Organisational climate in residential homes
Keywords:
organisational climate, organisational climate factors, homes for the elderlyAbstract
The satisfaction of the medical staff and the organisational climate are of primary concern to all health care organisations, since they contribute to the quality of nursing. Due to the government‘s austerity measures prohibiting employment, advancement, remuneration and bonuses, the conditions in Slovene health care have worsened. There are a growing number of dissatisfied health care employees, since the reduced number of employees and the consequently overburdened health care professionals can no longer provide quality and integral patient treatment. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the satisfaction of employees with the organisational climate in the homes for the elderly in Horjul, Medvode, Cerknica and Trnovo. The results of measuring the organisational climate have shown that employees are most satisfied with the stability of their employment (85.8 %), with the work itself (82.5 %) and with their immediate superiors (79.6 %); they are most dissatisfied with the possibilities for advancement (26.5 %) and with their salary (22.8 %).
