    Examining the impact of organisational culture on performance: A case of IntraHealth Namibia
    (University of Namibia, 2023) Shilomboleni, Martha
    IntraHealth Namibia is a non-governmental organisation that works in the health sector providing technical support to the Ministry of Health and Social Services to lessen the burden that the Ministry is facing. It relies on donor funding for its operations. IntraHealth Namibia was established in 2016 and being the youngest player in the industry, it managed to get funding for its four-projects while its competitors only managed to secure funding for at least one and at most two each of their projects. This study sought to establish the role of organisational culture on the success of IntraHealth Namibia. The study reviewed among others, Hofstede’s cultural dimension framework where several indices like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty, among others were discussed. The study adopted a census sampling method where 65 IntraHealth Namibia employees completed structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were sent to everyone via email since all employees had access to email services. The study found that IntraHealth Namibia’s organisational culture had an influence on its performance. The study also found that IntraHealth Namibia had a combination of people-oriented and goal-oriented culture. Furthermore, the study also established that IntraHealth Namibia management encourages employee participation through scheduled regular meetings. The study recommends that IntraHealth Namibia’s management continues to guide and foster best practices among its employees to avoid non beneficial practices like corruption. The study further recommends the establishment of a department that is responsible for implementing and enforcing the culture at IntraHealth Namibia. The study concludes by recommending further studies in the role of leadership in organisational performance
