This study focuses on organizational culture as the independent variable and its impact on work adaptability among the divisions of the General Tourism Authority. Organizational culture is defined as a system of conveyed and presumed values, beliefs, attitudes, and actions that categorically define an organization in context to other organizations of its kind while job adaptation is the degree to which one can bend or twist as a result of forces exerted on him or her in his/her job and forces that the person exerts on other and on the job. The research also has the following objectives that is to offer a number of propositions that will assist in increasing the level of organizational sustainment within the Authority. Owing to the significance of the topic under consideration to the General Tourism Authority and its impacts on the society, a descriptive-analytical technique was used in conducting the research by the researcher. A total number of one hundred forty (140) respondents was gathered from various departments and divisions. Participants only and only based on the 30 items questionnaire were selected exclusively as well as comprehensively. As previously indicated, observational checklists were also adopted as instruments that could aid data collection during field work. The researcher used Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 (2010) and also Excel to use descriptive analytical tools inclusive of frequencies, arithmetic averages, standard deviations, simple regression coefficients, coefficient of determination (R2) and Pearson correlation coefficients. Based on the research findings, the quality of organizational culture and job adaptation is mutual. Organizational culture provides the standards whereby employees measure, explain and interact with their environment at the workplace. That is the reason, more specifically, the organizational culture can be highly potent and influential across the dimensions of individual job adaptation. Key to the definition of organizational culture lies the values, attitudes, assumptions, expectations, and practices shared by members of an organization. Based on the findings of the research, the following recommendations are copied to with the view of enhancing work within the general tourism authority. Thus, there is no doubt that organizational culture plays a dual role in determining how much adjustability one can have within the needs that their careers impose on them. This way, utilizing the best construction of the relations of the subjects and by creating the supportive context in the work environment, organizations are enabled to promote adaptability of the job and overall superior performance.
