- Abstract
The study analyzes the work culture of Civil Hospital of Gandhinagar using OCTAPACE profile, and it shows how much each ethos is valued and believed which indicates culture of an organization. The uniqueness of the hospital is that the working environment is unpleasant and the client system that one deals with is sick (unhealthy). This makes the working environment difficult and demanding for an individual. A sample of 87 staff members, including doctors and nurses, was taken and a survey was done using judgmental sampling. For the study, OCTAPACE profile is used as an instrument to collect the data which shows the organization's ethos in eight values. Those eight values are: Openness, Confrontation, Trust, Authenticity, Proaction, Autonomy, Collaboration and Experimentation. The major findings arrived at using statistical methods, confirmed that autonomy and authenticity are valued less compared to other ethos such as collaboration and trust which are highly valued among the employees in Civil Hospital, Gandhinagar. From the correlation analysis, it is observed that the highest positive correlation is between confrontation and trust, and the highest negative correlation is between collaboration and confrontation.
