Employees are very vital and valuable asset of an institution. An institution’s success might not be realized without its worker’s support and involvement. This study examined Intrinsic Factors of motivation which are influencing intention to leave among health department’s employees in District Okara (Punjab) Pakistan.

Assessing, diagnosing and measuring organizational culture is the start point in developing organizations as organizational literature reveals. Therefore, different cultural dimensions models have been developed to portray organizational culture, identifying cultural attributes of a specific organization, or sub-cultures within the same organizations, and recognizing the dominant culture and the preferred culture that an organization should change to. According to Denison [1], there are several reasons that made us assess organizational culture: (1) New business applications, (2) new mergers and acquisitions, (3) a new president or CEO on a board, (4) organizations that may be facing decline and (5) new strategic initiatives.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of CKM on innovation capability of the private banks of Pakistan under the moderating role of organizational structure. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data have been collected via questionnaires distributed among the 400 employees (Officer Grade) of private banks in the Southern Punjab, Pakistan. The Feedback was received by the 301 employees. Hypotheses were tested using “Multiple Regression Analysis”. Findings: The results of the study indicate that Customer Knowledge Management (knowledge from customer, knowledge about customer and knowledge for customer) has positive impact on the innovation capability (innovation speed and innovation quality) with the moderating role of the organizational structure. Research limitations/implications: The basic precautions are kept in consideration to make the research free from those errors which may cause interruption in data analysis and interpretation. But in spite of all the carefulness, there were some limitations which caused hurdles in the smooth working of the research. The main of the limitation was that the targeted population in collection of the data were restricted to the private banks of Southern Punjab, as it was very complex to capture the data from the whole province or the country within the available resources. Moreover, respondents of the understudy organizations were reluctant and hesitant in providing appropriate information regarding banks because of organizational privacy policies. Lastly, the study was restricted to only few variables Like CKM, Organizational structure, Innovation capability and Business performance as more variables like organizational learning can also be added as moderating variable in the study. Practical implications: The consequences of this research will be helpful for the business organizations to attain their target goals by adding customers’ knowledge and ideas into their policies and practices. This will provide applicable guidelines to the banks to implement CKM principles into their system to be more innovative and creative. This research will also prove beneficial for the banks because it provides logical reason of giving value to the stakeholders of the firm like customers and employees. Originality/Value: CKM is a new concept which is introduced in the research as competitive advantage for the banks in the Pakistan. As if the banks take customer’s feedback into consideration, it will lead towards less wastage of resources and improved business performance.

As Kotter commented, a change is required to build an organization that wins in both the present and the future. However, for change to be successful, it should take the culture aspects into consideration. Hence, this research brought the cultural component under full investigation in terms of both the national and organizational cultures by utilizing Hofstede’s 6-Dimension Model and Hofstede Multi-Focus Model. The purpose is to provide a new culture-based change management model. The new model is called ElKattan’s 5-Theme Model. The model tackles a number of pitfalls in the existing models like Lewin’s 3-Phase Model and Kotter’s 8-Step Model. The study used a qualitative research design in a context of two medium-sized companies in Egypt. In order to assess the influence of the culture on the change, the organizational culture was measured using a survey that is based on the Hofstede Multi-Focus Model. The research showed how a lack of practicing the components of the 5-Theme Model led to failure in implementation. This paper provides a comprehensive model of how organizational change should be managed by medium-sized companies in any industry globally. The model suggests a number of components that must be practiced during the different phases of the implementation. The model provides managers with a complete practical toolkit that can be used while managing the change during the different phases of the implementation. The model provides integration between change, strategy, project management, and culture. To the researcher’s knowledge, no such model is available in change management literature.
