ABSTRACT
Background:
The work environment of an organization has to do with a set of permanent qualities that are experienced by its members.Aim:
To assess the work environment perception of faculty members of a Medical School in two different periods (2005 and 2007). Material andmethods:
A standardized survey was applied to faculty members and Department chairs of the academic units of our Medical School. The survey used the Likert scale from 1 to 5 and included 59 items, distributed in 8 factors. Additionally, there were two groups of statements, indicating the priorities for the School and for the academic departments.Results:
In the study performed in year 2005, the survey was answered by a total of 399 faculty members (68 percent) and in year 2007, it was answered by 408 members (68 percent). The global climate perceptions were 66 percent and 68 percent in 2005 and 2007, respectively (ns). Among the dimensions evaluated, communications (p =0,62) and physical conditions (p =0,008) improved in the two years period.Conclusions:
The applied instrument was stable and useful to knowing the requirements of the faculty members and for improving the organizational climate.
