Abstract

Purpose Strategic orientation is one of the critical principles affecting the marketing and strategy selection of an organization’s activities, reflecting the strategic tendencies implemented by the organization to create behaviours, leading to organizational efficiency and better employee performance. Therefore, this paper aims to study the relationship between strategic orientation and performance in Qazvin teaching hospitals through green supply chain management (SCM) to improve employees' performance. Design/methodology/approach This was a descriptive– analytical and cross-sectional study. The total number of employees in medical centres was 2,256 people. According to Morgan’s table, the required number of samples was 328, including 10% of the sample loss. The questionnaire was given to 365 staff in different hospitals in proportion to the number of staff. Two statistical software, SPSS24 and AMOS23, were used to evaluate the results. Findings All three variables were relatively moderate in the hospitals. The results of evaluating the structural model of the research showed that all the studied hypotheses were significant, except for the relationship between organizational performance and strategic orientation hypothesis. The results also show that this model had a good fit. Practical implications The findings can lead to saving the environment, creating a better social image and reducing costs and profitability, allowing managers to know the strategic orientations rather than depending on institutional pressure issues and monitoring guidelines. Originality/value Considering the significant relationship between the dimensions of green SCM and the hospitals’ performance, the authors suggest: establishing multilateral co-operation in environmental issues, improving the environmental status of hospitals, reducing waste rates and paying attention to social responsibility of hospitals. In addition, the findings help hospital management to comprehensively understand the strategies for implementing green SCM procedures.

战略定位与绩效的关系：绿色供应链管理对绩效提升的中介作用

目的战略导向是影响组织活动营销和战略选择的关键原则之一，反映了组织为创造行为、提高组织效率和员工绩效而实施的战略趋势。因此，本文旨在通过绿色供应链管理来研究Qazvin教学医院的战略定位与绩效之间的关系，以提高员工的绩效。设计/方法论/方法这是一项描述性、分析性和横断面研究。医疗中心的员工总数为2256人。根据Morgan的表格，所需的样本数量为328个，其中包括10%的样本损失。调查问卷按员工人数的比例发给了不同医院的365名员工。两个统计软件SPSS24和AMOS23用于评估结果。结果所有三个变量在医院中都相对温和。对研究结构模型的评估结果表明，除了组织绩效与战略取向之间的关系假设外，所有研究假设都是显著的。结果还表明，该模型具有良好的拟合性。实际意义这些发现可以拯救环境，创造更好的社会形象，降低成本和盈利能力，让管理者了解战略方向，而不是依赖于机构压力问题和监督准则。原创性/价值考虑到绿色供应链管理的维度与医院绩效之间的显著关系，作者建议：在环境问题上建立多边合作，改善医院的环境状况，降低废物率，关注医院的社会责任。此外，研究结果有助于医院管理层全面了解实施绿色供应链管理程序的策略。

The journal welcomes papers which use varied approaches, including discussion of theory, comparative studies, systematic evaluation of interventions, analysis of qualitative data and study of health and social care institutions and the political process. Papers published in IJHRH: -Clearly demonstrate the implications of the research -Provide evidence-rich information -Provoke reflection and support critical analysis of both challenges and strengths -Share examples of best practice and ‘what works’, including user perspectives IJHRH is a hugely valuable source of information for researchers, academics, students, practitioners, managers, policy-makers, commissioning bodies, social workers, psychologists, nurses, voluntary sector workers, service users and carers internationally.
