Abstract
PurposeThis study develops a model for understanding the relationships and interactions between the antecedents influencing inter-organisational collaboration in the healthcare sector.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive and systematized search was conducted on Scopus to identify all relevant studies investigating the antecedents of inter-organisational collaboration in the healthcare sector. Antecedents were identified based on insights from experts and a systematised search method. A modified total interpretive structural model (m-TISM) was used to determine the hierarchical relationships between the identified antecedents. Finally, the Matrice d’Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement (MICMAC) analysis was employed to categorise the identified antecedents into clusters based on their driving or dependence influence.FindingsEight antecedents of inter-organisational collaboration in the healthcare sector were identified. The results revealed that having a shared vision and goals, digital infrastructure and proximity are the most crucial antecedents of inter-organisational collaboration in healthcare, along with leadership, shared resources and communication.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research on inter-organisational collaboration in the healthcare sector can include additional factors that may influence collaboration beyond those currently studied. Structural equation modelling can be employed to validate the proposed model.Originality/valueThe study proposes a hierarchical model for inter-organisational collaboration in the healthcare sector. The framework will help healthcare executives and academicians identify key antecedents that are most critical to enabling effective collaboration.
