摘要
Directors' and treatment staff's perceptions of organizational functioning within substance abuse treatment facilities in four provinces in South Africa were examined via the Texas Christian University's Organizational Readiness for Change instrument. Forty-four treatment facilities (out of 89) participated in the study. Results indicated that directors and staff displayed favorable perceptions with regard to organizational climate and staff attributes, and were indecisive about the motivation for change domain. Certain demographic factors were associated with both directors' and staff perceptions towards the organizational functioning of treatment facilities.
