In order to achieve goals of the organization, it is important for managers to understand and resolve conflicts among different sectors and to integrate opinions suggested by members of staff. Since there exist various perceptions, values and attitude for individual staff, how mangers could harmonize such differences would be crucial for any organization to develop sustainable. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between organizational climate and organizational commitment in order to provide insights for the managers. The study subjects were hospital staffs from one hospital located in central Taiwan. The questionnaire covered two parts: organizational climate and organizational commitment measurements. The former was referenced from the work by Litwin and Stringer (1968) and the later was locally modified from OCQ (Organizational Commitment Questionnaire) developed by Mowday and his associates (1982). The results showed that hospital staffs obtained the highest score at Structure dimension and the lowest at Warmth dimension in the organizational climate. Respondents scored the highest at Continuance commitment. Demographic attributes were also associated with both organizational climate and organizational commitment. Age was related to Responsibility Risk Support Warmth Conflict and Identity aspects of organizational climate. Different marital status was found to have different perception at Responsibility Reward Risk Support and Identity of organizational climate. The length of working experience was associated with some aspects such as Structure Responsibility Reward Risk Support Warmth Standard Conflict and Identity of organizational climate. When personal characteristics were correlated with orga- nizational commitment, it was found that only working years was significantly linked to Continuance commitment. The result also demonstrated that organizational climate and organizational commitment were positively related. Findings were discussed within the hospital contexts and suggestions were made for future research. |
