Abstract

Background and Objectives: The increasing complexity of the society and the dependence of society on information has raised the concept of information as a commodity more than ever as the strategic information source of the business (Love, 1993); and the key to its continuity. Today, information is a vital source for many macroeconomic and national economies and is the fourth most important source of production that organizations and advanced countries invest more to provide the right information to help make quality decisions and thus influence Sales and final performance of them. For this reason, sometimes they have compared information to blood in the organs of the organization, which is considered vital (Van Solms and Van Solms, 2004). From Choo's point of view (2002), an organization uses information for three primary purposes: creating an identity and a common content for action and reaction, developing the knowledge and new capabilities, and taking decisions that guarantee the capabilities and resources. Because the value of information is a relative attribute, it depends on the conditions that an organization must create for its reveal, which is presented at the macro level in the form of an organizational culture and at a more specialized level, called Organizational information culture. The results of previous studies have shown that there is a relationship between information culture, company life cycle and profit and use of information, and a highly advanced information culture is positively associated with organizational work practices and leads to successful business performance. Hence, addressing the condition of information culture and examining its relationship with the results of information leads to the targeting of the organization's information behavior and its optimal use and necessity. Considering the heavy mission and volume of extensive information transaction that the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences has like every major organization. The purpose of this study was to determine the status of the dimensions of Organizational information culture, the use of experts from information outcomes, and the impact of information culture on the use of information by experts. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted with analytical survey method. Samples of 254 experts were selected by random sampling method from 750 individuals. A questionnaire consisting of formal and permanent validity (α = 0. 82) was used for collecting data. Findings: The results showed that information integrity dimensions (Mean= 13. 09), information transparency (Mean= 10. 72), information sharing (Mean= 18. 77), professional activity of information (Mean= 12. 21), informal information (Mean= 55/8) and information control (Mean= 94/17), is at the relatively favorable level. Meanwhile, information integrity, information transparency, information sharing and information control affect the use of experts, but the informal information does not affect it. The Organizational information culture is the beliefs, norms and values of information observation, which their attention in the organization can affect the organizational information-based decisions and influence the use of information. Discussion: According to the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the availability, integrating and sharing information in the organization can facilitate the use of information. Transparency of information by managers and authorities can facilitate the use of information in the organization. Sharing information can facilitate the use of information in the organization. The sharing of information saves the organization from error testing and replication of experiences that entails huge expense, and accelerates decision-making and the timely and correct use of opportunities. Professional information activities can facilitate the use of information in the organization. The professional information activity in the organization may be influenced by some factors such as the information environment, the flow of information, the channels of information distribution, and so on. Meanwhile, the results showed an inverse relationship between the two informal components of information and the use of Information results. In other words, informal information can be used as an obstacle to the use of information in the organization. The coherent relationship between the two components of Organizational information culture and the use of information outcomes showed that the information culture of the organization is a predictor of the use of experts from information. Managers of the organization, by providing conditions for the distribution and dissemination of information, inform employees of their own functions of information intelligence. To improve the quality of the use of information, work towards clarifying the information in the organization. Think about ways to exchange and share the information inside and outside the organization and to strengthen and trust the information infrastructure.
