Abstract:
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.
