Abstract

Health services in Australia and elsewhere are under constant pressure to increase throughput and improve efficiencies, particularly in surgical intervention. This paper addresses how Social Capital can offer a new perspective to management of change and innovativeness in a dynamic and socially complex environment such as operating theatre suites. Using a qualitative approach, social capital and organisational climate for innovativeness are explored in three different sized operating theatre suites in NSW, Australia. Findings indicate that social capital and organisational climate should not be managed in isolation and that managers need to consider how they might manage social capital when facilitating innovativeness.
