Exploring the link between healthcare organizational culture and provider work satisfaction: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOrganizational culture and work satisfaction are fundamental domains important for a good working environment and are closely linked to employees' work performance and well-being in healthcare environments. Although organizational culture is critical, research on how and what domains affect work satisfaction in the healthcare sector remains scattered. By combining the literature, this review will offer significant insights into which factors significantly influence work satisfaction in the healthcare sector. It will also map the literature on this subject, identifying key patterns, gaps, and inconsistencies that can direct future research directions.
methodsOur review complied with the Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Statement's Preferred Reporting Items. This review used three databases for the literature search (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science). The literature search focused on more recent published studies between 2014 and 2024, and the search was conducted in November 2024. Two authors evaluated the bias of studies using a risk of bias template, a critical appraisal tool for use in JBI Systematic Reviews, to assess the risk of bias and the paper's quality. Studies were analyzed and compiled based on the classification of work satisfaction and the direction of the relationship.
resultsSix themes of value related to organizational culture were formulated among the included studies to synthesize their associations with work satisfaction. The themes tied to organizational culture were 1) continuous communication, 2) organizational leadership, 3) teamwork, 4) employee involvement in decision-making, 5) employee recognition, and 6) autonomy.
conclusionImplementing strategies tailored to each theme may increase work satisfaction, foster improved organizational performance, increase retention, and improve the quality of patient care. This may serve as a crucial element in forthcoming healthcare system reforms, aiming to harmonize the requirements of providers and recipients alike.
