Typically, full-time employees spend eight hours a day at their workplaces and about half their
active life at work during their working lives ( Chatzitheochari & Arber, 2009 ). The number of
persons working 50 or more hours per week has risen dramatically over the last 15 years in some
countries, including the USA and the UK (Cohen, 1992). As a result, the corporate culture
of organisations affects both employees’ work lives and their personal lives. Several disciplines,
including human resources management, marketing, management, nursing and community
health, emphasise the importance of appropriate organisational cultures ( Bhaskaran & Sukumaran, 2007 ; Ingelsson, Bäckström, & Snyder, 2018 ; Nuutinen & Lappalainen, 2012 ; Plimmer,
Bryson, & Teo, 2017 ). Studies have also examined the effect of organisational culture on various
aspects of organisations, such as their profitability, employee satisfaction and productivity ( Patterson, Maguin, Dulmus, & Nisbet, 2013 ; Rashid, Sambasivan, & Johari, 2003 ).
