| description |
This study is hoped to contribute to the whole process and understanding of
disasters that hospitals are called upon to manage. This area requires careful study
within the context of institutional theory and organisational learning capability in
assessing the factors contributing to hospital preparedness towards disasters as some
areas require clarification and further work. This study specifically examined the
institutional elements associated with hospital preparedness to manage disasters. The
explanatory variables are modelled from the institutional theory where the elements
are classified as coercive, mimetic, and normative pressure; and organisational
learning capability where the elements are classified as clarity of purpose and mission,
leadership commitment and empowerment, experimentation and rewards, transfer of
knowledge, and teamwork and group problem-solving. This study used a quantitative
approach with correlation research design to answer the research objectives, research
questions, and hypotheses stipulated in the study. A total of 100 government hospitals
in Malaysia were assessed to understand their level of disaster preparedness during the
event of a disaster. SmartPLS was then applied to assess the relationship between the
explanatory factors and hospital disaster preparedness. The findings reveal that
Malaysian public hospitals are in category B, which requires intervention measures for
hospitals to function during and after disasters. The findings also indicate that
institutional pressure and organisational learning capability influence hospital disaster
preparedness. |
