Healthcare
systems play an important role in addressing climate change through the
adoption of sustainable organisational practices. However, the successful
implementation of climate action initiatives often depends on internal
organisational factors such as institutional culture and employee engagement.
This study examined organizational culture as a predictor of climate action
implementation within NHS Trusts in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. A
quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed. Data were
collected from 200 healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, allied
health professionals, and administrative staff working in NHS Trusts.
Participants completed the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI)
and the Implementation Climate Scale (ICS) to assess perceptions of
organisational culture and the extent to which climate-related initiatives were
implemented within their institutions. Data were analysed using descriptive
statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis in
SPSS. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between
organizational culture and climate action implementation (r = .46, p <
.001). Regression analysis further indicated that organizational culture
significantly predicted climate action implementation, accounting for
approximately 21% of the variance in sustainability practices within NHS Trusts.
These findings suggest that supportive organisational cultures characterised by
collaboration, innovation, and leadership support may enhance the
implementation of sustainability initiatives within healthcare organisations.
The study highlights the importance of organisational and behavioural factors
in achieving the objectives of the NHS Net Zero strategy. Implications for
healthcare management, organisational development, and sustainability policy
within the NHS are discussed.
