Organizational transparency has been considered by many experts in the past two decades. In the previous studies more attention has been taken to disclosure of the information; and the relations between the concepts of organizational transparency, organizational culture and performance has not been considered in this article as set forth. Therefore, current research has been studied the effect of organizational transparency on the organization’s performance via organization’s culture at the level of senior executives and managers of 32 active companies in the field of food industry especially in the dairy. The Sampling used is clustering and stratified. This research is a descriptive research of correlation type-structural equation modeling. In this research, Hughes and Morgan, Denison and Rawlins standard questionnaires are used for gathering data. The results show that the effect of organizational transparency on the organization’s performance is positive and significant and organization’s culture affects this relation as an intermediate variable. The point that should be noted is that the effect of organizational transparency on the performance via organizational culture is stronger than the direct effect of organizational transparency on the organization’s performance.
