The Psychological Influence of Organizational Culture on Employee Motivation and Satisfaction: A Psychological Approach

Abstract

This research paper investigates how organizational culture affects employee motivation and satisfaction. The study analyzes how organizational culture, leadership style and employee outcomes- including satisfaction, commitment and motivation- are connected. It uses Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory to comprehend the impact of hygiene factors and motivators on shaping employee experiences. Employing a deductive approach and descriptive design, the research methodology adopts an interpretivism philosophy. Materials for analysis include secondary sources like online articles and papers. Emphasizing the significance of fostering a positive organizational culture that attends to both hygiene factors and motivators is crucial in boosting employee motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. Strong company cultures are known to improve performance levels, increase employee retention rates and provide a competitive advantage. The paper suggests avenues for further exploration after discussing the future scope of research in this area.
