Journal of Management and Business Solutions 3092-7226 1 Serial Number 4 2023 10 01 Examining the Influence of Corporate Culture on Employee Well-Being in Nonprofit Organizations Examining the Influence of Corporate Culture on Employee Well-Being in Nonprofit Organizations 10 19 EN Journal Article 2023 08 08 <p>This study aimed to explore how corporate culture influences employee well-being in nonprofit organizations operating in Tehran, focusing&nbsp;<br>on the interplay of organizational climate, value alignment, and psychosocial support. A qualitative research design was employed using&nbsp;<br>semi-structured, in-depth interviews to collect data from 21 employees working in various nonprofit organizations in Tehran. Participants were&nbsp;<br>selected through purposive sampling to ensure rich, relevant perspectives, and interviews continued until theoretical saturation was reached.&nbsp;<br>Each interview lasted between 45 and 70 minutes and was transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke’s&nbsp;<br>framework, supported by NVivo 12 software for systematic coding and theme development. Three major themes emerged: (1) Organizational&nbsp;<br>Climate, including leadership style, communication norms, job autonomy, recognition, and team dynamics; (2) Value Alignment and Purpose,&nbsp;<br>involving mission congruence, ethical integrity, and the role of volunteer culture; and (3) Psychosocial Well-Being at Work, highlighting&nbsp;<br>emotional exhaustion, psychological safety, and access to mental health resources. Employees who experienced inclusive leadership,&nbsp;<br>transparent communication, and alignment with organizational values reported higher well-being, while those in bureaucratic or ethically&nbsp;<br>inconsistent environments described emotional distress, burnout, and disengagement. Tensions between paid staff and volunteers also&nbsp;<br>emerged as a unique cultural challenge in the nonprofit sector. The study highlights the pivotal role of organizational culture in shaping&nbsp;<br>employee well-being within nonprofit settings. Supportive leadership, value congruence, recognition, and psychosocial resources are critical&nbsp;<br>levers for improving mental health and engagement. These findings underscore the need for culturally responsive leadership practices and&nbsp;<br>well-being strategies that align with the mission-driven ethos of nonprofit organizations.</p> https://www.journalmbs.com/index.php/jmbs/article/download/26/20
