Failure of projects remains a menace in the world including Tanzania. In recent years, the government of Tanzania has made various public reforms, including project reforms. However, these efforts have proven futile, since they do not touch the heart of projects. Working culture towards project implementation is critical in Local Government Authorities as has an impact to the project performance. The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of working culture towards the performance of the projects. This study adopted a cross sectional research design. To achieve the objectives of the study, a theoretical framework was developed. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from 278 employees. The results of the multiple regression test showed a high positive impact of the study variables on the working culture towards the project performance [(R= 0.357) and R-Square= 0.127] Since the study showed that working culture has a positive association with the project performance, thus employees should be empowered towards their crucial role in minimizing failure of the project performance. The study contributes additional literature on working culture in projects, since very little has been done by past researchers. In additional the study provides practical recommendations on how management can positively influence the working culture to aid the project performance in local government authorities in Tanzania. The study is valuable to policy and decision making of the projects.
