A comparison of organisational climates of public and private hospitals abroad.

Abstract

Are organisational climates in private hospitals compared to public hospitals, more favourable? To assess the differences, motivational orientations, perceived satisfaction with intrinsic aspects of the job, professional commitment orientations and perceived organisational climates by the medical professionals, senior administrative and professional nursing personnel are compared. All the groups in the public hospital tended to be higher in motivational orientations. On the other hand, all the groups in private hospital showed higher satisfaction with intrinsic aspects of the job, professional commitment orientations, and perceived favourableness of the organisational climate. The differences were found to be not significant.
