Consequently, it determined the moderating effect of organizational culture on the relationship between strategic planning and organiza-tional performance. A quantitative study was carried out on a sample of 291 officers in Malaysian government organizations. The ob-tained data based on self-administered questionnaires was analyzed using SmartPartial Least Squares (PLS). The study revealed that strategic planning dimensions have positive effects on performance of government organizations. The results found that organizational culture has significantly moderated the relationship between strategic planning and performance. The implications from the research findings, limitation of study and future research directions are discussed.
