Abstract

Background: In Israeli geriatric centers, organizational culture affects Nursing Staff Performance and job satisfaction. Organizational culture examines how corporate culture affects staff performance and job satisfaction as an aging population increases healthcare needs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was adopted to collect data from nursing staff in numerous Israeli geriatric centers. Determine the type of sampling. Data were collected using self-reported a questionnaire consisting of the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), a Performance Measurement Scale for Hospital Nurses, and a Generic Work Satisfaction Scale assessed job satisfaction. This study was conducted from October 5th, 2023 to January 7th, 2024, Results: Out of the 300 participants, 55% were females. About 63% of the nurses had caregiver certifications and 25.3% had bachelor's degrees. A total of 40% of the participants had experience ≤5 years and 45% were married. Organizational culture, including organizational leadership, teamwork, and strategic emphases were positively correlated with nursing staff performance and job satisfaction. A positive correlation was found between organizational culture (including leadership, teamwork, and strategic emphasis) and both nursing staff performance and job satisfaction. Organizational culture explained 81.5% of the variance in nursing staff performance and 75.3% of the variance in job satisfaction. Demographic factors such as gender, age, or education did not significantly affect job satisfaction and performance outcomes, though experience did influence job satisfaction, with more experienced workers reporting higher satisfaction levels. VI Conclusion: Organizational culture profoundly affects the performance and job satisfaction of nurses in geriatric care. Enhancing organizational culture through effective leadership, strategic management, and teamwork can improve these outcomes. These findings can guide geriatric center managers and policymakers in fostering a supportive and dynamic organizational culture to enhance aged care services.
