Abstract:
Organizational culture and team human factors are the significant factors influencing
the productivity of software development teams. Researchers focused on exploring the
impact of organizational culture and social dynamics on productivity or project outcomes
but the relationship between organizational culture and team human factors of
software development teams still remains under-explored, especially in the context of
IT industry of Pakistan. This study aims to analyze the relationship between organizational
culture and team human factors considering the Competing Values Model
(CVM). CVM is a widely used cultural model in software engineering. The selection of
team human factors and designing of the research instrument is based upon the extant
literature. To pertain to the relationship, hypotheses are proposed and tested using
statistical techniques including correlation analysis, regression analysis, and PLS-SEM.
The findings of the study contribute to the existing literature concerning the factors
that influence the human aspects of software development.
