Investigating the Hospital Administration Skills and Leadership Styles
Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to explore the relationship between leadership styles, organizational effectiveness, managers skills in healthcare systems, and their impact on healthcare outcomes. A comprehensive review of literature was conducted, analyz-ing studies on transactional, transformational, and laissez-faire leadership styles, as well as their implications for organization-al dynamics and healthcare performance. Methodology: Methods involved systematic literature searches across academic databases, focusing on peer-reviewed articles, policy papers, and empirical studies. Results: Results from the literature review revealed diverse perspectives on the effectiveness of different leadership styles in healthcare settings. While some studies reported positive correlations between transformational leadership and organ-izational effectiveness, others showed mixed or insignificant findings. Additionally, the role of transactional leadership in incentivizing employee performance and its impact on organ-izational outcomes varied across studies. The discussion also highlighted the importance of leadership in public health and preventive medicine, emphasizing the need for effective lead-ership in shaping health policies and improving population health outcomes. Overall, the review underscores the complex interplay between leadership styles, organizational dynamics, and healthcare outcomes. While transformational leadership appears to hold promise in driving organizational change and fostering employee engagement, further research is needed to understand its nuanced effects across different healthcare con-texts. Conclusion: Conclusion highlights the critical role of lead-ership in driving organizational success, enhancing patient ex-periences, and improving healthcare outcomes. As healthcare systems continue to evolve, effective leadership remains essen-tial in navigating challenges, fostering innovation, and promot-ing patient-centered care.
