Multistage sampling technique was used to select 146 respondents with the use of a well-structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Results revealed the mean age of the respondents were 39.2 years, majority (58.9%) were males, 89.1% were married and mean income of the employees were #81,610 per month. Major human resources functions that influenced organizational culture identified were: recruitment and selection (x̅=3.67), performance appraisal (x̅=3.67), career planning (x̅=3.58), training and development (x̅=3.36) and compensation administration (x̅=3.25). Also, employees abide with the organisation culture based on the way they preserved and maintained by the employees (x̅=3.05) and code of conduct were adhered to in the studied organisation (x̅=3.05). More so, significant association existed between marital status (χ2=44.21, p≤0.05), educational status (χ2=71.03, p≤0.05), age (r=0.079, p≤0.005), years of working experience (r=0.031, p≤0.005), human resources strategies (r=0.389, p≤0.005) and organizational culture.
