Relationship between GLOBE organizational culture dimensions, job satisfaction and leader-member exchange in Serbian organizations

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationships between GLOBE organizational culture dimensions, facets of job satisfaction and the leader-member exchange relation in Serbian organizations. One of the most important aspects of this study was the demonstration of the utility of applying more general cultural theory to the study of organizational cultures. The sample consists of 256 middle managers in Serbian organizations. The results obtained proved that organizational culture dimensions are significant predictors of all facets of job satisfaction and that relations between some organizational culture dimensions and facets of job satisfaction are moderated by the leader-member exchange (LMX) variable. Our results may be of interest for human resource managers in Serbian organizations as well as for foreign investors.
