ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND EMPLOYEE MORALE AMONG TEACHERS

Abstract

This research article investigates the relationship between organizational culture and employee morale among teachers. A quantitative research design was employed, and data was collected from a sample of 84 school teachers (split male=42 and female=42)by using Organizational culture scale by Pareek and work motivation scale by Qureishi. Purposive cum incidental sampling technique was applied for the present study. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between a positive organizational culture and employee morale among teachers. The results further revealed that male teachers and female teachers significantly differ on their experiences on all the dimensions of organizational culture namely openness, confrontation, trust, proactive, autonomy, collaboration and experimentation except authenticity. This study highlights the importance of creating a positive organizational culture in educational institutions, as it plays a crucial role in fostering teachers' motivation and ultimately improving student outcomes. These findings contribute to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the impact of organizational culture on work motivation specifically in the context of teachers. The implications of these findings for educational institutions and policymakers are discussed, emphasizing the need to prioritize the development of a positive organizational culture to enhance teacher motivation and overall educational effectiveness.
