The relationship of mushroom management and collective justice in health institutions

Abstract

ABSTRACTAs in every sector, organizational management in the health sector plays an important role in the institution being successful and achieving its goals. Health care is a phenomenon that reminds individuals of the need for collective work. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the perceptions of mushroom management and collective justice in healthcare organizations. The sample for the study, using the relational survey model, consisted of 410 healthcare professionals. The “Mushroom Management Scale” and “Collective Justice Scale” were used to collect data. SEM path analysis revealed that there was a significant negative relationship between the mushroom management scale sub-dimensions and collective justice variable. In addition, a significant effect was found between these variables. Based on the demographic data of the participants, mushroom management sub-dimensions and collective justice perceptions of participants differed significantly according to the institution they worked in. It is thought that health institution managers who are transparent, honest and open, especially in information sharing, instead of using mushroom management style, who include employees in decision-making processes, and who adopt a more sharing management style will increase employees' trust in the organization and management as well as their perceptions of collective justice.KEYWORDS: Mushroom managementcollective justicehealth workerhealth managementknowledge sharing‌ Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsHatice DemirHatice Demir, Ordu University, Institute of Health Sciences, graduated with a master's degree in Health Management.Taşkın KiliçTaşkın Kiliç is a Professor and Distinguished Academician in the field of Health Management at Ordu University, Faculty of Health Sciences.
