Abstract

OBJECTIVE- The purpose of this empirical study was to explore and determine the influence of leadership behaviors on the organisational change process in healthcare organisations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.METHODS- Primary data were collected from a sample of 272 employees in hospitals in the Al-Qassim region. The study used a self-administered questionnaire to examine the role of leadership behaviors (task-, relations-, and change-oriented leadership behaviors) on the organisational change process in healthcare organisations. Cross-sectional data were analyzed using SPSS.RESULTS- Positive and significant relations were found between leadership behaviors and the organisational change process contributed 54% of the variation in the dependent variable (R2 = 0.54).CONCLUSIONS- The findings of this research are highly significant, as they can give managers and organisational leaders a more profound insight into the behaviors and practices required to improve healthcare organisations’ performance during implementation of the change process.
