Even more, some sought to establish the kind of environment that is significantly related to mental health outcomes of employees working in medical institutions. However, the various scholars resolved to use multiple approaches to establish quality assessments that were used to arrive at different conclusions. The majority of this literature holds that organizational climate could be associated with either positive or negative performance outcomes like depression, anxiety, productivity, and work burnout (Brimhall et al. Equally, some studies proved that employee relationship is also significant in explaining the employee's and the patient’s health.

The interactive implications of culture and leadership on an organization’s productivity is of significant concern to a majority of healthcare practitioners. Lack of attention towards employees is critical in healthcare institutions. Such adaptability is mostly triggered by the ability of top management department to coordinate activities within the specific organization. O’Reilly III Charles et al. (2014) argue that experienced senior managers are likely to develop a culture that emphasizes employee adaptability to the specific organization. On the contrary, top leaders who lack adequate expertise may promote undesirable work attitudes among subordinate staff. The visionary leader encourages cultures that align with organization's goals. (2014) studies indicate that an organization's culture acts as a social control mechanism, which can make it possible to develop strategic plans.

Collective goals can only be improved when employees can adapt to the specific environment that they encounter. Further, employees are supposed to be adequately oriented to fit into the organization's culture if they are to develop mutual goals.

Further studies have established the effects of work-life balance (WLB) on employee motivation in the mental health department. However, scholars like, Jarrod et al. (2013) conducted studies that sought to establish the connection between job and life satisfaction, anxiety, depression, and WLB. They argued that the five elements are moderated by multiple cultural approaches. The theories conceptualize WLB to be an individual's perception of the nature of the balance of his or her life roles Haar et al.

Intervention Mechanisms Senior leaders should be aware of the cultures of their organizations and if possible adjust their leadership styles to fit the requirements of the particular organizations. Arguably, it is easier to change long preserved leadership style than it is to improve the organization's culture (Landy, & Conte, 2016). (2016) highlight that, ambiguous tasks may strain employees, thereby subjecting them to doing shoddy work.
