Abstract

Background: One of the success codes of today's organizations is productivity that has a wide range of dimensions and levels. This study was conducted to investigate the empowerment factors in increasing the productivity of employees of the Vali-e-Asr Hospital Kazeroun during 2018. Method: This qualitative study was conducted in Hazrat-e-Valiasr Hospitals of Kazeroun and the population consisted of head of hospital, internal director, nursing director, supervisors, and head nurses. 17participants were selected using non-probability purposive sampling and known cases. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews which were recorded, transcribed and analysed after informed consent was obtained. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The findings lead to the extraction of four main categories including individual factors (mental, intellectual, and personality development of employees, promotion of individual health of employees, etc.), motivational factors (job creation, job satisfaction, etc.), educational factors (Holding retraining and training courses for employees, employing people in different positions corresponding to the level of knowledge, awareness and education) and organizational culture (improving communication at all levels of the hospital, creating a sense of commitment, etc.). Conclusion: The individual, motivational, educational and organizational factors of the four main identified categories were effective in promoting employee productivity. It is recommended that micro-level hospital administrators and health care providers at a macro level look deeper and more systematic and, based on the identified undergraduate programs, include in-class programs with successful implementation.
