AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to understand how organisational culture 
      influences the intentions of primary care staff members (PCSM) to engage in 
      research and development (R&D). DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The participants 
      (n=30) were PCSM employed in a care centre in south-western Sweden. The study had 
      an observational design with an ethnographic approach. The data were collected by 
      means of observations, interviews and analysis of documents. FINDINGS: The 
      results revealed the perceptions of PCSM in two domains, research and clinical 
      practice, both of which existed at three different cultural levels: visible 
      (structures and policy), semi-visible (norms and values) and invisible 
      (taken-for-granted attitudes). RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: It is difficult 
      to conduct a purely objective ethnographic study because the investigation is 
      controlled by its context. However, it is necessary to highlight and discuss the 
      invisible level to improve understanding of negative attitudes and preconceptions 
      related to the implementation of R&D in the clinical setting. PRACTICAL 
      IMPLICATIONS: By highlighting the invisible level of culture, the management of 
      an organisation has the opportunity to initiate discussion of issues related to 
      concealed norms and values as well as attitudes towards new thinking and change 
      in the primary health context. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This paper is one of the very 
      few studies to investigate the influence of organisational culture on the 
      intentions of PCSM to engage in R&D.
