Abstract: Organizational culture of an organization is paramount to the management and coordination of business operations in an organization. The type of organizational culture in an organization being strong or weak will have an influence on employees’ job satisfaction and performance. It is noticeably observed that employees perform well in an environment that they feel satisfied with, and the level of satisfaction derived can be an antecedent of the corporate culture being implemented in the organization. Adopting a literature review approach, the purpose of the study was to analyse the organizational culture two multinational companies in relations to their employees’ job satisfaction. Thus, the study is conducted with the objective of analysing the corporate cultures of these two technology giant companies in terms of their employees’ job satisfactions. By utilizing a qualitative research method, we found that both companies’ corporate cultures contain relevant elements that are necessary for employees’ job satisfactions. Also, to some extend both companies have significant similarities in terms of their corporate cultures. As a limitation, the study is unable to determine which company has superior corporate culture than the other in terms of employees’ job satisfaction. Thus, we suggest similar studies to be conducted on the topic with the use of organizational culture profile (OCP) survey instrument in determining the corporate cultures of the two companies in relations to their employees’ job satisfaction and performance.
