Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate impact of organizational culture and values on employee engagement and performance in Brazil.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: In Brazil, aligning organizational culture with employee values boosts engagement and performance. Collaborative and inclusive cultures are highly valued, as are well-being and development opportunities. Cultural sensitivity and trust-building are vital in the diverse Brazilian workforce. Overall, aligning culture with values enhances engagement and performance in Brazil.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social exchange theory, expectancy theory & organizational support theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of organizational culture and values on employee engagement and performance in Brazil. Implement leadership development programs that emphasize the role of leaders in shaping and modeling the desired organizational culture and values. Develop regulatory guidelines that encourage organizations to integrate corporate social responsibility (CSR) into their values and culture.
