Abstract The study investigated the influence of national culture on organizational culture of multinational companies in Ghana. A survey of 269 managers was sampled from Accra, Tema, Takoradi and Kumasi. Structural Equation Modelling statistical (SEM) technique with AMOS 24.0 was employed for the study’s analysis. It was observed that, high uncertainty avoidance and high power distance cultures of Ghana had significant positive consequence on companies’ organizational culture while collective and masculine cultures had positive effect on the companies’ culture but were insignificant in their influence—rejecting the stated hypotheses. The findings contribute significantly to the debate on the influence of national culture on organizational culture—especially on multinational research activities. It also suggests for further research to examine the relationship using different measurement scales in capturing the diverse ethnic groups and their respective effects on corporate culture of companies.
