Political Party Intervention on Organizational Working Culture, in Federal Ministry of Ethiopia
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Political science
Abstract
Organizational leaders are believed to be a motivator to increase employee motivation. However, studies indicate that there is a mix of leadership practice and political party intervention in Ethiopia. Thereby, organizational working culture and freedom of employees are in question. Consequently, research has been conducted on the topic of the impact of political party intervention on organizational working culture in Ethiopian Federal Ministry organizations. This was done using a mixed data collection method to identify the motivation gaps. The results show that political party intervention has created rigorous problems in the organization's work culture and employees' freedom of action. In the Ethiopian Federal Ministry organizations, managers' and leaders' practices are mostly ethnically and politically biased. On the other hand, the welfare and needs of employees in organizations are not policy-supported. Accordingly, this study found that political party intervention had a significant impact on organizational working culture.
