Organizational culture has a significant impact on the work environment, as it shapes behavioural patterns, values, and relationships among employees. At the same time, it can substantially contribute to either the reduction or the increase of workplace stress. The thesis explores the relationship between organizational culture and stress in selected ministries, focusing on the impact of two forms of organizational culture on employees’ stress levels. The research for the thesis was conducted using a survey questionnaire and took place between 15 May 2025 and 13 June 2025. The results were statistically analyzed using the SPSS software.
The research findings indicate that respondents from the selected ministries generally perceive the organizational culture as weak, with the mission dimension receiving the lowest average score. Furthermore, approximately one-quarter of the respondents reported experiencing high or very high levels of stress. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant correlation between the strength of organizational culture and the level of stress experienced by respondents in the workplace. Respondents working in environments with a stronger organizational culture were more likely to report lower stress levels. The findings of the thesis therefore suggest that a stronger organizational culture within ministry workplaces can contribute to lower levels of employee stress, while a weaker culture tends to increase it. In this regard, the thesis confirms the importance of organizational culture as a factor influencing employees’ psychosocial well-being and proposes recommendations for improving organizational practices in order to create a more supportive work environment.
