A hospital’s organizational culture has a significant influence on how nurses fulfill their duties, affecting their job satisfaction and overall performance. Establishing a robust organizational culture can enhance job satisfaction and organizational performance, ultimately reducing workplace violence. Moreover, creating a supportive safety climate is essential in preventing workplace violence, particularly for nurses who have frequent direct contact with patients. This research initiative aims to examine the intricate relationships between organizational culture, safety climate, the demographic profile of nurses, and the prevalence of workplace violence experienced by nurses as healthcare professionals in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The research methodology is quantitative, utilizing a cross-sectional study design. The target demographic consists of nurses working in hospital environments. The survey is structured to encompass 422 respondents, reflecting a substantial sample size for the study. The study findings reveal a significant correlation between organizational culture (P-value = 0.024) and an insignificant relationship between safety climate (P-value = 0.398) and workplace violence among nurses in Aceh Province. Additionally, it is essential to note that among the analyzed respondent characteristics, concerns about workplace violence actions (P-value= 0.018), workplace violence reporting procedures (P-value= 0.000), and area of work (P-value= 0.002) exhibited a significant correlation with the incidence of workplace violence in the nursing population at hospitals in Aceh. The discoveries outlined here offer crucial insights for nursing professional associations, aid hospital administrators, promote incident documentation, and enhance the availability of occupational health and safety education to mitigate and prevent workplace violence against healthcare personnel. © Mattioli 1885
