Organizational culture of a psychiatric hospital and resilience of nursing workers.

OBJECTIVE:: to analyze the organizational culture of a psychiatric hospital and identify the capacity of resilience of nursing workers.

METHOD:: quantitative research. For data collection, were used the Brazilian Instrument for Evaluation of Organizational Culture (IBACO - Instrumento Brasileiro para Avaliação da Cultura Organizacional) and the Resilience Scale (RS).

RESULTS:: participants reported the existence of centralization of power and devaluation of workers, despite recognizing the existence of collaboration at work and practices for improving interpersonal relations. In relation to the capacity of resilience, 50% of workers showed high level, and 42.9% a medium level of resilience. The correlation tests revealed negative values between the IBACO and RS domains, indicating that the lower the appreciation of individuals in the institution, the greater their capacity of resilience.

CONCLUSION:: the organizational values reflect the work organization model in the institution that devalues the workers' needs and requires greater capacity of resilience.
