In the contemporary healthcare environment, managing human resources expertise is just as imperative as having the supreme amount of working capital. Every business must constantly build its capacity, expertise, and competitive edge by utilizing its intellectual property and experience.
This study aimed to assess the relationship between green intellectual capital and organizational competitive advantage among nurses.
The study employed a descriptive correlational design among 350 nurses selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected from March 2023 to June 2023 using the Organizational Competitive Advantage Scale and the Green Intellectual Capital Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using -test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.
Most nurses had a moderate level of green intellectual capital (Mean = 3.60, SD = 0.27). The overall mean score for organizational competitive advantage was moderate (Mean = 3.34, SD = 0.34). The overall score of the green intellectual capital ( = 0.257, <0.001) and its dimensions⎯green human capital ( = 0.257, <0.05), green structure capital ( = 0.257, <0.001), and green relational capital ( = 0.257, <0.001)⎯had significant positive correlations with organizational competitive advantage.
Being eco-friendly has become a determining factor in the organizational competitive advantage. The study highlights the significance of nursing management in establishing partnerships with external entities to share knowledge and advance sustainable healthcare methods. It advocates for assessing organizational environmental performance and its influence on competitive edge through creating metrics, monitoring progress, and utilizing data for decision-making. Healthcare and nurse administrators are advised to set performance benchmarks, track advancements, and integrate eco-friendly strategies to bolster the hospital's competitiveness in the market.
在当代医疗环境中,管理人力资源专业知识与拥有大量营运资金同样至关重要。每个企业都必须通过利用其知识产权和经验,不断提升自身能力、专业知识和竞争优势。
本研究旨在评估护士群体中绿色智力资本与组织竞争优势之间的关系。
本研究采用描述性相关设计,通过便利抽样选取了350名护士。于2023年3月至2023年6月期间,使用组织竞争优势量表和绿色智力资本问卷收集数据。采用t检验、方差分析和皮尔逊相关分析对数据进行分析。
大多数护士的绿色智力资本水平中等(均值 = 3.60,标准差 = 0.27)。组织竞争优势的总体平均得分中等(均值 = 3.34,标准差 = 0.34)。绿色智力资本的总体得分(r = 0. 257,p < 0.001)及其维度——绿色人力资本(r = 0.257,p < 0.05)、绿色结构资本(r = 0.257,p < 0.001)和绿色关系资本(r = 0.257,p < 0.001)——与组织竞争优势均存在显著正相关。
环保已成为组织竞争优势的决定性因素。该研究强调了护理管理在与外部实体建立伙伴关系以共享知识和推进可持续医疗方法方面的重要性。它主张通过创建指标、监测进展并利用数据进行决策,来评估组织环境绩效及其对竞争优势的影响。建议医疗保健和护士管理人员设定绩效基准、跟踪进展并整合环保策略,以增强医院在市场中的竞争力。
