Organizational culture and African American nurse faculty productivity: a comparative study

The primary purposes of this study were: (a) to examine the relationships among factors associated with organizational culture and the scholarly productivity of African American women nurse faculty teaching at historically black (HBCUs) and predominantly white colleges and universities (PWCUs) and, (b) to compare the differences in African American women nurse faculty productivity at HBCUs and PWCUs. Data were collected using a two-part survey, mailed to the campus addresses of 467 African American nurse faculty. A 31.5% response rate (N = 147) was achieved. A variety of scales using multiple statistical techniques were employed to analyze the data sets.
