Abstract: Organizational culture has become a widely researched topic and efforts to understand the phenomena surrounding managerial motivation have been even more widespread. The most important reason for this is that employee motivation continues to be a big problem and organizational culture plays an important role in determining employee motivation. Organizational Culture is a deeply rooted phenomena, which is the end — product of several variables, most of them being the offshoots of HR policies and practices. The present research study attempts to find out the predictors of managerial motivation in Indian Public Enterprises with the help of some newly constructed scales of organizational commitment and organizational culture. Organizational commitment is treated as dependent variable and 11 dimensions of organizational culture are used as independent variables. The study is carried out on a sample of 72 managers from two well-known public enterprises. The major finding of the study is that two completely different sets of predictors are at work in different organizations in the two public sector enterprises. Even though organizational culture is found to be a strong predictor of managerial motivation in each organization, the particular dimension of culture that influence motivation is found to be organization specific.
