dc.descriptionThe study focused on the impact of organizational culture on organizations’ performance in the Public Health Sector. Specifically the study aimed to determine the influence of task organization on organizational performance, to examine workers attitude and goals of organizational performance and to identify the influence of organizational climate on organizational performance. The study area was Ocean Road Cancer Institute, Tanzania; and the study covered a population of 246 out of which the sample of 90 respondents were selected by the use of purposive and judgemental sampling techniques. The researcher used both primary and secondary way of collecting data such as interviews, questionnaire, and documentary review. Eventually collected data were analysed by the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The major findings shows that task organisation factors such as encouraging employees to make decisions, assignment of clear duties and responsibilities, opportunity to pursue interesting and challenging work, and others have positive impact on organisation performance. Again, the study shows that factors that constitute organisational climate such as understanding the nature of the organisation output oriented, feeling of the presence of security working in the organisation, friendly and cooperative working environment; and feeling that organisation exerts pressure on work and being sensitive to the effects of stress have high impact on ORCI performance. Similarly, the study indicates that factors that form workers attitude and goals such as, commitment and dedication, courtesy and punctuality, and presence of high morale and loyalty to the organisation are regarded as important factors with influence on organisation performance Therefore, it is recommended that in order to ensure that organisational culture has direct impact to performance; ORCI has to promote task organisation factors, organisation climate and factors associated with workers attitude and goals.
