There is still relatively limited research proving relationships between organisational culture and communication, training and development, teamwork, and shared value toward change management in the context of Malaysian small hydro industry personnel. Additionally, this research aims to uncover the ties that bind the Klang Valley's small hydro industry personnel in terms of communication, training and development, cooperation, and a sense of shared value. This study employed Schein and Lewin’s Theory as the core theory to further strengthen the association between each variable. This study used quantitative methods and required 500 small hydro industry workers in Klang Valley to fill out questionnaires. The questionnaires were sent out to these employees. Researchers discovered a strong connection between employee engagement and communication, training and development, teamwork, and a sense of shared value among the participants. Hence, this study contributes to the subject of organisational culture through the construction of a more complete set of factors connected to change management.
