedented hardship and suffering of employees, the relevance of such situation to their work
performance is noticeable.
Generally, the goal of this study is to present valuable literature, and to yield essential
results for the betterment of all whom this research concerns. The concerns of employees should
not be taken for granted, as employees and human capital are the most important asset of an

organization (Guest, 2001). As to this, the researcher aims to find the causal relationship of
Recent studies on the factors affecting employees’ performance have been prevalent
through years (See: Khan and Jabbar, 2013; Bob, 2011; Armstrong, 2015; Shahzad et al., 2008;
Maxwell and Chukwudi, 2018, among many others). But taking these factors into consideration,
one shed area of this study is the effects of description of organizational culture and workplace to
the aforementioned materials of proponent. The conflict arises as when and how organizational
culture and workplace affect the performance of employees when at work. Based on the findings
of Julie (2016) on employee productivity and performance, the researcher upholds the belief that
his findings are affected as well by organizational culture and workplace (Maxwell and Chukwudi,
2018).
As response to these findings and to the found the researcher was able to formulate
questions that needed to be answered at the end of the study. These questions were designed to
further help the researcher in reaching its goal in conducting the study, and to give a foundation in
bridging the research gaps discussed. The statement of the problems is as follows:
1. What are the effects of organizational culture and workplace to the factors that
2. How well aware are the employees of their company’s organizational culture and
workplace?
3. How do structured and unstructured practices among the people of the organization
the workplace affect the efficiency and effectivity of employees and their output?
5. How are organizational culture and company workplace interrelated to each other?
The conforming of employees to the prevailing culture, practices, and norms of the
organization they work in are responsive to how they perform (Khan and Jabbar, 2013). Workplace
on the other hand also plays a vital role on how employees work (Borman and Wotowildo, 1993).

Hypothesis
The study being conducted was given by the researcher these hypotheses:
The researcher intended to expand its purpose on benefitting the following, and propose to
First, to company owners. The purpose of this study was to help finding out how
employees are working under certain conditions, specifically under the influence of organizational
culture and workplace. Company owners and their actions respond to how managed the company
culture is. They are also in charge for setting the standard of workplace in totality.
directly lead the labor of staffs and monitor their performance, it is vital for them to see how the
determinants of organizational culture and workplace affect the factors that influence the work
performance of employees. The vitality of instilling a culture of productivity was shown in this
particular study.
Third, to employees. The quality of their labor reflects on how and where they work. Being
productive is solely not affected by any personal choices and decisions (Eby, 2006). Factors that
are not under their control influence greatly on how they work. This study was intended to feed
Forth and lastly, to future researchers. May this study become a significant addition in
this field of knowledge. This study provides useful literature for further studies.
The scope of this study is limited to employees who work for select companies in the
Philippines, ranging from accounting, engineering, government-run organizations, and others. Any
more findings that may be found beyond the limit of this research will be nevertheless presented
as it may show up a good relevance to the study of such topic. Any findings however that may be
found entitled to this research will be fully considered and be taken not for granted. The researcher

