| dc.description.abstract | Strategy implementation is vital for organisational success. In practice however,
achieving this within an organisation is not obvious. Studies have been undertaken
globally, regionally, and locally on strategy implementation aimed at the achievement
of desired performance of public hospitals though none exist for the public hospitals in
Montserrado County in Liberia. The general objective of this study was to determine
how strategic implementation affect the performance of public hospitals. This study’s
main aim was to evaluate how strategic implementation affected the performance of
public hospitals, specifically John Fitzgerald Kennedy Medical Centre (JFKMC),
Liberia. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the influence of
organisation culture; establish the influence of resource allocation; examine the
influence of organisation structure; and assess the influence of strategic communication
on the performance of public hospitals in Montserrado County, focussing on JFKMC
in Liberia. The study was anchored by the resource-based view and the dynamic
capabilities view theories. The study applied the case study approach and was done in
Montserrado County, Liberia, at JFKMC. The target population comprised 214
employees of JFKMC. The census approach was employed and therefore the entire
population was entered into the study. Responses were sought through the utilisation of
questionnaires. Data was analysed using the descriptive and inferential methods. The
means standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
regression analysis were undertaken The study found that organization culture had a
positive and significant effect on public hospital performance, with a coefficient of
(0.395), p = 0.000 < 0.05, allocation of resources positively affected hospital
performance (0.673), p = 0.000. Also, the results revealed that organisational structure
had a positive coefficient (0.744) means that an improved organisational structure
significantly enhances public hospital performance. Strategic communication
positively impacted public hospital performance with a coefficient (0.230. The study
concluded that efficient resource allocation and a strong organisational structure are
crucial for enhancing public hospital performance. It further recommends that to enable
a supportive organisational structure, there should be a clear and efficient hospital
hierarchy that promotes accountability, enhances workflow, and ensures seamless
coordination between departments to improve overall hospital performance. Another
recommendation is the need to implement a data-driven resource allocation system to
prioritise funding, staffing, and medical supplies based on patient needs, ensuring
efficiency and minimising resource wastage. To cultivate a positive culture, hospitals
should encourage collaboration and teamwork among staff to create a supportive work
environment. | en_US |
