학습조직이 인지된 병원성과에 미치는 영향과 일터학습의 매개효과

This study seeks to examine the effect of learning organization on perceived hospital performance and to investigate mediating effect of workplace learning on the relationship between learning organization and perceived hospital performance. Learning organization was measured by two dimensions of system connection and continuous learning refered from Watkins & Marsick(1993). Workplace learning was measured by two types of formal and informal learning developed by Choi & Jacobs(2011) and perceived hospital performance was two perspectives of balanced scorecard(Kaplan & Norton, 1996). A literature review on learning organization and workplace learning was built up to develop main effect and mediating effect hypotheses. A set of sample included 181 employees from 8 hospitals. The results showed that learning organization has impact on perceived hospital performance. That is, learning organization has positive impact on both financial performance and customer performance. As hospitals connect with external systems and establish learning systems, hospitals are likely to have better financial performances such as revenues and sales increase also customer such as patients and their family are more satisfied with services provided by establish stronger learning organization systems. In terms of mediating effects, it was revealed that informal learning mediates the relationship between learning organization and customer perspective of perceived hospital performance. Although learning organization directly influences perceived hospital performance, it also causes informal learning. Learning organization encourages employees, who work at hospital, to continuously spend their time in collaborating with others and reflecting themselves. Through these learning activities learning organization contributes hospital performance.
