Africa Economic Research Consortium has put in place structures that enable employees to be comfortable in the workplace by adopting competitive compensation practices and providing a good work environment for its employees to thrive. However, the low engagement metrics which stand at 43% are not equal to the organizational investment. The purpose of the study was to see how organizational culture affects organizational performance in Africa Economic Research Consortium. The study was anchored on Resource Base View Theory and used a case study research design. The population sample comprised 455 employees who work at African Economic Research Consortium. Self-administered questionnaires delivered over email were used to gather data. Data analysis was done using descriptive and regression analysis. The findings revealed a strong and positive relationship between organizational culture and performance (β=0.248, p=0.003). This study concludes that to improve organizational performance, organizational culture must support and be in accordance with the planned strategy and performance of employees' daily activities. The study recommends that firms should increase efforts to foster a positive corporate culture because culture is now a tactical instrument in the market for achieving long-term competitive advantage.
