This study aimed to examine the relationship between managers’ leadership style and organizational structure as well as culture in Qazvin hospitals, Qazvin, Iran.

The questionnaires were distributed among hospital employees and managers using stratified random issues such as informed consent, sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Ethical confidentiality of information and researchers’ objectivity were all considered.
Results: Qazvin hospitals mainly had a mechanic and bureaucratic structure. The hospitals also revealed to have a moderate organizational culture.
