    Organizational culture describes the shared values, attitudes, and beliefs of an organization that influence how members interact and make decisions. It is shaped by the organization's history and goals. This study evaluated how organizational climate and implementation strategy affected the adoption of a new computer-based health intervention across six primary health care units. The units varied in climate, which was measured using the Creative Climate Questionnaire. Units with more positive climates, as indicated by higher scores, and that used an explicit implementation strategy saw more success in referring patients to the new program. Organizational climate is an important factor in how receptive organizations are to innovations.

    ORGANIZATIONAL CULTRUE:

    Organizational culture is an idea in the field of organizational studies and management which describes the psychology, attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values (personal and cultural values) of an organization. It has been defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization." Ravasi and Schultz (2006) state that organizational culture is a set of shared mental assumptions that guide interpretation and action in organizations by defining appropriate behavior for various situations. Although its difficult to get consensus about the definition of organizational culture, several constructs are commonly agreed upon that organizational culture is holistic, historically determined, related to anthropological concepts, socially constructed, soft, and difficult to change. This definition continues to explain organizational values, described as "beliefs and ideas about what kinds of goals members of an organization should pursue and ideas about the appropriate kinds or standards of behavior organizational members should use to achieve these goals. From organizational values develop organizational norms, guidelines, or expectations that prescribe appropriate kinds of behavior by employees in particular situations and control the behavior of organizational members towards one another.

    The importance of organizational climate


    RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

    The transmission of research findings into routine care is a slow and unpredictable process. Important factors predicting receptivity for innovations within organizations have been identified, but there is a need for further research in this area. The aim of this study was to describe contextual factors and evaluate if organizational climate and implementation strategy influenced outcome, when a computer-based concept for lifestyle intervention was introduced in primary health care (PHC).

    METHOD:
    The study was conducted using a prospective intervention design. The computer-based concept was implemented at six PHC units. Contextual factors in terms of size, leadership, organizational climate and political environment at the units included in the study were assessed before implementation. Organizational climate was measured using the Creative Climate Questionnaire (CCQ). Two different implementation strategies were used: One explicit strategy, based on Rogers' theories about the innovation-decision process, One implicit strategy. After 6 months, implementation outcome in terms of the proportion of patients who had been referred to the test was measured.

    RESULTS:
    The CCQ questionnaire response rates among staff ranged from 67% to 91% at the six units. Organizational climate differed substantially between the units. Managers scored higher on CCQ than staff at the same unit. A combination of high CCQ scores and explicit implementation strategy was associated with a positive implementation outcome.

    CONCLUSIONS:
    Organizational climate varies substantially between different PHC units. High CCQ scores in combination with an explicit implementation strategy predict a positive implementation outcome when a new working tool is introduced in PHC.
