A within-subject, vignette-based experiment was conducted to compare the effects of clan and hierarchy cultures on work engagement among Turkish employees. Results indicated that hierarchy culture and clan culture both lead to high work engagement. However, mixed-design ANOVA results revealed that organizational culture type neither individually nor interacting with openness to experience lead significant differences in work engagement levels. The coexistence of a clan culture and hierarchy culture in Turkish companies may be one explanation for these findings. The knowledge of how and under what conditions organizational culture affects work engagement may be enhanced by future cross- country comparative studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessorganizational culturework engagementopenness to experiencevignette-based experimentcollectivistic country contextSelf-EfficacyJob DemandsPersonalityCreativityResourcesBurnoutConference Object10.2478/picbe-2023-0184
