The study investigates how organizational culture affects the relationship between downward influence strategies and organizational success. Organizations were classified into two categories (participative and manipulative) and two separate sets of stepwise multiple regressions were performed for each dependent variable, considering influence strategies as independent variable and organizational success variables as dependent variables. The results indicate that participative culture encourages the use of personalized relationship, exchange of benefits and assertiveness, and discourages the use of asserting expertise and negative sanctions to facilitate the success of the organization. Personalized relationship may increase commitment but it is also likely to make organization less effective.
