The Organizational Practices, Partnership Initiatives, and Social Responsibility as the Main Attributes for a Sustainable Hospital in the UAE
A sustainable hospital is dedicated to long-term environmental, economic, and social responsibility, ensuring that healthcare services are provided in a way that meets present needs while safeguarding the resources and well-being of future generations.According to Rakaj (2023), organizational practices that effectively optimize operations and resource utilization, while staying true to an organization's core values, beliefs, and behaviors, have evolved beyond being buzzwords to become powerful catalysts for improving organizational performance.These practices are not only pivotal in enhancing hospital efficiency but also in fostering a culture that prioritizes sustainability across all levels of operation, from energy conservation to social and community impact, ensuring hospitals contribute positively to both public health and the environment.In this context, this study looked into the constructs of the organizational practices, partnership initiatives, and social responsibility.This stems from the growing global demand for environmentally and socially responsible healthcare systems, and the urgent need to integrate sustainability into hospital operations.This research contributes valuable insights by highlighting practical strategies that healthcare institutions can adopt to enhance sustainability.It also serves as a guide for hospital leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders in creating healthcare environments that not only meet present needs but also ensure long-term community and environmental well-being.In addition this offers further motivation to healthcare practitioners and potential investors by demonstrating the strategic value of sustainability-oriented practices in healthcare settings.This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to describe the level and correlate the said variables of the study.A sample size of 30 respondents was selected through random sampling from 30 selected supply chain procurement in hospitals in the UAE.A survey instrument that was modified and adopted from prior studies was employed after
