Theresults drawn from regression analyses on a sample of 300 employees show that some dimensions of organizational culture are positively correlated with intrinsic motivation and job performance. Also based on Hayes’ method for the investigation of indirect effects (2013), our data analysis showsthat the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation between the subdimensions of organizational culture and job performance depends on the typeof performance: task- or contextual- performance. This study thus unfolds the particular mechanisms through which organizational culture influence job performance through intrinsic motivation. Theoretical and managerial contributions are discussed.
