Among the benefits of examining an organization's culture are the opportunity to understand the basic mechanisms of the institutional and structural procedures, to determine the need for change and to ensure the development and satisfaction of the faculty members.
To determine the perceptions of faculty members of organizational culture at nursing schools in Turkey and to examine different perceptions in relation to demographic variables.
The study was conducted with 180 faculty members from seven nursing schools in state universities located in different geographical regions of Turkey that granted permission for the study. All faculty members in these schools with at least 1 year of institutional experience were included in the research. No sampling was required. A demographic information form and an organizational culture scale were used as data collection materials. The organizational culture scale contains 30 items and resolves the organizational culture in three dimensions. The minimum score obtained was 1 and the maximum was 5.
The mean score for faculty members' in total scale was 3.40 (SD = 0.68), while it was 3.26 (SD = 0.77) for the management style dimension, 3.39 (SD = 0.73) for the organizational commitment/relations dimension and 3.68 (SD = 0.73) for the student-oriented dimension. There was no statistical difference between the perception of organizational culture and work experience at the institution, marital status or educational status, but there were differences in age, number of years in the profession and academic titles.
It was found that strong perceptions have been established in nursing schools in regard to student-oriented practices, and that groups consisting of senior academic personnel and experienced academicians are considered to be better at perceiving the importance of the organizational culture. The administrators are recommended to promote policies to enhance the participation in decision-making processes and regularly monitor the cultural changes in the organization.
检查组织文化的好处之一是有机会了解机构和结构程序的基本机制,确定变革的必要性,并确保教职员工的发展和满意度。
确定土耳其护理学校教师对组织文化的看法,并考察与人口统计学变量相关的不同看法。
本研究对土耳其七个位于不同地理位置的国立大学护理学校的 180 名教师进行了研究,这些学校都为研究提供了许可。所有在这些学校工作至少 1 年的教师都参与了研究。不需要抽样。使用人口统计学信息表和组织文化量表作为数据收集材料。组织文化量表包含 30 个项目,分为三个维度来解析组织文化。最低得分为 1 分,最高得分为 5 分。
教师对总分的平均得分为 3.40(SD = 0.68),其中管理风格维度为 3.26(SD = 0.77),组织承诺/关系维度为 3.39(SD = 0.73),以学生为导向的维度为 3.68(SD = 0.73)。教师对组织文化的看法与机构工作经验、婚姻状况或教育程度无关,但与年龄、专业工作年限和职称有关。
研究发现,护理学校在以学生为导向的实践方面建立了强烈的观念,并且由资深学术人员和经验丰富的学者组成的群体被认为更能感知组织文化的重要性。建议管理者推行政策,增强教职员工参与决策过程的程度,并定期监测组织文化的变化。
