Abstract

This study aims to measure the organizational culture perception and effectiveness levels of hospital teams, to reveal whether the organizational culture perception and team effectiveness levels of health teams are different according to socio-demographic characteristics, and to reveal the relationship between organizational culture and team effectiveness. The research population consisted of the staff at an oral and dental health centre in Yozgat City in Türkiye. The study sample was tried to reach all healthcare professionals who voluntarily accepted to participate in the research using the convenience sampling method. The study was conducted with 152 healthcare professionals who agreed to participate. The questionnaire used in the study consists of three parts. The first part includes statements regarding the participants' socio-demographics, working characteristics and health status. The second part includes the "Team Effectiveness Scale", and the third includes the "Competitive Values Approach Based Organizational Culture Typology”. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the rate of participants who stated that their general health and mental health were in poor condition (8.6% and 15.1%, respectively) was relatively low. Therefore, hospital healthcare workers can be considered good in terms of both mental and general health levels. On the other hand, team effectiveness and organizational culture perceptions were high in this study. Moreover, it was found that clan culture and hierarchy culture, which are sub-dimensions of organizational culture, significantly predict team effectiveness.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı hastane ekiplerinin örgütsel kültür algısı ve etkililik düzeylerini ölçmek, sağlık ekiplerinin örgütsel kültür algısı ve ekip etkililiği düzeylerinin sosyo-demografik özelliklere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymak ve örgütsel kültür ile ekip etkililiği arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye'de Yozgat ilinde bulunan bir ağız ve diş sağlığı merkezindeki çalışanlar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın örnekleminde, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden tüm sağlık çalışanlarına ulaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 152 sağlık çalışanı ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada kullanılan anket üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, çalışma özellikleri ve sağlık durumlarına ilişkin ifadeler yer almaktadır. İkinci bölümde "Ekip Etkinliği Ölçeği", üçüncü bölümde ise "Rekabetçi Değerler Yaklaşımına Dayalı Örgütsel Kültür Tipolojisi" yer almaktadır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda genel sağlık ve ruhsal sağlıklarının kötü durumda olduğunu belirten katılımcıların oranının (%8,6) ve %15,1) oldukça düşük olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu nedenle, hastane sağlık çalışanları hem ruhsal hem de genel sağlık düzeyleri açısından iyi olarak değerlendirilebilir. Öte yandan, bu çalışmada ekip etkililiği ve örgütsel kültür algıları yüksekti. Ayrıca örgüt kültürünün alt boyutlarından olan klan kültürü ve hiyerarşi kültürünün ekip etkililiğini anlamlı şekilde yordadığı bulunmuştur.
