Impact of Organizational Culture on Human Resource Practices: A Study of Selected Nigerian Private Universities

Abstract

This paper shows results of the impact of organizational culture on human resource practices in some selected Nigerian private universities. The statistical analysis was based on two hundred and thirty-seven respondents in the selected studied private universities showing that a close re-lationship exists between organizational culture and recruitment process, training programmes, job performance management, performance of employees, pay structure, and compensation ad-ministration. The paper suggested that given the organizational context of the study, each of the variables will be appreciated more by the individuals in values, beliefs, and practices of the organization. It is therefore suggested that prospective employees or job seekers should endeavor to familiarize themselves with the organizational culture before accepting job offers.
