Denison’s model

In recent years, scientists have concluded that the outstanding position of successful businesses depend greatly on intangible but strong factors like spirit, potential, creativity and their organizational culture together with their beliefs and values. Relying on these two powerful factors of organizational development, an organization could open up its wings over mountains of prosperity. Recent studies along with many other historical ones have demonstrated that these two factors are among the main factors moving an organization forward. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between organizational culture and creativity in nurses working in Amir al-Momenin and Shahid Beheshti Hospitals of Maragheh. This descriptive correlation study was conducted in a statistical population covering all nurses working in these two hospitals from among which, according to Morgan table, a decent statistical sample were selected and the questionnaire was randomly distributed among them. The data for the study were collected through Denson’s standard organizational culture inventory and standard creativity questionnaire both of which were verified for their reliability and validity. The collected data were analyzed using regression test and the Pearson and Spearman coefficients. Results revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between organizational culture and its dimensions including commitment to cooperation, compatibility, assignments and conformity with creativity in nurses working in Amir al-Momenin and Shahid Beheshti hospitals of Maragheh.

This paper aims to critically analyze the implications of the new managerialism in the public service through ethical, democratic and professional values. It assumes the contradictions between the values that seek to promote the public service under the model of managerialism and the reality of its implementation. The method used is analytical-descriptive-normative from the critical perspective of the parallel developments of managerialism and public service. The theoretical and methodological framework that serves as a reference for this critical analysis is provided by the theories of organizational economics and public choice. The discussion concludes that there is a necessary conflict between ethical, democratic and professional values of these new organizational forms promoted by managerialism through the theories of economics and organizational public choice and traditional values of public service.
