Background: Organizational culture is referred to simplistically as ‘the way things
are done around here which sounds ritualistic. Job satisfaction is one of the factors that can
affect the health of staff nurses. Organizations often cause job dissatisfaction among nurses
in three mechanisms which include formal structure of organization, command and control
leadership. This study aimed to: Identify the relation between organizational culture and job
satisfaction among staff nurses. Design: A descriptive correlational design was used to
conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted at all inpatient departments in Sohag
University Hospital which is located at Sohag governorate. Subjects: (114) staff nurses out of
(284). They were selected randomly. Results: constructive culture is the highest organizational
culture type as reported by staff nurses and less than fifth of participants had high level of job
satisfaction. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant weak positive correlation
between total organizational culture and job satisfaction. Also, it was concluded that age of
nurses and marital status considered as factors that affect job satisfaction and organizational
culture. Recommendation: Enhance nurses' organizational learning through
designated in-
service educational programs.
