Abstract

The study aimed to detect the relationship between the implementation of hospital privatization in Saudi Arabia and healthcare workers' perceptions regarding work conditions, the level of participation in decision-making, and the relationship between the privatized organization and the HRSD Ministry. The data was collected from 100 healthcare workers in various hospitals across Saudi Arabia. More than half of the healthcare workers believed privatizing the healthcare sector would hurt employment security and increase the workload and hours worked per week, whether the employees have permanent or temporary contracts.However, the workers have a positive perception of work conditions related to progression, teamwork support, the level of training, incentives, and other benefits. The employees also positively perceive the level of participation in decision-making, including training requirements and how assigned tasks are completed. Healthcare workers with fewer years of experience are more optimistic about privatization. Moreover, although the regulations left the authority to determine the appropriate privatization strategy for each governmental organization based on their specific needs and objectives, employees positively perceive the relationship between the privatized organization and the HRSD Ministry.

私有化的不确定性会影响员工的看法吗?来自沙特阿拉伯医疗行业的证据
本研究旨在探讨沙特阿拉伯实施医院私有化与医护人员对工作条件、参与决策程度以及私有化组织与人力资源和社会发展部之间关系的看法之间的关系。数据收集自沙特阿拉伯各地不同医院的 100 名医护人员。无论员工签订的是长期合同还是临时合同,半数以上的医护人员都认为医疗行业私有化会损害就业安全,增加工作量和每周工作时间。不过,员工对工作条件的看法是积极的,包括工作进展、团队合作支持、培训水平、奖励和其他福利。员工对参与决策的程度,包括培训要求和分配任务的完成情况也持积极态度。工作年限较短的医护人员对私有化持更乐观的态度。此外,尽管规定由主管部门根据各政府组织的具体需求和目标来确定适当的私有化战 略,但员工对私有化组织与人力资源和社会发展部之间的关系持积极看法。
