Abstract

Introduction: A desirable and trusted organizational climate can provide a ground for creating a learning organization. This study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational climate and organizational learning in psychiatric hospitals of Shiraz.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shiraz Psychiatric Hospitals in 2020. The study's statistical population included 179 nurses in the mentioned hospitals who participated in the study by the census. Data were collected through standard Sussmaan and Deep organizational climate and Gomez organizational learning questionnaires and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Multivariate linear regression in SPSS software, version 23.
Results: The participants' mean age and work experience were 34.94 ± 8.44 and 11.82 ± 6.84 years, respectively.According to nurses' perception, there was a positive and significant correlation between organizational learning and organizational learning (p < sub>=0.001, r=0.548). Effective communication (p < 0.001, B=0.442, t=4.698), clarity of objectives (P=0.002, B=0.157, t=1.712) and agreement on procedures (P=0.003, B=0.128, t=1.471), which are among organizational climate dimensions, were identified as organizational learning predictors. This study showed a significant statistical relationship between organizational climate with age and work experience and organizational learning with age and education variables (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Considering the correlation between climate and organizational learning, the predictive role of the three components of effective communication, clarity of goals, and agreement on procedures, hospitals can create a learning organization.
