Abstract :
The research purpose was to assess the relationship between the components of organizational culture (morale,
supervision, information flow, teamwork, involvement and meetings) and the components of career selfefficacy
(personal self-efficacy beliefs, personal outcomes expectation, collective self-efficacy beliefs and
collective outcomes expectation) among the employees of Water and Power Company in Khouzestan. The
sample comprised 400 individuals who were selected through random stratified sampling. The data gathering
tools included Glaser Organizational Culture Questionnaire and Job Self-Efficacy Questionnaire by Riggs &
Knight. The research was a canonical correlation study. Data were analyzed using canonical correlation
coefficient which equaled 0.44. Results indicated that the components of self-efficacy are significantly
correlated to the components of organizational culture. Moreover, morale (independent variable) and personal
self-efficacy belief (dependent variable) tend to have the highest correlation from among the predictor and
criterion variables.
