Design of a scale to measure organizational climate in community primary care clinics / Diseño de una escala para medir el clima laboral en clínicas comunitarias de atención primaria

Resumen

Aim: Adapt a scale to assess community primary care clinic organizational climate.


Background. The combination of structural, organizational, and individual elements creates the organizational climate, which affects organizational and psychological processes and consequences. This is especially true in healthcare.


Method: 255 people participated from four California community clinic staff. Mostly, medical assistants, administrative workers, and patient service representatives. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine construct validity. The detected components' internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach's alpha. The dimensions were used to compare the four clinics' scores.


Findings: The scale is psychometrically sound enough to assess first-level community clinic work climates. Five work climate dimensions were identified: collaborative and goal-oriented work, clinical organization, job satisfaction, relationships with superiors, and work-home balance. Despite overall positive workplace environment ratings, nonparametric analyses of variance showed significant differences amongst clinics.
