Objectives: Health centers are the first level to provide care, and job performance is important to achieving the goals of the health systems. One of the factors that affects job performance is organizational culture. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational culture and employee job performance. Methods: The present cross-sectional study (descriptive-analytical) was conducted on 210 employees in one of the health centers of Kermanshah province using the census method in the years 2021-2022. Standard questionnaires were used to collect information, including the Denison Standard Organizational Culture Questionnaire and the Employee Job Performance Evaluation Questionnaire. The collected information was entered into SPSS (version 25) software and analyzed with statistical tests. A significance level of less than 0.05 was considered. Results: There is a direct and significant relationship between the dimensions of organizational culture and employee job performance (P<0.05). Age and work experience had an inverse relationship with the dimensions of employee job performance (quality of work and initiative). Gender had a significant relationship with the organizational leadership dimension, and marital status had a significant relationship with initiative (P<0.05). Conclusion: Organizational culture has a direct and significant relationship with the dimensions of employee job performance; therefore, by improving organizational culture, we can witness effective and sustainable changes in job performance. In addition, some demographic variables are also related to the level of employee job performance, and organization managers should pay attention to these variables when hiring.
