The Role of Organizational Culture in the Implementation of E-Administration: A Field Study at Banks in Hodeidah

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the organizational culture practice and its impact on the application of e-administration in the banks operating in Hodeidah. The study used the descriptive analytical method. Since the study population consisted of only (146) administrative staff members, (126) members were selected by the complete census method to whom the questionnaire was distributed to collect relevant data. Major findings showed various degrees in the level of organizational culture and e-administration in favor of the independent variable (organizational culture). Findings also showed statistically significant positive impact of organizational culture represented by its four dimensions (organizational norms, organizational expectations, organizational values, and organizational beliefs) on the application of e-administration. Furthermore, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences of the mean scores among sample's responses on the level of application of e-administration attributed to their demographic variables. However, there were statistically significant differences in the level of organizational culture attributed to gender and courses of computer skills, but there were no differences in other demographic variables. The study recommends that organizational culture in banks regulations should be promoted in order to help them introduce modern technology (e-administration) in all their activities.
