Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to determine whether innovative leadership, management capability and work engagement have an effect on hospital performance or not. Although there are configurations of various systems that address these concepts separately, few studies exist on their interaction with innovative leadership, management capability, work engagement, and hospital performance, particularly in healthcare. The universe of the research consists of health workers working in public and private health institutions in Gaziantep. Data were obtained from 281 healthcare workers by using the simple random sampling method, one of the random sampling methods, and the survey application. In the study, it was determined that innovative leadership and management capability had a positive effect on both work engagement and hospital performance. In addition, it has been observed that work engament has a positive effect on hospital performance. In the research, it has been determined that work engagement has a partial mediating role in the effect of innovative leadership and management capability on hospital performance. It can be effective in health care organisations performances, innovative leadership, management capability and work engagement. In the future, researchers should investigate whether other variables (for example organizational commitment, collective efficacy, participatory sense-making) have an effect on the factors used in this study. It is thought that this will contribute to the literature.
