Abstract

Greek public hospitals (GPHs) are adopting the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) in 2025. The paper explores the impact of the level of organisational readiness, the perceived value, as well as two factors shaping organisation culture according to Goffee and Jones, namely sociability and solidarity, on the convenience of IPSAS implementation. Questionnaire responses were received by 143 sampling units, in a population of 375 administrative executives for a total of 125 GPHs. A five-factor structural equation model was used to assess the relation of readiness, perceived value, sociability, and solidarity to the convenience of implementation. The interdependence of the level of readiness, the perceived value, and solidarity relations with the ease of implementation of IPSAS was found to be important, while sociability had no strong connections.
