Published: December 2000

The authors conducted a pilot test of the organizational culture model in a health care setting. The study was based on a questionnaire with mixed quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis confirmed the expected distribution of responses among the subcultures for all three questions, with significant differences in two of the three. Qualitative analysis further strengthened these results. The authors believe the organizational culture model may be a useful tool for making subcultural differences explicit, showing opportunities for better information exchange and opening dialogue between groups. These data should be confirmed with larger studies using psychometrically sound outcome instruments.

Purpose: The study aims to address the gap between leaders' preventative self-regulatory focus and its impact on Chinese primary care physicians (PCPs) well-being, measured by work-family spillover stress and work exhaustion and on healthcare quality, measured by preventive service delivery and clinical guideline adherence.

Design/methodology/approach: This paper conducted a cross-sectional in-person survey with 38 leaders and 224 PCPs in 38 primary health centers (PHCs) in Jinan, Tianjin, Shenzhen and Shanghai. Guided by the regulatory focus theory, this paper built hierarchical linear regression models to examine the association between the leadership's regulatory focus and physician burnout, work-family conflict, clinic guideline adherence and preventive service delivery.

Our aims were to design LE interventions and measure their effectiveness using a comparison of student responses on the Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation Questionnaire (AAMC GQ).
