Team Climate in Primary Health Care in a region of São Paulo countryside, Brazil

Background Interprofessional teams are responsible for Primary Care at Brazilian HealthCare System. Teamwork climate is considered a key for quality of healthcare services and care perceived; it results in perceptions about a team, considering aspects that influence their relationship and effectiveness. The study aims to analyse the teamwork climate of Primary Care workers. Methods Survey cross-sectional carried out in a region of São Paulo countryside with 419 Primary Care professionals from 60 teams of public health services. We collect data through the Team Climate Inventory with 38 items and 4 factors. We analysed the data using a psychometric, factorial confirmatory analysis. This research is part of the Universal CNPq Project, process 431461/20163, and all ethical concerns were observed. Results In the sample 47 (11.2%) were nurses, 143 (34.1%) community health workers, 87 (20.7%) nursing assistants and 27 (6.4%) physicians and 115 (27,6%) other health professionals. Cronbach was >0,90 in all factors of Team Climate Inventory and the correlation was confirmed with p < 0,05. In the factor 1 - Team Participation M = 3,79, DP = 0,66; factor 2 - Support to new ideas M = 3,66, DP = 0,68; factor 3 - Team objectives M = 5,04, DP = 0,98; factor 4 - Tasks orientation M = 4,92, DP = 1,30 with p-value 0,001 to all factors. Tukey's post hoc analysis indicated that the group with less than one year in the teams (M = 5.31) had a significantly higher average when compared to groups with 6 to 10 years in the team (M = 4.91) and 11 years old or more (M = 5.04). Conclusions Results showed a good team climate in the sample, the potential to strengthen the teams and the relevance of working time together to get better results for patient health care. The magnitude of the public health impact by reporting on the team climate indicators of the 60 Brazilian teams are local and international relevance. Key messages The time of work together in a team can be a predictor of clear objectives in teamwork. The team climate recognizing can promote reinforce of the teamwork and the results to Public Health. Policy makers and managers can apply these results to build workforce management actions.

Determinants of Team Climate and Team Trust on Team Performance-An Extensive Examination

Purpose: Team Climate is foreseen as a variable that enhances the organizations effectiveness, if the criterion has been satisfied under particular working conditions. It is said that team climate can be viewed under perceptions that are shared under a proximal working team. The study focuses on the conceptual framework of Team climate that enhances the organizations effectiveness what are the predictors to be thrown limelight to improve the same. Team climate and Leadership has been viewed as implicitly inter-related variables as a warm conducive work climate would lead to an effective leadership quality which also extensively affects the two prime attributes such as knowledge-sharing and innovative Work behavior of an employee. Design / Methodology/ Approach: The focus of this study is to assess the determinants of theTeam Climate on Work Teams. The data for the study was collected from the software developers from various IT organizations. The team climate inventory (TCI) used in the study also has to tested for its impact on the Work Teams. The sample data was obtained from five major IT organizations in Chennai and Bangalore region. Selected organizations mainly comprises of the Software Developer’s Team under the Self Managed Team base. The data used for the study is empirical though some of the base studies was found to contain information form appropriate sources. The basic tools used for analysing the data were IBM SPSS Statistics20 and multiple regressions were performed using AMOS Graphics for running the Structured Equation Modeling Technique (SEM). Scale development: The Team Climate Inventory(TCI) which uses the five point Agreement scale contains four dimensions namely Vision(12),Task Orientation(7), Support for Innovation (8) Participative Safety(7) which accounts to nearly 34 items. The scale was developed by Neil.R.Anderson and Michael A.West (1994). Findings and Implications: The research findings about the study done on the determinants of team climate shows that the factor loadings pertaining to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using AMOS Graphics (SEM) has been proved to be have a good impact and thereby it is to be implied that there prevails a conducive team climate in the organization which serves as a limelight for a best level of Knowledge sharing behaviour and Innovative work behaviour among employees in the organization. Conclusion: Thus it has been found from the research findings and observations that a good Team climate among the work teams would enhance the Team Trust as observed from the meta analytical studies, that in turn would boost the Knowledge sharing and the Innovative Work Behaviour amongst Teams to a greater appreciable level.
