This study examined the general characteristics of chief executive officers (CEOs) and their hospitals and the perceived impact of CEO turnover on various organizational activities. A mail-based survey included 156 hospital CEOs in 6 states in the West South Central, West North Central, and Mountain regions. Neither hospital and CEO characteristics nor the impact on various organizational activities and performance indicators was significantly different among the 6 states compared. Overall, CEOs reported relatively short tenures, frequent promotion from within the organization to CEO level, and common involuntary departure of their predecessors. Respondents overwhelmingly reported a positive impact of leadership change on financial performance, employee morale, and organizational culture.
本研究考察了首席执行官（CEO）及其所在医院的一般特征，以及CEO更替对各项组织活动的感知影响。一项基于邮件的调查涵盖了来自西中南部、西北中部和山区6个州的156位医院CEO。在所比较的6个州中，医院和CEO的特征以及对各项组织活动和绩效指标的影响均无显著差异。总体而言，CEO的任期相对较短，他们大多是从组织内部晋升至CEO级别，且其前任通常是被迫离职。绝大多数受访者表示领导层更替对财务绩效、员工士气和组织文化有积极影响。
