400-600 words needed for this assignment

Most health care organizations have a distinct culture that affects the strategic management of human resources (HR) and the attainment of organizational goals and objectives. The health care organization that you are working for has been purchased by a larger health care conglomerate. The culture under the previous hospital management was relaxed and focused on a collegial work environment, high patient and employee satisfaction, and investing in training for personnel. The new hospital administration has told you that the hospital is facing a financial deficit and that you, as the HR manager, need to introduce to employees the new culture of cost containment and increasing patient flow (even if that sacrifices patient and employee satisfaction). Training of employees will be significantly reduced as a cost-saving measure. These cost-containment strategies are expected to save 15 jobs within the hospital. Will the change in health care culture negatively or positively affect the organization’s success? Complete the following:

  • Locate a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed articles that discuss the role of organizational culture in facilitating organizational success.
  • Post the articles as an attachment.
  • Provide a summary of the article and share how the culture impacted the workplace.
  • State whether you agree or disagree with the end results.
  • Support your views with at least 1 other peer-reviewed article.

The purpose of this analysis is to give you practical experience in understanding the leadership qualities of someone you admire. Select someone you consider to be a leader, prepare interview questions, perform the interview, and evaluate. The Holt Types Test should be used in your interview and discussed in the paper. A suggestion would be to take the test for that person and reconcile against actual results. Cell phone conversations and E-mails are satisfactory.

Final paper will be 10 pages minimum, no maximum; please include Holt Excel Spreadsheet and interview questions. Due on 07Jun2017 at 6 PM.

Please contact the instructor if you have another project idea that you would like to pursue. This should be significant enough to be used in future classes.
