Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of innovative work behaviour between compensation system, training and development, information sharing, supervisory support, and job performance among physicians in Iraqi public hospitals. The researcher conducted the study via online questionnaire with a sample size of 173 physicians in Iraqi public hospitals. The data analysis was done via SPSS (or commonly known as Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), IBM SPSS Statistics 23 and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) (PLS). The data analysis meant to conduct demographic profile of respondents and mean of variables, factor analysis, reliability analysis to measure the repeatability of measuring instrument and regression analysis for hypothesis testing of independent and mediating variables. Results showed that training and development and supervisory support have a positive significant impact on physician’s innovative work behaviour. Compensation system and information sharing have a negative impact on physician’s innovative work behaviour. Innovative work behaviour mediates the relationship between training and development, supervisory support, and job performance. While compensation system and information sharing were not a significant mediating.
Highlights
The major focus of this study is on the job performance of physicians working in public hospitals in Iraq as well as the resulting impacts on them
The goal of the correlation research carried out to evaluate the hypotheses is to examine the corresponding influences of variables such as compensation systems, training and development, information sharing, supervisory support, and innovative work behaviour with respect to the job performance of physicians working in the public hospitals of Iraq
This study addresses low levels of job performance among physicians working in the public hospitals of Baghdad, Iraq through assessing the influence of compensation systems, training and development, information sharing, and supervisory support on job performance, with innovative work behaviour having a mediating role
Summary
The major focus of this study is on the job performance of physicians working in public hospitals in Iraq as well as the resulting impacts on them. The Iraqi healthcare sector is a subsection of its service sector, contributing to 9 percent of this country's GDP or, which is approximately 38.91 billion US dollars From this amount, the government of Iraq has dedicated 4.5 percent of the GDP to affairs regarding the healthcare sector (Central Statistical Organization, 2019). A number of these obstacles include namely limited entry to public hospitals, replication of related services, unsynchronized healthcare delivery, lack of commitment with respect to advancing satisfactory initiatives, inadequate management of information systems within public hospitals, and lack of accountability (World Health Organization, 2015). This has caused a large number of proficient health workers to immigrate to other nations. This country’s healthcare system is in need of realignment, according to the Iraqi development plans, with a fundamental emphasis on primary healthcare
