Work culture has a compelling effect on work redesign efforts. Because culture can either inhibit or promote innovation, it needs to be examined and understood. To achieve this understanding in a community hospital setting, the authors used measures of unit culture and work characteristics. The data analysis revealed cultural patterns specific to each patient care unit. Nursing staff members are using this information to effect change in their care delivery model.
工作文化对工作重新设计的努力有着显著影响。由于文化既可能抑制创新，也可能促进创新，因此需要对其进行审视和理解。为了在社区医院环境中达成这种理解，作者采用了单位文化和工作特征的衡量方法。数据分析揭示了每个患者护理单元特有的文化模式。护理人员正在利用这些信息来改变他们的护理提供模式。
