Abstract
In the last 30 years there has been a focus on organisational culture as a possible malleable factor to address organisational performance [13]. It has been suggested that organisational culture in mental health services influence work attitudes, staff retention and work performance [14]. In addition, organisational culture has been shown to influence the implementation of EBP in mental health services [15]. Despite this interest in organisational culture, there seems to be little evidence of an effective strategy to improve organisational culture [2]. The present study sought to examine changes in staff perceptions of organisational culture assessed at yearly intervals over a 3 year period in two public mental health services in Brisbane, Australia: Metro South Mental Health Service and Metro North Mental Health Service.
