Organizational Culture, Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intentions: The Mediating Role of Perceived Supervisor Support

• In Event: Organizational Dynamics and Job Satisfaction

Abstract

This study investigates how the culture of an organization is related to the job satisfaction and turnover intentions of governmental accountants. I show that perceived supervisor support serves as a mediator between organizational culture and both turnover intentions and job satisfaction. I find that the presence of organic culture has a meaningful positive effect on organizational outcomes. I further find that mechanistic culture fails to negatively influence outcomes as expected, but rather has little demonstrable effect. I discuss the constructs of interest, outline the proposed relationships, develop hypotheses, describe the sample, review the methodology and explore the results. I conclude with a discussion of implications and limitations.
