Nothing. Performance measures must be created taking into account organizational factors. Culture is one of them. So, review your measures. Saving Changes...

One way could be try to factor in organizational cultural issue in project management planning. If possible identify cultural (unknown/known) concern and capture in risk register.
In project governance they could be reviewed time to time.
I'm a firm believer that change happens one person and then one team at a time.
Control the things you can, and accept those you cannot (but try to influence them!).
I've seen cases where a single individual in a team (not necessarily the PM) was able to improve performance within that team which became a source of inspiration for other teams.
Is there thing you control? Then work on them, like Kiron suggested.
Else Sergio post might be the answer. Saving Changes...

I agree with Thomas. While you lack the power to change bad organizational culture, do your utmost to create bubble of good culture within your project or department. Often this is enough to significantly improve the performance of those within your sphere of influence.
