Research Article: Senior Hospital Physician Leaders’ Perspectives on Factors That Impact Physician Engagement: A Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract:
Health systems face social, economic, and political challenges, which demand continual adjustments, transformations, and adaptations.– One problem increasingly requiring attention is workforce issues., Significant challenges exist, including shortages, unequal distribution of health workers, limited resources, and fiscal constraints.,, Hospital leadership plays an essential role in personnel management, including fostering commitment from the workforce to improve health-care services. Employee engagement is critical to create and sustain harmonious work environments. Kleine et al found supportive leadership behaviour, commitment, and perceived organizational support are associated with an employee thriving at work. Hospital leaders must consider strategies to measure and enhance physician engagement, which is defined as the active involvement and participation of physicians in administrative and/or leadership activities in their organization., Limited studies exist on this topic, and few examine efforts to measure, plan, or improve physician engagement., The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the perspectives of senior hospital physician leaders on factors impacting physician engagement.
