A value culture always plays a significant role in organization development. Although the
contemporary business organizations are gradually realizing the importance of these values
in enhancing organization effectiveness, most of the organizations in Pakistan are still in
dire need to adapt the values of openness, trust, authenticity and empowerment, collaboration
and continuous organization learning in order to enhance organizational effectiveness and
efficiency to survive or compete. Especially, the SME sector which constitutes a considerable
part of Pakistani economy where majority of the firms have not been able to realize their full
potential, the absence of value culture is constantly giving rise to low employee morale and
less productivity and declining firms’ performance. Using goal theory of organization
effectiveness, this study explores the association of four important OD values: employee
empowerment, open communications, employee collaboration and continuous learning on
the perceived effectiveness taking the case of 20 small and medium enterprises located in
Karachi. A hypothetic-deductive approach is adapted to obtain the findings. The results
support that open communication, employee collaboration and continuous organization
learning are significantly associated with the perceived goal achievement levels of the firms.
A positive but statistically insignificant association is observed in case of employee
empowerment. The regression analysis indicates that the selected four OD values significantly
contribute to the perceived organizational effectiveness on the given four important goals
of the firm. The findings of this study do not only contribute to the organizational development,
but would also help the government and the concerned authorities to devise strategies to
develop and reinforce the value system in SMEs to deal with effectiveness and productivity
issues in this major sector.
