This study examines the direct relationship of diversity factors such as personal values and organizational culture with organizational effectiveness in the Indian context. The results of this empirical research, with data collected using a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 210 employees working in consulting and banking sectors in India, and analyzed using structural equation modeling, add to the existing body of research by providing a granular and deeper, empirically tested perspective on the subject. It shows that most dimensions of diversity factors such as employee’s values and organizational culture are significantly and positively related to dimensions of organizational effectiveness. We believe that organizations will benefit from an understanding of such relationships while designing overall organizational goals.

Abstract


This study examines the direct relationship of diversity factors such as personal values and organizational culture with organizational effectiveness in the Indian context. The results of this empirical research, with data collected using a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 210 employees working in consulting and banking sectors in India, and analyzed using structural equation modeling, add to the existing body of research by providing a granular and deeper, empirically tested perspective on the subject. It shows that most dimensions of diversity factors such as employee’s values and organizational culture are significantly and positively related to dimensions of organizational effectiveness. We believe that organizations will benefit from an understanding of such relationships while designing overall organizational goals.
