To determine staff attitudes and work culture in conventional radiology department and the effective utilization of available manpower and equipment.

A structured questionnaire composed of 16 dichotomous questions or closed ended type of question was prepared. Of these, 8 Questions were asked to all participants and remaining 8 Questions were directed specifically to the technical staff. The sample size of 80 was selected at random which included radiographers, nursing staff and doctors of Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences.

The study revealed that training is given to only new recruits. The work is not getting finished in time. Although the employees cooperate with each other, a majority of them are dissatisfied as neither on job training is given to them nor performance appraisal programs are conducted. There is also no proper checking of equipment before procedures. Staff is also not satisfied with the location of Department. Clinical staff gets corrected by technical staff.