Definition of Terms
1) Organizational culture – (Needel, 2004) body of value that shapes the way employees
2) Workplace – (Tripathi, 2014) the work environment can be defined as the environment in
which people work that include physical setting, job profile, culture and market condition.
CHAPTER II
Organizational culture was described by Needel (2004) as body of value that shapes the
organizational activities, and a product of such factors as history, product, market, technology,
type of employees and management style (Ugwulebo, 2014) Culture encompasses all aspects of
the organization (Maxwell and Chukwudi, 2018) As Goke (2015) points out, culture embraces
organizational values, norms, leadership styles, reward system etc. values are outstanding
guides to organizational actions. Every organization has a set of values, whether or not it is written.
Values guide the perspectives of the organization as well as its actions (Goke, 2015).
Maxwell and Chukwudi (2018) further described that organizational culture consists of
beliefs and values shared within the organization. It influences the worker’s degree of job
satisfaction as well as the level and quality of their performance (Agulanna and Madu, 2003).
Sharplin (1983) defined organizational culture as “the system of shared values, beliefs, and habits
within an organization that interacts with formal structure to produce behavioral norms. On another
note, Armstrong (2006) defined organizational culture as the pattern of values, norms, beliefs,
attitudes and assumptions that may not have been articulated but shape the ways in which people
behave and things get done. Spender (1990) defined it as a belief system shared by an
organization’s members. In his own definition, Schein (1983) saw organizational culture as
5
New Era University Integrated School
Senior High School Department
FAAP ACSCU-AAI Level III Re-accredited
No. 9 Central Ave., New Era, Quezon City 1107, Philippines, Quezon City
the pattern of basic assumptions that a given group has invented, discovered, or developed in
learning to cope with its problem of external adaptation and internal integration. Organization
culture is the set of values, often taken for granted, that help people in an organization, understand
which actions are considered acceptable and which are considered unacceptable (Moorhead and
Giffin, 1992). The implementation of the organizational culture required every employee to agree
and comply in full, meaningful culture imposed a strong culture (Musriha, 2013)
Frank (1990) shared that culture govern what the company stands for, how it allocates
resources, its organizational structure, the system it uses, the people it hires, the fit between jobs
and people, the result it recognizes and rewards, what it defines as problems and opportunities,
and how it deals with them. Based on the definition given, organizational culture impacts greatly
the operations of the business. In operating the business, it is inevitable to look on how employees
perform when at work (Kiisel, 2020). The culture of an organization is sometimes conceptualized
as the climate or weather of a place (Maxwell and Chukwudi, 2018) Furthermore, culture affects
not only the way managers behave within the organization but also the decisions they make about
Furthermore, organizational culture will give employees the freedom to practice their faith,
thus, organizational culture will make the employee feel satisfied with his work (Musriha, 2013).
He added that organizational effectiveness can be improved by creating a culture that will lead to
the achievement of organizational objectives and at the same time will satisfy employees. O'Reilly
et al. (1991) states, there is a relationship between the strength of organizational culture with the
culture of employee selection and performance, with a strong organizational culture will be able
to improve employee performance. Culture can provide power to the behavior of members of the
organization, because it can foster consistency and predictability creativity and manage problems
and influences greatly the factors that affect them. On the other hand, identifying the dimensions
of organizational culture is vital in achieving the yielding of whether company culture cultivates
employees, it is undeniable that we need to consider the factors and determinants affecting

organizational culture. According to the studies of Sarros et al., (2005), they postulated dimensions
of organizational culture. Although many academicians who have worked on the same field of
knowledge also posted their own dimensions of organizational culture (See: Denison and Neale,
1996; Van der Post et al., 1997; Veiga et al., 2000; and Park, 2001, among others), for the sake of
simplicity and considering the time frame, the models of Sarros et al., (2005) will be used. The

his work. Employees’ workplace environment is a key determinant of the quality of their work and
their level of productivity (Satyendra, 2019). According to Tripathi (2014) the work environment
can be defined as the environment in which people work that include physical setting, job profile,
culture and market condition. Work environment can be thought of simply as the environment in
which people work (Briner, 2000) as such; it is a very broad category that encompasses the
physical setting, for example: heat and equipment, characteristics of the job itself, for example,
workload and task complexity. He adds that it also encompasses broader organizational features
and even aspects of the external organizational setting such as culture, history, local labor market
workplace environmental and physical factors (Nanzushi, 2015). It has been argued by Pech and
Slade (2006) that employee disengagement is increasing and it has become important to make
New evidence of a strong correlation between productivity, creativity and even profitability
with employee working conditions, such as: light, air, noise, health, culture, design, movement
and the quality of furniture have been established in a new report (Bean, 2017). The syndicated
research project, Wellness Together, carried out by Sapio Research, of 1000 UK based office
workers and 50 Facilities Management experts, suggests a strong link between people feeling
catered and cared for by their workplace or employers and how this impacts business performance.
The study identifies that in order to achieve true ‘wellness’ attention to every single component
that can impact mental and physical health needs to be considered, from building structures and
company cultures through to the physical furniture and fittings that employees require to work
efficiently and effectively (Hales, 2017). The study also found out that workplace conditions drive
profitability, productivity, and innovation. Researchers from Sapio (2017) also noted that having
healthy food and access to outdoor spaces result to having better performance of employees. On
the other hand, messy desks and shared spaces, hunting for stationery, unpleasant odor, and too
loud nearby offices and people contribute to the halting of employee productivity. Employees that

