In order to remain competitive, the company&rsquo:s management must consider the corporate culture as a factor that influences the success of the company. The aim of this research study is to identify corporate culture and examine the influence of selected socio-demographic factors that can influence management concerning corporate culture. Research was carried out in the forest and wood-processing sector in Slovakia on a sample of 2447 respondents. It utilized the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument. The findings indicate that a hierarchy and clan corporate culture were prevalent. The companies were characterized by their formalized and structured work environments as well as by their promotion of family-like relationships within the workplace, too. In terms of the preferred corporate culture, the clan corporate culture was clearly favored for the future. Success should be understood in relation to the internal environment and care for each employee. Following the results, the socio-demographic factors had an influence on management concerning the corporate culture. Therefore, it is essential for managers to tailor their approaches to the individual characteristics of each employee towards establishing a corporate culture that supports mutual relations in the workplace. This can affect the overall success and long-term sustainability of the company.
