The Impact of Strategic Leadership on Strengthening Occupational Health and Safety System at Yemeni Hospitals in the City of Hodeidah

Abstract

dimensions (strategic orientation, core capabilities, human capital development, organizational culture, ethical practices, and balanced organizational control) on the occupational health and safety system (OHSS) in Yemeni hospitals in the city of Hodeidah. The study followed a descriptive-analytical approach and developed a questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The study population consisted of all administrative and medical leaders working in Yemeni hospitals in Hodeidah, totaling (378) individuals. Given the small size of the study population, a census sampling method was used. After distributing the questionnaire to the sample, (323) valid responses were retrieved for analysis.

The study findings showed a statistically significant positive impact of strategic leadership, with all its dimensions, on the occupational health and safety system. However, the impact of the different dimensions of strategic leadership varied. The most influential dimension was "balanced organizational control," followed by the dimensions of "ethical practices," "strategic orientation," "core capabilities," and "organizational culture," respectively. The results also indicated that there was no significant impact of the "human capital development" dimension on the occupational health and safety system in Yemeni hospitals in Hodeidah.
