Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nursing organization culture on resilience of new nurses.
METHODS
Participants were 1,033 new nurses with careers of less than 12 months and who were from 43 general hospitals located in Seoul, Incheon, other metropolitan cities and provinces in Korea. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program.
RESULTS
Relation-oriented culture was scored highest for perception of organizational culture by new nurses (3.35), followed by hierarchy-oriented culture (3.19), innovation-oriented culture (3.12), and task-oriented culture (2.73). The score for resilience of the new nurses was 3.49, and the first subcategories were interpersonal relationship ability 3.66, self-positivity 3.45, and self-control ability 3.36. Relation-oriented culture (β=.30, p < .001) was the most significant factor influencing resilience of new nurses, followed by innovation-oriented culture (β=.14, p=.001), hierarchy-oriented culture (β=.12, p < .001), task-oriented culture (β=−.10, p=.003) in that order (R2(adj. R2)=.16, F=47.04, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
Findings show that for improved resilience in new nurses it is necessary to develop relation-oriented culture to provide a cooperative work environment( friendly interpersonal relation and dialogue) for new nurses and to encourage involvement of these members in the hospital culture.
