ABSTRACT
Health-care organizations differ from other institutions due to their unique structure and management. Organizational culture and climate are the key constructs that compose the organizational social context, and might have an impact on employees, such as nurse managers, and the organization itself. The aim of this study was to analyze the connections between organizational culture and climate and work-related empowerment, and also to present culture and climate profiles at team and organization levels. The research was carried out in Lithuania among 193 nurse managers in seven hospitals using a questionnaire that measured organizational culture and climate (Organizational Social Context instrument), and work-related empowerment (Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II and Work Empowerment Questionnaire). The findings showed that nurse managers were both structurally and psychologically empowered when the organizational culture was proficient and resistant, and the climate was engaged and functional. These results suggest that nurse managers are more likely to be empowered when there is an appropriate organizational culture and climate in the workplace. Creating an empowering work environment might have a positive impact on individual and organizational outcomes.
