ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational
Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the
Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a
crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs
employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation
depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research
to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of
the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to
collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected
from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully
completed questionnaires were received.
Key words: Organizational Culture, Performance Management System.

A Study on the Impact of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of Performance Management
Systems in Healthcare Organizations at Thanjavur
1. INTRODUCTION
Recent literature proved that Human Resources Management in an organization has become
significantly important for achieving its business vision. Employees were considered invaluable
assets to an organization, requiring effective management of these employees in firms. The
organizational culture determines employees' behavior in the organization and it is represented
in the shared values, beliefs, and attitudes of organizational employees. Organizational culture
includes the organization's vision, norms, values, experiences, philosophy, systems, symbols,
language, and habits. This Organizational culture is expressed in employees’ attitudes,
interaction with the external environment, and how people and groups interact with each other.
The main goal of the performance management system is to align organizational objectives
with individual objectives. (Armstrong 2015). The effective implementation of PMS
necessitates a favorable organizational culture. The present study will shed light, assess the
practice of PMS, and analyze if there is any relationship between organizational culture and the
effectiveness of PMS. This paper deals with the impact of this Organizational culture on the
Effectiveness Performance Management System in the Healthcare Organization at Thanjavur.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Herman Aguinis (2019) stated in his book titled Performance Management for Dummies, ‘In
some organizations, the culture is highly competitive, and there is a win-lose mentality such
that employees know that to succeed and receive the rewards they want, they need to be
concerned about themselves first and others last. In those organizations, it is unlikely that the
PMS will include measures of contextual performance such as competencies regarding co-
operations and working with others.
Rameshwar Dubey et al (2017) “Organizational culture (i.e. flexible orientation and
control orientation) plays a different role on the differential effect of coercive pressures,
normative pressures, and mimetic pressures on shaping PMs for sustainability benchmarking.
Mannion, R., & Davies, H. (2018) Hospitals, are a dynamic cultural mosaic made up of
multiple, complex and overlapping subgroups with variably shared assumptions, values,
beliefs, and behaviors. Two of the major professional groupings concerned with quality
improvement -doctors- managers- may differ in several important ways. For example, Doctors
may focus on patients as individuals rather than as groups. Managers may be more concerned
with patients as groups and value a social science-based experiential perspective.
Armstrong and Baron, (1998) “Performance management is a strategic and integrated
approach to delivering sustained success to organizations by improving the performance of the
people who work in them
and by developing the capabilities of teams and individual contributors”.
Kandula, (2006) The purpose of performance management is to transform the raw potential
of human resources into performance by removing intermediate barriers as well as motivating
and rejuvenating the human resource.
According to Kandula (2006), the key to good performance is a strong culture. He further
maintains that due to differences in organizational culture, the same strategies do not yield the
same results for two organizations in the same industry and the same location. A positive and
strong culture can make an average individual perform and achieve brilliantly whereas a
negative and weak culture may demotivate an outstanding employee to underperform and end
up with no achievement. Therefore, organizational culture has an active and direct role in
performance management.
