Organizational Culture and Climate: Assessment and Analysis
This paper will examine the organizational culture and climate of Kaiser
Permanente Hilo facility. Elements of this paper will include the summary of the
analysis, how the organizations mission, vision and goals play in to the culture and
climate of the organization, as well as identified strengths and weaknesses. We will also
explore the organizations environment and ability to support a safe healthy working
environment for staff and patients and what part leadership style plays in that alignment.
Organizational Culture Description
Organizational culture can be defined as the way an organization carries out their
operations, this is based on the mission, vision, and goals of the organization, it guides
the decision-making process used by leadership within the organization and helps to
form the organizations climate. Organizational climate is the employee’s perception of
the work environment and what affect it has on their physical and emotional wellbeing
(Iljins, Skvarciany & Gaile-Sarkane, 2015). Organizational culture and climate are
somewhat similar because they both pertain to perceptions but culture refers to the
organizations values and how those beliefs are lived out within the organization, while
organizational climate refers to how the employees perceive their experiences and
interactions within the organization.
An organizations culture has been linked to the longevity and effectiveness of an
organization. It also has a direct impact on employee productivity, morale, engagement,
satisfaction and wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Assessing the organizational
culture to determine style and workplace outcomes is an important step in determining
the effectiveness of the alignment of the organizations mission, vision and goals (Fisher
