Aims and objectives: To assess the impact of organizational culture on the overall effectiveness and to evaluate the association between each component of organizational culture and its effectiveness of service sector organizations.

The sample size is estimated on the findings of the pilot survey, and stratified random sampling is adopted as the type of sampling. The paired t-test is used as the statistical formula for testing of significance between the mean percentage scores; and Karl Pearson correlation co-efficient r is applied to establish the correlation between overall effectiveness of service sector organization and overall and each facet of organizational culture separately. Results: The findings of the study conclude that the better the organizational culture the better the effectiveness of the organization.
