Abstract

This exploratory research studies the relationship between organisational culture and job satisfaction in social economy organisations. Specifically, 269 participants from 15 Portuguese Private Institutions of Social Solidarity (IPSSs) were studied. The results indicate that employees’ and managers’ perspectives differ regarding the organisation’s cultural profile and that employees indicate a moderate level of job satisfaction. Findings show a significant relationship between the types of culture market and hierarchy and employees’ low level of satisfaction, which is different from the for-profit organisations. Given the importance of the topic for organisations, this study opens a research path for the social economy, namely IPSSs, and contributes to the success of IPSS people management.
