Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the influence of organisational culture on the
work life balance of healthcare professionals at Tema General Hospital in Tema,
Ghana. There were four main objectives, among them were to investigate the
influence of organisational culture on flexible working arrangement; organisational
culture on leave arrangement; organisational culture on dependent care assistant;
and organisational culture on wellness and personal development. The study was
based on the views of 126 healthcare professional staff from the study unit. It was
a quantitative study with self-administered questionnaire as the main research
instrument. The results from the survey were analysed with the help of the
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v26.0) and the Smart PLS 3 (v
3.3.8) software. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was the main multivariate
statistical analysis technique used in the study. The independent constructs were:
clan, adhocracy, hierarchical and market cultures. The dependent constructs were:
Flexible Working Arrangements; Leave Arrangements, Dependent Care Assistant
and Wellness and Personal Development. In a nutshell, the study results indicated
that all the independent constructs had influence on the Work Life Balance
healthcare professionals. However, the nature of the influence depended on the
Work Life Balance policy adapted by management. The study therefore
recommended that, management of the healthcare center must create a favorable
condition for healthcare professionals in relation to the right work life balance
policies and as to which organisational culture dimension would best address
certain negative influences on employee performance and dissatisfaction
