The Influence of Corporate Culture on Organizational Commitment: Case Study of Civil Government Organizations in Indonesia

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of corporate culture on employees’ organizational commitment. The corporate culture that examine in this research was consist of four dimensional which are teamwork; communication; reward and recognition; training and development. The study was replication research from Boon and Arumugam’s paper, and we were anxious to find out the extent of corporate culture influence the employee’s organizational commitment within the context of Civil Government in Indonesia, because only a few empirical researches has examined in this area of study. I also used the similar tool that is hierarchical regression analyses to test the research hypotheses. The results show that communication, training and development, reward and recognition, and teamwork are positively associated with organizational commitment. Also, communication was perceived as a dominant corporate culture dimension; and it was consistent with the result from original paper. There were only a few differences in the social variables (controlling variables) that also influence organizational commitment in the context of civil government in Indonesia. This study contributes to a better understanding of the influence of corporate culture and social variables on organizational commitment among employees within the context of the Civil Government Organization. The limitation and future research are also discussed.
