| Summary: | Introduction: Organization structure and manpower constitute two basic
components of anorganization and both are necessary for stablishing an
organization. The aim of this survey was to investigate the type of the
organization structure (mechanic and organic) from viewpoint of senior and
junior managers in Shiraz teaching hospitals and creativity in each of these two
structures.
Methods: In this cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study, organization
structure and organizational creation questionnaires were filled out by hospital
managers. According to the statistical consultation and due to limited target
population, the entire study population was considered as sample. Thus, the
sample size in this study was 84 (12 hospitals and every hospital, n=7). For
data analysis, SPSS 14 was used and Spearman correlation coefficient and t-test
were used.
Results: Results showed that there is a negative association between centralization
and complexity with organizational creation and its dimensions. Also there
was a negative association between formalization and 4 organizational creation
dimensions: reception change, accepting ambiguity, abet new view and less
control outside (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the creation in hospitals with
organic structure is more than that in hospitals with mechanic structure. |
