Aims: Hospitals and medical staff play a major role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychological resilience of the staff and the organizational climate of Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad and the relationship between the two during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Autumn 2021 with 300 employees of Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Lyle Sussman and Sam Deep’s Organizational Climate Questionnaire were utilized for data collection. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the association between organizational climate and psychological resilience. The data analysis was conducted using Stata 15.
Results: Based on the obtained findings, the Mean (SD) age of participants was 34.05 (7.50) years, and their work experience averaged 9.22 (6.94) years. Psychological resilience and organizational climate had a Mean (SD) score of 66.04 (11.92) and 53.83 (14.72), respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between age, work experience, and psychological resilience. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for the effects of age and work experience, there was a significant positive association between the organizational climate and the psychological resilience of the hospital staff.
Conclusion: This study found a significant positive association between organizational climate and psychological resilience among the hospital staff. Specifically, factors such as clarity of goals, role clarity, satisfaction with rewards, effective communication, and agreement on procedures contributed to greater resilience. These findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated approach that considers the dimensions of organizational climate to enhance the resilience of the hospital staff, ultimately improving the hospital management to better prepare for crises.
