    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-09-19) Doreen Arago
    The study sought to establish the effect of organizational culture on sustainability of The AIDS Support Organization (TASO), Soroti branch. The study objectives were to; examine the contribution of organizational norms, leadership and organizational power dynamics to the sustainability of TASO Soroti. The researcher used a correlation research design and used both qualitative and quantitative research approaches in collecting data. The study population was 75 and used a sample size of 63 respondents. The sample comprised of Centre Advisory Committee (CAC) members, staff and Lay health workers of TASO Soroti. Data was analyzed by the use of computer aided SPSS data analysis software. Presentation of data has been done by the use of tables and percentages. Descriptive statistics and correlations were used to compare culture and organizational sustainability to establish the strength between dependent and independent variables. Findings in this study indicate that there is a relationship between organisational culture and organizational sustainability. There was a link between TASO Soroti organisational norms and its sustainability, TASO Soroti leadership has had a negative impact on organisational sustainability and organisational power dynamics had a significant influence on the sustainability of TASO Soroti. The study recommends that; TASO leadership should meaningfully involve all stakeholders in planning, resource mobilization, implementation and evaluation of its programmes, Government should review its HIV/AIDS service delivery policies to favor quality service providing organisations like TASO and sieve out opportunists who get in control of funds but incapable of offering quality service, TASO embrace visionary staff and board members who can ably plan and maintain its activities even with reduced donor support and TASO should establish initiatives that can promote locally generated financial resources to meet its service delivery needs.
