Material type: TextDescription: 294-312 pSubject(s): In: SAGE PUBLICATIONS JOURNAL OF HEALTH MANAGEMENTSummary: This article aims to identify dimensions of internal service quality (ISQ) which can be operationalized to deliver healthcare services. This article conceptualizes and assesses the relationship among ISQ, internal customer satisfaction and organizational performance. A 41-item questionnaire has been circulated among the Indian healthcare service providers including doctors, nurses and system staff and 237 valid responses had been received. Structural equation modelling (SEM) has been used to assess the interrelationship among constructs. Results show that high performance work environment, professionalism and collaboration, accountability and commitment and knowledge and competence are the specific dimensions that affect the ISQ. Among these dimensions, high performance work environment comes out to be the most important. It is inferred that ISQ influences organizational performance with the mediating role of internal customer satisfaction. The article highlights the autopoietic nature of the system where knowledge dissemination becomes the most relevant prerequisite for delivering quality care.Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
