Abstract

In the search for psychological determinants of professional well-being, organizational culture attracts attention as a potentially influential factor, in particular, such a mediating effect as work control, since the type of organizational culture determines how control is implemented, which, in turn, can affect the professional well-being of an employee. The purpose of this study is to identify the presence and nature of the relationship between the type of organizational culture, job control, and employees' professional well-being. The aim of the study was implemented by using a cross-sectional method using the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) by Cameron and Quinn, the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) by Spector, and the Work Control Scale by Dwyer, & Ganster. The study involved 92 Ukrainian higher education teachers. The statistical processing of the results included mediation analysis and correlation analysis. The results of the study found that organizational culture is a determinant of professional well-being when an employee has control over their work. The complete mediation of the opposite types of organizational cultures by perceived control over work signifies the universality of this variable and demonstrates its importance for achieving professional well-being under any working conditions. The mediating effect we identified in the relationship between the studied variables deepens the understanding of the role of organizational culture in shaping the professional well-being of employees and opens new opportunities for effective prevention of its violations.
