Evaluating the moderating role of management inspection between safety hazards in hospital working conditions: A study of hospitals in Islamabad

Abstract

The study identifies the relationship between safety hazards and hospitals working conditions. The management inspection role supported by the management in hospitals is identified to bring safety measures precautions and effectiveness for the healthcare staff and make the hospital working conditions better. The hospital management inspection role helps to accomplish occupational safety and better working conditions. The objective of this study is to identify the relationship of management inspection role in tackling with the safety hazards to find out working conditions in Al-Shifa International hospital and Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences hospital. The study used various statistical tests like Pearson’s correlation and KMOs Bartlet’s test to evaluate the predictors of safety barriers, working conditions and management inspection role. Data was gathered using research questionnaire and the response rate was 73%. Among the 500 respondents, 75% were males while 25%were females. The age range was 40 or above years with a mean of 2.5. The reliability analysis for the constructs is in the acceptable range. The management lacking in providing the safety information rated as 0.61 correlation matrix. The medical doctors’ responded noise as the most detrimental factor resulted with 0.70 communality and lack of health facility comes as 0.61. The structure matrix shows biological hazards rated as 0.66 and physical explosion hazards rated as 0.70 which is analyzed through KMO Bartlet’s test. The safety hazards existence in the hospitals calls upon the attention on conducting research on inspection, detection and reporting of the hazards.
