I. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The term culture refers to as a general state or habit of mind closely allied to human perception. A cultured employee could be one who in character, behavior, speech and comportment could not be impeached but whose image and personality are examples to most members or groups of the organization. Culture is those vast apparatus, partly material and partly spiritual and partly human by which human societies are organized into permanent and recognizable groupings. In organization level, culture is described as the aggregate of the social, ethnical, intellectual, artistic, governmental and industrial attainments characteristics of a group, state or nation and compared with other groups or nations (Nnamani and Agu, 2012).
Organizational culture comprises the shared set of beliefs, expectations, values, norms and work routine that influence how members of an organization relate to one another and work together to achieve organizational goals. In essence, organizational culture reflects the distinctive ways organizational members go about performing their jobs and relating to others inside and outside the organization.
