Organizational Culture Research
We are honored to have researches from around the globe select our OCS to measure culture.
"I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for granting permission to use your Organizational Culture Survey in my dissertation research. Your work was instrumental in helping me explore the impact that a sense of belonging has on the infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) professionals' intent to stay in their role and its associations with the perception of organizational belonging, psychological safety, organizational culture, and job satisfaction/professional well-being.
Thank you again for your support and impactful research.
The Impact of Belonging on Tennessee's Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Workforce and Their Intent to Stay
Many infant and early childhood mental health organizations are facing difficulties retaining professionals to provide high-quality services to infants, young children, and families in Tennessee. When professionals do not experience consistent and responsive connections and healthy interpersonal relationships, they are often prepared to seek alternative employment, which can disrupt the relationships and services they provide to families. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that a sense of belonging has on an infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) professional’s intent to stay in their role and its associations with the perception of organizational belonging, psychological safety, organizational culture, and job satisfaction/professional well-being. An online survey was completed by 128 IECMH professionals in Tennessee. Correlation analysis was used to explore relationships between the demographic and organizational variables and each scale. Multiple linear regression and ANOVA analyses were also conducted to further examine the relationship between these variables and a professional’s intent to stay. Primary hypotheses were supported by greater experiences of organizational belonging, psychological safety, organizational culture, and job satisfaction/professional well-being, which led to a professional’s intent to stay in their current role. The qualitative analysis supported the primary hypotheses and provided a deeper insight into factors that foster a sense of belonging in the workplace. This data also gleaned insight into relationships between a professional’s work environment, leadership behaviors, generational differences, and compensation and their intent to stay. Examining these findings could aid in designing organizational strategies to reduce workforce turnover in the IECMH field, which could enhance relationships and outcomes for infants, young children, and families in Tennessee.

“In my dissertation research , I utilize the Organizational Culture Survey (OCS) developed by Glaser, Zamanou, and Hacker (1987) to assess organizational culture among registered nurses. The OCS is the preferred tool due to its established nature, comprehensive assessment, robust psychometrics, relevance to the research purpose, and its capacity to facilitate a deeper understanding of organizational culture within the context of my study."

Thank you for allowing the use of the Organizational Culture Survey (Glaser et al., 1987). My dissertation applied social exchange theory to assess organizational culture as a mediating variable in the relationship between leadership and employee turnover intention. The survey identified employees’ perspectives of their organization’s overall culture and deemed appropriate for the study with a Cronbach Alpha of 0.969. The study’s findings suggested that leadership through organizational culture impacts employee turnover intention.
