Abstract

The study aims to assess the impact of organizational culture on employee performance in foreign-invested logistics service enterprises from the sustainability perspective. We developed a theoretical framework on organizational culture and explored the factors shaping organizational culture, from which three research hypotheses are proposed. Based on a research sample of 162 foreign-invested logistics service enterprises, the multiple linear regression results indicate that 5 factors of organizational culture positively impact employee performance, including employees’ beliefs, corporate focus of human life, leadership style and authority division, corporate values, relationship with business environment. Based on these findings, we proposed recommendations for improving employee performance in foreign-invested logistics service enterprises from a sustainability perspective.
