Does Organizational Culture mediate the relationship between working facilities and career success?

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of workplace facilities (WF) on career success (CS), emphasizing the mediating role of organizational culture (OC). Physical infrastructure, such as offices, tools, equipment, and gadgets, can enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. However, these elements alone may not directly lead to career success; their effectiveness is significantly influenced by the organization's cultural environment. Positive organizational cultures strengthen the benefits of high-quality facilities, whereas negative cultures weaken their impact. The study employs a survey methodology, targeting employees of private and public organizations in Bangladesh, and utilizes structural equation modeling (SEM) alongside correlation, regression, and bootstrapping analyses to examine the WF-OC-CS relationship. The findings reveal that organizational culture plays a critical mediating role, enhancing the positive effects of workplace facilities on career success. This research offers practical insights for organizations aiming to create supportive environments that maximize the value of workplace resources. By fostering positive organizational cultures, institutions can better align their infrastructure investments with employee growth and success. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of developing policies and practices that promote cultural and organizational well-being, contributing to a deeper understanding of the WF-OC-CS dynamic in organizational research.
