Does organizational culture or organizational culture fit really matter?

We examine the existence and performance impact of internal organization culture fit and external organization culture fit. Using two different operationalizations to measure internal culture fit and external culture fit, our results provide first empirical support for theorized but not previously tested relationships between organizational culture fit, organizational behavior and organizational performance. The analysis gave us the same suggestions: the organization culture fit is positively related to organization behavior; organization behaviors fully mediates the effect of organization culture on organization performance, that means organization culture can´t directly function well on performance. These findings have important implications for organization practice and organizational strategy research.
