The Effects of Organizational Learning Capacity on Innovative Performance of Healthcare Organizations

This research examines the role of organizational learning capacity in enhancing innovative performance in healthcare. Innovative performance in the health sector is critical for improving service quality, patient satisfaction and cost-effectiveness. The research was conducted with the data obtained from 15 participants from each of 100 health institutions, including hospitals, health centers, family health centers, private health clinics and other health service providers. The findings revealed that system orientation and knowledge acquisition and utilization have a strong, positive and statistically significant impact on innovative performance. These results emphasize the importance of fostering learning capacity as a strategic approach to improve innovative performance in healthcare. However, the study also found that learning orientation and knowledge sharing and dissemination orientation did not have statistically significant effects on innovative performance. The model explains 25% of the variance in innovative performance, indicating a moderate explanatory power, and the overall model is statistically significant. While this study addresses the relationship between organizational learning capacity and innovative performance in healthcare, future research is recommended to examine the impact of other factors such as leadership, organizational culture and employee motivation and to conduct comparative studies across different countries and healthcare organizations. Such studies will contribute to the development of more comprehensive strategies for enhancing innovative performance in healthcare.
