questionnaire is used as an instrument of data collection which comprising closed-ended
questions was developed, adapted and modified, then distributed to the employees (n=131) of
CBE in Debrebirhan branches in order to gather data relevant to the research objectives. The
data collected on the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS (version-23). Pearson correlation
coefficient analysis was carried out to test the hypotheses. Multiple regressions analyses were

employees,
job performance and one of the the dimension of organizational culture in CBE in the
study setting. There was a positive correlation between consistency culture and employees,

Ho but accepting Ha. There was a positive correlation between adaptability culture and
employees,
job performance with the r value of (n=120, r = 0.216, p=.018 ) at p < 0.05, rejecting
Ho, but accepting Ha. There was a positive correlation between mission culture and employees,
job
performance, indicating that (n=120, r = 0.326, p= .000 ) at p < 0.05 rejecting Ho, but accepting
Ha. There was a positive relationship between involvement culture and employees,

performance with r value of 0.086 (n=120, r = .086, p= .351), at p > 0.05 accepting Ha, but
