Ahmet İlhan

Abstract
The organizational health approach comprises systematic processes developed for clearly specified goals, responsibilities, and evaluation stages in an organization’s operation, considering administrative functions at the organizational level. These processes act as feedback mechanisms to improve attitudes and opinions toward the culture and practices in an organization through organizational health dimensions, thus paving the way for a healthy organizational structure, which is crucial for organizations to survive and have a good position in their sector. This study investigates organizational health and its dimensions at the organizational level through an interview survey. Interview forms were given numbers, and interviews were conducted with 43 directors. The questions were qualitatively inclined; they were open-ended and were aimed at understanding the original variables. The views of directors were determined through 329 expressions including their comments. These expressions were grouped and analyzed extensively. The organizational health approach and its dimensions enable a healthy structure at the organizational level. Consequently, organizational health was determined to be a factor impacting the performance and activities of both employees and the organization.
