Abstract

The present study examined the relationship among organizational culture, job satisfaction and turnover intentions among the employees of the Assemblies of God, church in Ghana. Four research objectives were investigated. First to explore the key determinants of organizational culture, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions among employees of the Assemblies of God church in Ghana. Second, to assess the effect of organizational culture on job satisfaction among employees of the Assemblies of God organization in Ghana. Third, to assess the effect of job satisfaction on turnover intentions among employees of the Assemblies of God organization in Ghana, and to investigate the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the link between organizational culture and turnover intentions among employees of the Assemblies of God organization in Ghana. The study employed the quantitative approach. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 100 employees of the Assemblies of God organization Ghana. The data was then processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to address issues in the study. The study found out or revealed that a positive organizational culture significantly enhances employee‟s job satisfaction levels. On the other hand, due to the negative correlation observed between job satisfaction and turnover intentions, this study ascertains that as job satisfaction increases, employees are less likely to quit their jobs. Thus, it is recommended that since teamwork emerged as a key determinant of job satisfaction, the overseers of the Assemblies of God Church in Ghana can bring on board some initiatives that encourage collaboration among staff and the church as a whole.
