Abstract
Abstract: Organizational culture plays a pivotal role in shaping both employee satisfaction and overall organizational performance. A positive and well-aligned culture fosters a work environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and committed to their roles. This study investigates the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction by analyzing data collected from 101 employees across various departments. The structured survey focused on critical cultural elements such as leadership styles, ethical behavior, communication transparency, fairness in treatment, opportunities for professional growth, employee recognition, and compensation practices. The analysis revealed a strong correlation between a supportive, ethical, and inclusive organizational culture and higher levels of job satisfaction. Employees who perceived their organization as fair, communicative, and growth-oriented reported greater engagement and loyalty. These findings emphasize the importance of cultivating a positive workplace culture to boost employee morale and reduce turnover. The study concludes with practical recommendations aimed at enhancing employee engagement, satisfaction, and long-term organizational success through cultural development initiatives.
