Organisational culture and productivity of the construction industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This thesis investigated levels of productivity, barriers to productivity improvement, and the Organisational Culture (OC) profiles of companies in KSA’s construction industry. Relationships between OC and productivity and how OC influences productivity were also examined. Understanding OC’s effect on productivity will enable managers and employers to better understand the OC and productivity of their staff thereby facilitating the improvement of outcomes. The research conducted over three phases comprised qualitative and quantitative analyses. A novel survey measurement instrument was validated for evaluating perceived productivity while the Denison Organisational Culture Survey was adapted to measure OC. Factor analysis and SEM were utilised
