Identifying the Factors Influencing Organizational Health: A Study of Pakistani Medical Colleges

Abstract

Organizational health, particularly, organizational health of educational institutions, is an under-researched area in Pakistan. Despite of compelling evidence that organizational health has serious, positive consequences on the wellbeing, development, and performance of the employees, as well as the organization, very little research has been conducted on this construct. Using a descriptive and quantitative research approach, the present study intends to determine the key factors that influence the organizational health of Pakistani medical colleges (OHPMC). A questionnaire for determining the factors influencing OHPMC has been specifically designed keeping in view the contextual requirements. Two hundred faculty members from four medical colleges in Rawalpindi are selected as the sample subjects. Statistical tool and techniques such as, descriptive analysis, scale reliability analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis are conducted on the collected data. The results achieved through all these analysis will help the academicians and practitioners to recognize the factors that influence the OHPMC and take necessary measures to enhance them.
