Sarah Sabir Ahmad1, Azfahanee Zakaria2, Maznah Wan Omar3.
Organization culture is unique for each organization. This is because cultures are
created by the managers or leaders to ensure smooth performance of the organization as better
job satisfaction leads to overall well-being of the organization. Therefore, this paper aims to
identify the relationship between the four (4) types of organizational culture based on the
Competing Value Framework (Clan, Adhocracy, Market and Hierarchy) and job satisfaction
among academics in universities in Malaysia. The research was carried out by using the 5-
point Likert Scale Measurement adapting the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument
(OCAI) that was utilized to measure data regarding Organizational Culture whereas to
measure Job Satisfaction a five-item scale operational job satisfaction instrument was utilized.
A sample of 100 academic staff was selected as the respondent by using simple random
sampling. The goodness of measure of the data was analysed and subsequently Regression
Analysis was conducted to determine the objectives of the study. The findings reveal that two
variables namely Market and Clan culture have a positive and significant impact on job
satisfaction with Market Culture being the most dominant culture impacting the job
satisfactions among the academics in Malaysia. Optimistically, the findings will be able to shed
some light in the marketing literature since it is projected that a dominant culture will influence
on how an organization work, therefore identifying and strengthening this culture will bring
the best from the employees from the organization.
