The research design for the study was a correlational survey research design. Considering the standardized sampling table of Krejcie and Morgan (1970), the researcher used a sample of forty five respondents selected from the employees working with UMEME-Najjanankumbi Branch. The researcher used purposive sampling technique to select respondents to participate in the study. The study found a positive relationship between bureaucratic culture, supportive culture, procedural culture and job satisfaction. Only innovation culture had a negative relationship with job satisfaction. The findings of this study could be attributed to the fact that the employees have become a family and feel like the organization has become part of them. Such a culture enhances employee performance and productivity.
