Abstract

Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the correlation between organizational culture and the organizational commitment of surgical team members.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 200 surgical team members at hospitals affiliated with Iran Univesity of Medical Sciences in 2019. Cluster sampling and then classification with proportional allocation was performed to select samples. Three questionnaires of demographic information, Robbin's organizational culture, and Allen and Meyer's organizational commitment were used to collect data. Independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.
Results: The participants’ mean age in the study was 34.37±8.21 years, and they were mostly women (62.5%). The present study showed a significant and direct correlation between the operating room's organizational culture and the surgical team's organizational commitment (P<0.001, r=0.483). A significant relationship was found between organizational culture and gender (P=0.033), and the organizational culture mean score was higher in men than women. Also, there was a significant correlation between organizational commitment and work experience (P=0.048), as people with less work experience had higher organizational commitment.
Conclusion: Considering the positive correlation between operating room organizational culture and surgical commitment of the surgical team, researchers believe creating an appropriate organizational culture in the operating room can help create organizational commitment in surgical team members.
