Abstract

Globalization; diversified workforce; new technology; and dynamic, innovative and chaotic environment are not merely buzzwords but are harsh realities, which contemporary mangers have to face and deal on a regular basis. Thus, managers and policymakers are required to update these work-related practices to cater to the challenges they face on a daily basis. In view of the significance of the issue, the study examines the effect of organizational culture on job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention in a private business university in Karachi. The population of the said university was 120, out of which 92 faculty members were selected non-randomly. The questionnaire adopted for the study has 4 factors and 58 items. After ascertaining the reliabilities and validities of the constructs, the data was used for testing overall model was tested on the data. It was found that organizational culture has a significant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment, whereas, no significant relationship was found between culture and turnover intention. This non-significant effect of culture on turnover intention was surprising and inconsistent from most of the earlier studies carried out in the West. One of the reasons for this inconsistent finding could be the lack of comparable job opportunities in Pakistan.Keywords: Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Faculty Members and Turnover Intention.
