Abstract

This study is a cross-sectional research aimed at determining the relationship between transformational
leadership characteristics and organizational culture among healthcare personnel working in a public
hospital in Ankara. The study population consists of healthcare personnel employed at a public hospital
in Ankara. Data for the study were collected through a survey method. The data collection tools used
in the research consist of three sections. The first section of the survey form is a personal information
form, which includes questions aimed at identifying the socio-demographic characteristics of healthcare
professionals working in the public hospital. The study utilized the Transformational Leadership Scale
(TLS) developed by Avolio and Bass (2004), which was adapted into Turkish by Koç (2020) for analysis
on healthcare workers. Another scale employed in the study is the Organizational Culture Scale (OCS),
developed by Denison (1990) and adapted into Turkish by Yahyagil (2004), which was also applied
to the healthcare worker population. According to the correlation analysis results, a strong, positive,
and significant relationship was found between the sub-dimensions of the scales. Evaluations of the
sub-dimensions of Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture revealed that both scales
influence each other, and increased awareness in one scale also motivates the other.
