Abstract
Summary
In competitive global healthcare organizations, there is an appreciation
of the importance of the health workforce in developing health systems, and
the need to create a positive work climate is increasingly critical to nurses’
satisfaction, productivity and performance. A positive organizational climate
can increase nurses’ commitment to their work and reduce their intention to
leave. Therefore, creating and examining a positive working climate that
directly affects the ethical behavior and attitude of staff nurses which is a
major concern for healthcare.
Most corporate ethics research has focused on the ethical work climate
(EWC) as an important precedent for achieving organizational outcomes.
Nurses who work in ethical work climate promote to produce satisfactory
outcomes and express more organezational citizenship behavior. Thus the
hospitals have to understand the factors affecting nurses’ perception of ethical
work climate, including: job facilitation, team building, decision making,
participation, communications, customer service, quality, staff/physician
relationship and compensation. Which empower all nursing personnel to
perceive more and more organizational citizenship behavior and increase
quality of patient care.
