Abstract
This study aims to determine the mediating role of organizational culture in the
relationship between organizational change and task performance of lean hospitals. Also, the
relationships among organizational change, organizational culture, and task performance variables
were aimed to be determined in the research. Three main hypotheses were determined based on the
research model. The structural equation model was performed to test hypotheses using the survey
data received from 300 employees of two lean hospitals operating in Turkey. In terms of the
relationship between organizational change and organizational culture, there is a positive
relationship between adhocracy-clan culture and institutional policy in change, outcomes of change,
and management style in change, while there is no significant relationship between resistance to
change and adhocracy-clan culture. In terms of the relationship between organizational culture and
task performance, there is a positive relationship between adhocracy-clan culture and task
performance, while there is no significant relationship between market and hierarchy cultures and
task performance. Adhocracy-clan culture has a mediating role in the significant relationship
between institutional policy and outcomes of change and task performance, while market and
hierarchy cultures not having a mediating role.As a result of the analysis, it has been revealed that
organizational culture has a partial mediating role in the causality relationship between
organizational change and job performance in lean hospitals.
