Therefore, it is necessary to develop a systematic approach to evaluate their efficiency and management system.  Balanced scorecard can play a role in this field as an evaluation system by examining the cause-and-effect relationship of goals and drawing a strategy map.  Therefore, the purpose of this research was to develop a strategy map for healthcare centers with a balanced scorecard approach. \u0000Methods: This was a qualitative and applied research conducted using mixed methods in 2019. The statistical population of the research included all health experts from medical sciences universities across the country, 15 of whom were selected based on a targeted snowball sampling. First, through the review of texts and articles related to the literature on the subject with a general search in foreign and domestic electronic databases, a list of balanced scorecard views and the goals related to health and treatment centers of comprehensive health service centers was identified. After that, through a researcher-made questionnaire, by asking experts their opinions using fuzzy Delphi method in 2 steps, the views and goals related to comprehensive health service centers were identified. Then, through the relationships of improved network analysis process technique based on DEMETEL, in 4 steps by Excel 2016 and Matlab 2014 software, the relationships between them were examined. Finally, the effect of goals and views on each other was determined, and a strategy map was drawn. \u0000Results: In this research, social responsibility, as a new perspective and the attitudes of patients and society, financial status and performance improvement, growth and development, and internal processes, replaced the main perspectives of the balanced scorecard, and social responsibility was designated as a new perspective. By examining the relationship between them, the perspectives of growth and development, intra-organizational processes, social responsibility, and other views were found to be effective. \u0000Conclusion: Considering the complexity of the activities regarding comprehensive health service centers, replacing the views appropriate to the comprehensive health service centers with the main views provided by Kaplan and Norton (2004) can obtain the best results regarding the goals and strategy. Based on the cause-effect relationship of views, strengthening views and effective goals creates value for effective goals. Investing on influential views and goals will empower and promote the development of balance between income and expense, and the optimal use of resources will improve the views of society and patients and the quality of services, which is the main goal of comprehensive health service centers.","PeriodicalId":324632,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Management Strategies in Health System","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129356730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Effect of Impostor Syndrome on Job Involvement with Mediating Role of Structural Empowerment regarding the Employees of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences","authors":"Farshid Aslani, Mohamad Mehtari, Nahid Rafiyan","doi":"10.18502/mshsj.v8i1.12891","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18502/mshsj.v8i1.12891","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Empowerment allows health managers to make a conscious choice to improve the quality of care. On the other hand, one of the factors that may affect psychological aspects of employees and decrease job participation of employees is imposter syndrome. The main goal of this research was to determine the effect of imposter syndrome on job involvement with the mediating role of structural empowerment of employees. \u0000Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study conducted cross-sectionally in 2021. The statistical population of the present study included all employees (1300) working in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The sample size was estimated to be 297 people through Cochran method and stratified random sampling method. Data collection tools included the standard imposter questionnaires of Klans and Ames (1987), Shafli et al.'s job involvement questionnaire (2006), and Maleki et al.'s structural empowerment questionnaire (2012). Face validity was confirmed by professors and experts, convergent validity with a mean variance of greater than 0.5, and divergent validity was confirmed using Fornell and Larker methods. Also, the reliability of the instrument was confirmed with the Cronbach's alpha of greater than 0.7. Data analysis was done with descriptive and inferential statistical tests using structural equation method and SPSS 22 and PLS 3 statistical software. \u0000Results: Based on the analysis of research variables, imposter syndrome had a negative and significant effect (P < 0.001) on job involvement and structural empowerment of employees with path coefficients of - 0.349 and - 0.856, respectively. There was a positive and significant correlation (P < 0.001) between structural empowerment of employees' job involvement and a path coefficient of 0.452. Finally, self-destructive syndrome with the mediating role of structural empowerment had a significant and negative effect (P < 0.001) on job involvement of employees with a path coefficient of - 0.386. \u0000Conclusion: Structural empowerment is associated with higher work efficiency and engagement among employees. Accordingly, structural empowerment may increase work engagement by stimulating employees' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. But the presence of employees with imposter syndrome leads to the opposite effect.","PeriodicalId":324632,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Management Strategies in Health System","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127523263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key issue in a supply chain is the coordinated management and control of all these activities, which is achieved through proper integration of the supply chain. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of internal and external integration on the performance of hospital with the mediating role of added value of the supply chain in Hazrat Valiasr Bafaq Hospital. \u0000Methods: The current cross-sectional research was conducted with the structural equation approach in 1400. The statistical population included all the employees (250 people) of Hazrat Waliasr Bafaq Hospital, 163 of whom were randomly selected based on Cochran's formula. Data collection tools included value added questionnaires of supply chain, internal integration, external integration and performance. The validity of the instruments was investigated and confirmed using convergent and divergent validity, and reliability was studied using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The structural equations model and SPSS 24 and LISREL 8 software were used to analyze the data. \u0000Results: Findings showed that internal integration with a significant value of 1/925 and path coefficient = 0/177 does not affect performance, and external integration with a significant value of 5/670 and path coefficient = 0/446 had a positive and significant effect on performance. Moreover, internal integration with a significant value of 2/281 and path coefficient = 0/265, and external integration with a significant value of 5/586 and path coefficient = 0/495 had a significant positive effect on the added value of the supply chain. The added value of the supply chain had a positive and significant effect on performance with a significant value of 2/315 and path coefficient = 0/231. In addition, the added value of the supply chain explains the mediating role between integration and performance. The quality of the final model of the research had a good fit with the overall model fit index (0.38). \u0000Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that External integration has a significant effect on both the performance and supply chain value addition. But internal integration only affects supply chain value addition. It was also found that interdepartmental coordination is one of the important parameters for improving hospital performance. According to the results of this research, it is suggested that all the internal activities of the hospital be carried out based on a written program. Moreover, a special focus on the added value of the supply chain should be included as one of the hospital's strategies.","PeriodicalId":324632,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Management Strategies in Health System","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130693846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social support means being accepted by society and appreciating the employees' services by people, which can be effective in reducing job stress and tensions and improving employees' motivation. Occupational stress is a phenomenon in which employees are caught when facing expectations beyond their known capacity. It manifests itself in the form of physiological, psychological and behavioral effects. The aim of this article is to examine the effect of social support on the motivation of health sector employees with the mediating role of job stress in the health and treatment sector of Yazd. \u0000Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on the employees of the health and treatment in Yazd in 2021. Using Cronbach's alpha formula, 346 employees were selected by simple random method. The required data were collected by 3 standard questionnaires: Haynes et al, Perry and Karnavaq et al. The convergent, divergent, and content validity and the composite reliability coefficient of the questionnaire were confirmed by the opinion of management professors and experts of Yazd health and treatment department. Using Cronbach's alpha test, its internal consistency was confirmed. In order to analyze data, descriptive statistics and structural equation model and SPSS 20 and AMOS 18 software were used. \u0000Results: 3 research hypotheses were confirmed through the path test and structural equation model. The findings showed that social support with the critical value of (3.163) and path coefficient of (0.85) had a positive and significant effect on employees' motivation (P = 0.002). Social support had a negative and significant effect (P = 0/042) on job stress with the critical value of (- 2.996) and path coefficient of (- 0.17). Job stress also had a negative and significant effect (P = 0.001) on employees' motivation with a critical value of (- 2.308) and the path coefficient of (- 0.28). Finally, job stress played a mediating role regarding the test statistic (2.12) in the path of these 2 variables. \u0000Conclusion:  As the coverage of social support increases, mental health and occupational motivation of each individual improve, and finally, stress-related factors will be reduced.","PeriodicalId":324632,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Management Strategies in Health System","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130060671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
