The paper also discusses the challenges faced by organizations in adapting their culture to meet evolving business needs and the external competitive landscape. The relationship between organizational culture and employee performance is multi-faceted, with cultural alignment emerging as a critical determinant of both individual job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. Finally, the review offers practical recommendations for organizations looking to leverage their cultural assets to drive performance, providing insights on how to cultivate a culture that nurtures motivation, fosters innovation, and promotes sustainable business growth.
