The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of cultural dimensions on employee productivity in Zimbabwe state universities. Many studies have been done to establish the impact of organisational culture on company performance. However, a few studies were done to investigate the relationship between cultural dimensions and employee performance in the education sector. The themes of the study were quantified in terms of four cultural dimensions, such as power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance and masculinity. The questionnaire approach was used to collect primary data from 400 employees of thirteen public universities in Zimbabwe. Data was analysed using the ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation Matrix. The results of the study revealed that there is a positive relationship between cultural dimension and employee productivity. |
