The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Denison’s organizational culture scale in the banking sector of Pakistan. The questionnaire was pre-tested with one hundred participants before collecting the data for main analysis. Following this, the data was collected from three hundred and thirty three banking professionals. Using Smart-PLS 3.0 software we analyzed the data. The confirmatory factor analysis results revealed that all the cultural components including involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission were of high relevance. The results also have reported satisfactory level of individual item reliability, internal consistency reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity. Referring to these results, we forward that the Denison scale of organizational culture would potentially help banking professionals and academic researchers for gauging organizational culture and its effectiveness in the banking sector of Pakistan.
