Abstract
This study addresses recent calls for more research on the potential intervening role exerted by certain individual variables in the relationship between performance feedback and performance. Specifically, this study selects medical managers' sense of managerial self-efficacy as a potential mediational variable in the feedback-performance relationship. A mediational model examining how the effect of performance feedback on medical managers' budgetary performance is influenced by their sense of managerial self-efficacy was established based on survey data from 60 medical managers working in a hospital. Data analysis was conducted using the partial least squares technique, and the results confirmed the hypothesised relationships. Specifically, performance feedback was positively associated with managerial self-efficacy, and managerial self-efficacy exerted a positive influence on medical managers' budgetary performance. Further, performance feedback was determined not to be directly associated with budgetary performance; however, a full mediating effect of managerial self-efficacy was found. These findings make several contributions to the literature and can help healthcare managers have a better understanding of the consequences and importance of the technical features of performance feedback reports.
期刊介绍:
Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.