employees spend significant part of their time at work, and it affects them in one way or
the other (Hafeez et al., 2019). Kamarulzaman et al., (2001) concluded that the employees who
are satisfied from their work environment can lead towards more positive work outcomes. They
found that working environment is essential, as in a comfortable environment employee can focus
on their job correctly, and it leads to a better employee performance, which leads to improved
organizational productivity. According to Hafeez et al. (2019), previous researchers found that
several environmental factors such as noise, color, temperature, workplace design and use of
working environment is significant and has a high impact on employees with different aspects
(Hafeez et al., 2019). They also concluded that however, if the organization environment is
friendly, safe, and trusted, it impacts employees positively and their performance, creativity,
productivity, commitment, and financial health drive high, which also influences the
organization augmentations. If organization environment does not attract the employees and they
performance, stress-related illness, and productivity, then eventually their obligation has reduced
to a low level which in turn affects the organization productivity and augmentations (Cottini
Naharuddin and Sadegi (2013) found in their research that the workplace environment
significantly impacts the performance of the employees. Leblebici (2012) conducted their
research on a foreign bank in Turkey and analyzed the working environment conditions in
working environment, informal meeting area, office layout, working desk/ area and general and
distraction, social interaction and office layout in terms of ease of working. They found

that healthy behavioral workplace condition yields positive consequences on employees even if
physical environmental conditions are unfavorable, another finding of the study was:

(Bushiri, 2014)
The indoor environment has the biggest effect on productivity in relation to job stress and
century, businesses are taking a more strategic approach to environmental management to enhance
their productivity through improving the performance level of the employees. Sekar (2011) argues
that the relationship between work, the workplace and the tools of work, workplace becomes an
integral part of work itself. In all of the work patterns, it was found that interaction was perceived
to be the component to have the most positive effect on productivity, and distraction was perceived
to have the most negative (Leblebici, 2012). Bushiri (2014) suggested that organizations have to
create a work environment where people enjoy what they do, feel like they have a purpose, have
pride in what they do, and can reach their potential. Williams and Priestley (1980) indicate that

On Employee Performance
Organizations need highly performing individuals in order to meet their goals, to deliver
the products and services they specialized in, and finally to achieve competitive advantage
(Sonnentag and Frese, 2001). Performance is a multicomponent concept and on the fundamental
level one can distinguish the process aspect of performance, that is, behavioral engagements from
an expected outcome (Borman and Motowidlo, 1993; Campbell et al., 1993; Roe, 1999). Low
performance and not achieving the goals might be experienced as dissatisfying or even as a
is often rewarded by financial and other benefits. (Van Scotter et al., 2000). Armstrong (2006)
Performance is not only a matter of what people achieve but how they achieve (Nanzushi,
2015). Performance is defined by Sultana et al. (2012) as the achievement of specified tasks against
performance is a step towards the achievement of organizational goals and tasks. Platt and Sobotka
(2010) assert that employee performance is the combined result of effort, ability and perception of
tasks. The factors that affect the level of individual performance are motivation, ability and
and motivation. There are a number of factors that affect employee performance, the workplace
environment impacts most their level of motivation hence their performance (Nanzushi, 2015).
Additionally, Stup (2003) concluded that to have a standard performance, employers have to get
Employees and their productivity are the heart of the organization. When there is no
productive and working employee, the survival of the organization is at stake. Moreover, employee
work performance poses a great influence to the company’s profitability, productivity, and
innovation. As Sinha (2001) stated, employees’ performance is depending on the willingness and
also the openness of the employees itself on doing their job. He also stated that by having this
willingness and openness of the employees in doing their job, it could increase the employees’
productivity which also leads to the performance. On the other hand, there are several factors that
being described by Stup (2003) towards the success of the employees’ performance. The factors
are such as physical work environment, equipment, meaningful work, performance expectation,
11

