ABSTRACT
Organizational culture has a significant effect on how employees view their organizational responsibilities and their job satisfaction. With increasing globalization, a greater knowledge of organizational culture and its effect in non-western cultures can be beneficial for practicing leaders and decision makers. This study explores the association between organizational cultural values and employee satisfaction in manufacturing and Information Technology companies in India. Surveys were distributed to 4 manufacturing companies and 4 IT companies. The sample size was 461. Significant findings are: (1) Organizational culture differs in terms of the mean scores of its dimensions between manufacturing and the sectors. (2) Employee job satisfaction differes between manufacturing and IT sectors, and the level of job satisfaction is high among employees in the IT sector compared to their counterparts in the manufacturing sector. (3) Dimensions of organizational culture explain significantly the variance in job satisfaction of employees in both manufacturing and IT sectors.
