Purpose: In today's competitive business environment and the growing shift toward customer-centric strategies, customer relationship management (CRM) has gained increasing importance as a key differentiator among competitors. Nevertheless, CRM faces significant challenges, particularly those arising from the lack of an appropriately designed organizational culture and insufficient attention to data mining in this domain. Moreover, a review of domestic studies revealed a lack of research addressing this gap. Accordingly, the main purpose of the present study was to analyze the impact of organizational culture on customer relationship management with the mediating role of data mining.
Method: This study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population comprised all employees of banks in Ardabil city. Given the estimated population size of approximately 2,000 individuals, the sample size was determined to be 322 using Cochran’s formula. The participants were selected through simple random sampling, and the research questionnaires were distributed among them. Three standardized instruments were employed: the Organizational Culture questionnaire, the Customer Relationship Management Capability questionnaire, and the Data Mining Utilization questionnaire. The validity of the instruments was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis, and their reliability was verified using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the partial least squares (PLS) approach, utilizing SPSS 26 and Smart-PLS 3 software.
Findings: Descriptive data showed that 200 respondents (62.11%) were male and 122 respondents (37.89%) were female. Furthermore, 51 respondents (15.8%) were aged between 20 and 29 years, 90 (27.9%) between 30 and 39 years, 153 (47.6%) between 40 and 49 years, 20 (6.3%) between 50 and 59 years, and 8 respondents (2.4%) were 60 years old or above. Regarding educational level, 21 participants (6.6%) held a high school diploma, 24 (7.4%) an associate degree, 99 (30.8%) a bachelor’s degree, 147 (45.8%) a master’s degree, and 31 (9.5%) a doctorate. In addition, 133 (41.3%) of the respondents were employees of Bank Sepah, 84 (26.1%) were employees of Bank Melli Iran, 47 (14.6%) were employees of Bank Saderat Iran, 43 (13.3%) were employees of Bank Tejarat, and 15 (4.7%) were employees of Bank Keshavarzi. The inferential findings indicated that organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on both customer relationship management and data mining. Additionally, data mining was found to have a positive and significant effect on customer relationship management. Moreover, data mining mediates the relationship between organizational culture and customer relationship management.
Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that in organizations with a data-mining-oriented culture, employees tend to trust data-driven insights and make customer-related decisions based on data analysis. This, in turn, leads to more targeted and effective CRM campaigns. Such an organizational culture encourages employees to leverage data analytics to design innovative customer experiences. Furthermore, a supportive organizational culture facilitates collaboration among departments to optimize data use for CRM purposes. A data-driven organizational culture ensures that insights from data mining are swiftly integrated into CRM strategies. When the organizational culture is customer-centric, data mining is effectively utilized to enhance and sustain customer experience. In conclusion, organizational culture defines the framework for data acceptance and utilization; when it is both data-driven and customer-oriented, data mining becomes a key instrument for improving customer relationship management.
