The Effect of Public Sector Corporate Entrepreneurship on Organisational Performance in the Health Sector: A Case of Selected Public Hospitals in Lusaka, Zambia
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
This study was conducted in the City of Lusaka in Zambia at eight public hospitals using a quantitative research design with a post-positivism perspective that employed self-administered closed ended questionnaires for data collecting. The study aims at examining the effect of public sector corporate entrepreneurship dimensions on the performance of the public health sub-sector using the following dimensions that affect organisational performance (1) pro-activeness (2) risk-taking and (3) innovations. In addition, many internal organisational factors moderate the relationship between public sector corporate entrepreneurship dimensions and organisational performance. This study examines three factors: (1) resource availability, (2) supportive organisational structure, (3) rewards/resource reinforcement. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to test these relationships. The findings of this study reveal that the dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship-innovation, pro-activeness and risk taking have a positive impact on the performance of the public health sub-sector and that this relationship is moderated by internal organisational factors of resource availability, supportive organisational structure and rewards/resource reinforcement.
