Abstract

Organisational culture is regarded as one of the situational factors that influences the management and leadership of organisations. University leaders are challenged to build cultures that address organisations' needs and goals. This study aims to examine organisational culture being adopted in universities and how it influences leadership performance and student academic culture. A quantitative approach was taken in conducting this study with a multiple regression design. The study involved 332 participants from five Indonesian universities consisting of 98 employees, 58 lecturers and 176 students. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analysed with descriptive and inferential techniques. Results indicate that organisational culture produces significant impacts on leadership performance, administrative services and student academic culture. University leaders must therefore be familiar with their organisation culture and should choose the leadership style best suited to that culture. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
