The aim of this study was to establish whether a relationship existed between the variables job satisfaction and organisational culture of employees within a service organisation. The population comprised of 200 employees of which 40 were excluded from the study due to poor literacy levels. The Culture and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaires were administered to the sample of 160 employees and 121 usable responses were received. High coefficient alphas were obtained on both the Organisational Culture Questionnaire (OCQ)(0,99) and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MJSQ) (0,92). Significant differences were found between some biographical variables and responses on the OCQ. A significant relationship was found between scores of the OCQ and the MJSQ. The managerial implications of the findings were further explored in the study.

The relationship between employee satisfaction and organisational performance : evidence from a South African government department : original research (2013, background): “Satisfied employees tend to perceive that the organisation will be more satisfying in the long run, they care about the quality of their work and are more committed to the organisation, leading to a demonstration of organisational citizenship behaviours (Fraser, 2001; Sempane et al., 2002; Yoon & Su”
Exploring the job satisfaction and organisational commitment of employees in the information technology environment (2011, background): “Research has indicated that job satisfaction does not come about in isolation, as it is dependent on organisational variables such as structure, size, pay, working conditions and leadership, which represent the organisational climate (Sempane et al. 2002).”
