Title: Safety climate in health care organizations : a multidimensional approach / Tal Katz-Navon, Eitan Naveh and Zvi SternAuthor: Katz-Navon, Tal
Notes: The aim of this study is to apply a multidimensional approach to safety climate to understand the safety performance of health care organizations, as expressed in the occurrence of treatment errors.This study explored four dimensions of safety climate and the interactions among them as predictors of those errors.Results of this study demonstrated a curvilinear relationship between the levels of the perceived detailing of safety procedures and the number of treatment errors. Also the perceived priority of safety moderated the curvilinear relationship between safety procedures and treatment errors as well as the relationship beteween the way employees interpreted their managers' safety practices and treatment errors.
