Conference Paper

For more than half a century, organizational culture has represented a topic of increasing importance to both researchers and business practitioners. Despite its status as being an area of intensive research, the topic of organizational culture is over-investigated in certain sectors, while remaining unexplored and less understood in others. The purpose of this research is to address this gap and provide initial insight into the organizational culture specifics of the wood industry in Macedonia. The research utilized a quantitative approach with a questionnaire as the main research instrument to assess the link between organizational culture, job satisfaction and socio-demographic characteristics of employees. The data was gathered from one hundred participants from five companies. Descriptive statistics as well as chi-square and correlation analyses were used to explore gathered research data. The research findings provide valuable insight into the organizational culture of this industry that will benefit academics, business leaders and policy makers in their strategic decision making.
