Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Adhocracy culture insignificantly influenced universities’ performance by -13.3% (R square value of -0.133). The correlation value of (r=-.097, p<0.05) showed the negative relationship between adhocracy culture and universities’ performance. The chi-square value of χ2(5) = 0.038, p=0.049 proved there was an insignificant relationship between adhocracy culture and universities’ performance. Adhocracy culture was insignificantly associated with placement and research output performance, university ranking, student placement by KUCCPS,and graduation rate.Organization managers musthave a good understanding of the adhocracy culture that exists in universities and the impact it generates on typical performance.
