Cultural and work performance are currently sought-after concepts to understand with the purpose of improving their metrics in practically any organization. This work aims to assess the influence of organizational culture on the work performance of employees in a metal-mechanical industry company in Durango. To achieve this, an analysis was conducted on a sample of 232 employees of the company. To measure work performance, Stoner's scale (1994) was used, and for organizational culture, Cameron and Quinn's OCAI model (1999) was employed. Both were rigorously validated before their final application. It was found that the dominant culture is adhocratic, and the predominant dimension of work performance is behavior. Furthermore, applying linear regression analysis provided evidence that culture has an influence on work performance in the studied company. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzes the design of performance appraisal systems in a sample of 52 large Spanish companies. We consider the main strategic decisions- purpose, evaluators, criteria, formats and frequency of feed-back-to identify clusters of companies. Although the three clusters that we identify have similarities with the traditional distinction between output control systems and behavior control systems, we also find some peculiarities of the Spanish context.
