The Influence Of Organizational Culture On Healthcare Professionals' Job Performance And Productivity

Abstract

Organizational culture significantly impacts healthcare professionals' job performance and productivity, yet the mechanisms through which culture influences these outcomes remain underexplored. This study examines the relationship between organizational culture types and healthcare professionals' job satisfaction, emotional intelligence, and overall performance. A systematic review of literature from 2015-2024 was conducted, focusing on organizational culture frameworks, job satisfaction measures, and performance indicators in healthcare settings. The Competing Values Framework was used to categorize organizational culture types. Findings reveal that clan and adhocracy cultures positively correlate with job satisfaction (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), while hierarchy and market cultures show mixed results. Emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between organizational culture and job performance (β = 0.45, p < 0.01). Healthcare professionals in supportive cultures demonstrate 23% higher job satisfaction and 18% lower burnout rates. Organizational culture serves as a critical determinant of healthcare professionals' performance and productivity. Healthcare organizations should prioritize developing supportive, collaborative cultures to enhance staff well-being and patient outcomes.
