Abstract: This research examines the correlation between organizational culture and employee performance at Sultan Idris University of Education (UPSI).A descriptive survey design was employed, with 309 structured questionnaires sent online to UPSI personnel.The results reveal a substantial association between corporate culture and employee performance, with employee involvement exhibiting the most pronounced relationship.The regression analysis indicates that employee involvement is the primary factor affecting employee performance.A culture of employee engagement fosters active participation, innovation, and accountability among employees, hence building a happy and supportive work environment.The dimensions of organizational culture, including Clan Culture (r = 0.324, p < 0.01), Adhocracy (r = 0.298, p < 0.01), Competitive Culture (r = 0.287, p < 0.01), and Hierarchy (r = 0.265, p < 0.01), exhibit positive correlations with employee performance.Employee involvement exhibits the most robust correlation with performance (r = 0.618, p < 0.001), establishing it as the variable with the highest degree of association.Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that employee involvement is the primary factor affecting employee performance, with a coefficient of β = 0.583, p < 0.001, and a standard error of 0.057.The four elements of organizational culture were not statistically significant in the regression model (p > 0.05).The study finds that company culture significantly enhances employee performance.Management should enhance cultural components, like open communication, creativity, and well-defined work structures, to foster an environment that promotes motivation and work efficacy.
