This dissertation explored the impact of training in organizational cultures and the influence on job satisfaction in South Korea's manufacturing industry. To address the relationship between and among training, organizational culture and job satisfaction, principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis were applied using the 2013 Korean Human Capital Corporate Dataset. In spite of the significant relationship between job satisfaction and organizational culture, previous research has not fully focused on these relations outside Western countries (Dirani & Kuchinke, 2011). Especially, data on how to promote the organizational culture of the South Korean manufacturing industry is still empirically insufficient. The results of this analysis showed significant relationships between training and job satisfaction, and between organizational culture and job satisfaction, and among training, organizational culture and job satisfaction. Also, this dissertation showed position is statistically significant in all regressions but gender is not statistically significant with current salary. In addition, job satisfaction with work itself is not correlated to gender after inserting the interaction term of gender and position. This study indicates no clear distinction between Adhocracy Culture and Market Culture in South Korea’s manufacturing industry. Furthermore, it is found that the influence of “Official rules and regulations are stressed” which belongs to Hierarchical Culture value is strong, potentially due to the national culture of South Korea. The relationship between job satisfaction and organizational culture is statistically significant between job satisfaction and all types of organizational cultures. In addition, higher Adhocracy and Market orientation result in higher job satisfaction. Therefore, HRD practitioners need to consider encouraging flexible and creative organizational cultures in the manufacturing sector. Future research might consider extending this dissertation's results to other measures of job satisfaction such as socioeconomic status and well-being aspects.
