Introduction: This study discussed the impact of the social strategies of nurses as a solution that converts hospitals into corporate organizations and helps create and change management at hospitals. This research was done to evaluate the impact of social strategies of nurses on resistance and the impact of cultural dimensions on these tactics.
Methods: In this analytical study, simple random sampling was used and using Cochran, 82 of the nurses of internal, surgery, emergency, psychiatric, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) were selected from the social security hospital in Zahedan, in March 2016, and a survey questionnaire was completed by them. The study tools were a questionnaire designed by Jones (1986), Assessment of Organizational Socialization and Study Questionnaire of Dorfman and Howell (1988), which were used to measure cultural dimensions. The resistance to change questionnaire by Don Hamm et al. (1989) was also used to evaluate the reliability and validity. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation test and Friedman test using SPSS software and Smart PLS software were used, two-stage partial least squares method and structural equation model were used to analyze the assumptions, confirmatory factor analysis and Path analysis and GOF fitting indicators were used to evaluate the fit of the model.
Results: The results showed that weakness in the socialization strategies of the nurses could not play a useful role in nurse's resistance. This mediating role is missed completely in the relationship between culture dimensions and resistance to change (Rig = 0.147, Sig = 0.180). The analysis results indicate that culture dimensions have a significant positive effect on socialization tactics (Reg = 0.481, Sig = 0.000). These cultural dimensions have an effect on resistance to change (Reg = 0.454, Sig = 0.000). The results of the analysis of Friedman test show that among cultural dimensions, collectivism is the most evident among the nurses.
Conclusions: Officials should employ nurses with tactics of socialization to increase positive behavior in hospitals and reduce anti-organizational behavior.
