ABSTRACT

The critical role of organizational culture in business development has been widely validated in the global business arena. However, the core issue that the theoretical and business communities are now focusing on is how to accurately assess the organizational culture of an enterprise and deeply integrate it with the actual operation of the enterprise to make it a powerful tool for improving organizational performance and competitiveness. This study turns the perspective to the field of higher education in China to explore in depth the interrelationship between organizational culture and organizational performance. Research has found that a positive organizational culture is a powerful engine for performance. Negative organizational culture, on the other hand, acts as a heavy shackle that hinders performance. In addition, organizational performance feeds and shapes organizational culture. Based on the above findings, this study further proposes strategies for integrating organizational culture and performance. First, clarify the cultural vision and anchor the value coordinates. Second, focus on cross-cultural integration and expand diversified horizons. Third, deepen the role of leadership and lead the cultural construction. The results of this research are expected to provide ideas and methods with reference value for human resource management in Chinese higher education and help universities optimize their management mode, improve overall performance, and achieve sustainable development.
