Abstract: This study was conducted on the influence of organizational culture on project team performance in NGOs using a specific reference of Living Water Rwanda. The specific objectives of the study were; to investigate the influence of control on project team performance in Living Water Rwanda; to examine the influence of reward criteria on project team performance in Living Water Rwanda and to analyze the influence of risk tolerance on project team performance in Living Water Rwanda. The study adopted a cross sectional research design where questionnaires, interviews, FGDS and documentary analysis were used to collect data from team members, project managers and team leaders. At the end of the study, it was found out that organization control and risk tolerance had a positive influence on project team performance in Living Water Rwanda organization whilst reward criteria had a negative influence on project team performance. This meant that the organization had put so much effort to see that they control their team’s work performance and have been risk tolerant which have positively influenced project team performance but however, the organization lacks equitable reward criteria which has negatively affected the project team performance. Therefore, it is recommended that the organization need to put in place formal guidelines to be followed in controlling staffs which are balanced on each and every one, come up with a reward criterion that is equitable to all project team members as well as practicing risk tolerance on individual level of project team members.
