Abstract: This qualitative study explores the pivotal role of organizational culture in promoting radiation safety within healthcare institutions. The research investigates how various aspects of organizational culture influence adherence to radiation safety protocols and the overall safety climate in radiology departments. Through semi-structured interviews with 50 healthcare professionals across 10 hospitals, this study identifies key cultural factors that contribute to a strong radiation safety environment. The findings suggest that leadership commitment, open communication, continuous learning, and a blame-free reporting system are crucial elements of a culture that effectively promotes radiation safety. The study provides insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers to enhance radiation safety practices through cultural interventions.
