The result reveals that organizational culture does not influence employee loyalty directly. This can be explained due the organizational culture that was developed by private hospital in Denpasar tends to be external focus. This external focus culture is adaptive and flexible to consumer needs that are supported by clear vision and objectives. Therefore, this organizational culture cannot directly influence employee loyalty as internal stakeholders, unless there are other factors that facilitate organizational culture through complete mediation, they are spiritual leadership and human capital.
