Healthcare Innovation (HCI), Dynamic Innovation Capabilities (DIC), Organizational Agility (OA)Abstract
Despite the fact that the public healthcare sector has improved significantly, inefficiency persists, and little progress has been made in learning how to solve inefficiencies. Consequently, one of the most important concepts that affect the organizational agility and performance in healthcare are dynamic innovation capabilities. This study aims to investigate the impact of dynamic innovation capabilities on agility and performance in public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The researcher utilized a dynamic capabilities theory to describe how four important contextual characteristics (sensing capabilities, combination capabilities, networking capabilities and learning capabilities) may affect the agility of healthcare organizations. The population sample for this research included 151 leaders and managers of public hospitals. After responding to the questionnaire, the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The data collection process involved exploring the independent variables dynamic innovation capabilities that are expected to influence the dependent variable of organizational agility and performance in the public hospitals. The major results of the research showed that there is a positive relationship between the independent variables of the dynamic innovation capabilities and the dependent variables of organizational agility and organizational performance.
Keywords: Healthcare Innovation (HCI), Dynamic Innovation Capabilities (DIC), Organizational Agility (OA).