feedback on performance, reward for good or bad system, standard operating procedures,
(Chebet, 2015). According to Armstrong and Murlis (2007), reward systems and recognition are
individual employees. Reward systems are the clearest ways managers and leaders of an
organization can send a message to employees about what they consider important. A great deal
of the way people behave in an organization is influenced by the way they are measured and
Bruce (2004) points out that under-management is the underlying issue in most cases of
suboptimal work performance at all levels. The undermanaged employee struggles since the
supervisor is not sufficiently engaged to provide the direction and support needed. In their study
Gupta (2010) notes that cohesion has a significant positive impact on performance. An employee
operating in an environment that has good team cohesion is likely to dedicate effort towards
realizing the expected performance levels. Performance appraisal plays a significant role in
Training facilitates the updating of skills and lead to increase commitment, wellbeing, and
sense of belonging, thus directly strengthening the organization’s competitiveness (Acton and
Golden, 2002; Karia and Ahmad, 2000; Karia, 1999).Training has the distinct role in the
workforce (Stone R J. Human Resource Management, 2002). The primary role of training is to
improve the employees’ skill for current and future duties and responsibilities (Chebet, 2015)
how employees do their work. Employees labor to have the benefits of their own and they deserve.
Employees should not be deprived of the rights and rewards they deserved and earned. Companies
on the other hand should treasure and value the importance of having employees not just by
offering rewards and higher pay but also introducing a culture which is productive and functioning,
and provide as well a workplace that is not exhausting and ergonomically conducive enough to
have a safe and productive place of work. Organizations should be the one to protect their
employees because they are the working legs that make the company run (Kirk, 2002)

Conceptual Framework
Theoretical Framework
The study is grounded on the Two Factor Theory (Herzberg, 1986). Herzberg came to a
conclusion that the aspects of the work environment that satisfy employees are different from the
aspects that dissatisfy them. The theory points out that improving the environment in which the
job is performed motivates employees to perform better. The other theory is Weiss and
Cropanzano’s Affective Events Theory (AET) (1996) which explains the link between internal
influences and their reactions to incidents that occur in their work environment that affect

The method used to gather respondents is through the use of social media. An online survey
was published and was answered by respondents. After two days, the researcher gathered 15
respondents in the online survey. The sampling was simple random sampling where everyone in
the population had an equal chance of being a respondent. In this research, however, only those
who heeded the call for the online survey were the respondents.

Sources of Data
The researcher made an online survey. The survey was composed of questions asking for
their profile, nine (9) multiple questions, most are closed questions, and then two (2) multiple
choice grid questions, namely the dimensions of organizational culture and company workplace,
wherein the respondents had to tell if these dimensions positively, neutrally, or negatively affect
The dimensions aforementioned that appeared in the online survey conducted was
discussed on the review of related literature. The items were adopted and constructed in nature.
Data gathering procedure was administered online. The researcher sent the online survey
form link to target respondents and it was answered also online by the respondents. The data were
automatically tallied since it was administered online. The data retrieval was also eased for the

recommendations in respect to the research conducted. The researcher provided valuable and
Summary
This study was conducted to find out what contributes do organizational culture and
company workplace have to work performance of employees. This was because aside from
personal and individual pursuance of employees to have an excellent output at work, external and
uncontrollable factors also have great influence to their productivity and performance.
The literature discussed that organizational culture and company workplace have been a
subject of previous researches and studies. However, it showed that these two (2) aspects of work
performance have not been discussed collectively. This study is grounded to the Two Factor
Theory and Affective Events Theory (AET) by Herzberg (1986) and Weiss Cropanzano (1996),
respectively.
Through an online survey questionnaire, the researcher were able to gather data from the
respondents. An online survey questionnaire composed of close-ended questions (except from the
profiling of individual respondents) and multiple choices grid questions were sent to respondents

company workplace work together for the betterment of work performance of employees. The

Conclusion
The results of the survey provide some of the first empirical data about the perceptions of
employees on the effect of organization culture and company workplace collectively to their work
performance. The survey obtained results and information from different kinds of employees from
different industries and companies, from different organizational culture and company workplace.
The survey data provided evidence about how respondents perceive these factors to their work
performance.
While useful, the results of the survey and its corresponding interpretations must be
viewed with caution because of the low response rate and possible response bias. More so, the
researcher only gathered fifteen (15) respondents among the big population and scope of the study.
On the other hand, a few of the questions and the respondents’ corresponding answers may be
viewed and interpreted into different angles and methods. Despite these limitations and
precautions, with the detailed and insightful literature provided by the researcher in Chapter II, the
researcher believed that this study still provided and offered valuable knowledge and new
information.
Overall, the survey findings suggested that there are positive contributions to employees’
work performance are organizational culture and company workplace, and supported the
At the end of this study, the research proved, through interpretation and analysis of data
obtained in the online survey conducted, that the hypotheses provided by the researcher on Chapter
I are true and proven. As the results suggested, 7 out of 10 employees are positively affected by
The researcher therefore concludes that organizational culture and company workplace
