Background & Aims: Knowledge is important as one of the main drivers of progress and performance improvement in organizations. In fact, knowledge allows managers and employees to make better decisions using up-to-date and accurate information, innovate, and solve complex problems that may occur in the workplace more effectively. In complex organizations such as hospitals, where the need for coordination and cooperation between different teams is of great importance, knowledge-based leadership can have a significant impact on improving the quality of health services and increasing patient satisfaction. This type of leadership gives hospital staff access to new information and knowledge and can use their knowledge to improve care and treatment processes in the best possible way. Applying appropriate knowledge in hospitals can not only reduce decision-making time but also help improve accuracy in diagnosis and treatment. Knowledge-based leadership can play an important role in improving processes and increasing efficiency in hospitals, which are challenging and sensitive environments and require complex interactions. However, despite their efforts to apply knowledge-based leadership, many hospitals still face challenges in improving employees' performance and organizational growth. Effective knowledge-based leadership helps hospitals use their resources optimally and improve their work processes. This increases the quality of medical services and patient satisfaction, because hospitals can respond to medical needs faster and more accurately. On the other hand, organizational growth of employees, which shows their professional growth and development, plays an important role in increasing motivation, job satisfaction, and reducing job burnout. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the relationship between knowledge-based leadership and organizational performance, especially in the context of hospitals, and its effect on the organizational growth of employees. This research seeks to answer the questions of how knowledge-based leadership can help improve organizational performance and increase employee growth in hospitals and what factors are influential in this regard. This study can help provide practical solutions to improve knowledge management and improve organizational performance in hospitals and play a key role in optimizing processes and increasing employee satisfaction. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between knowledge-based leadership on organizational performance and organizational growth of employees of hospital in Kalat City.
Methods: This research was applied in terms of objective, quantitative in terms of data, and a survey in terms of data collection method from the group of descriptive-correlational researchers. According to the subject of the research, the statistical population included all the employees of Imam Hassan Mojtaba (AS) Kalat Hospital, which were estimated to be 100 and were working in 2018. The random sampling method is simple, and Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size, based on which 80 people were selected. The data collection tools included Donit and Depalo's knowledge-based leadership questionnaire (2015), Spiders' organizational maturity (2007), and Ramezani's organizational maturity (2013). SPSS18 statistical software was used for data analysis, and the statistical test used in this research was Pearson's correlation test.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge-based leadership and organizational performance, as well as knowledge-based leadership and organizational growth.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that knowledge-based leadership has a significant effect on organizational performance and organizational growth of hospital employees. These findings indicate that hospitals whose leaders attach importance to knowledge management and sharing can have significant improvements in efficiency, service quality, and innovation in their work processes. Knowledge-based leadership by providing platforms for continuous learning and growth allows employees to develop their skills and participate in the organization's activities with more motivation and commitment. This research shows that knowledge-based leadership not only leads to increased efficiency and improved organizational performance but also contributes to the development and organizational growth of employees. Employees who work in a learning and supported environment feel more satisfied and belong to the organization and use their capacities to the fullest. In this way, knowledge-based leadership can be considered as a strategic approach to improve performance and strengthen organizational growth in hospitals. The general conclusion is that to achieve sustainable success and continuous growth in hospitals, focusing on knowledge-based leadership and paying attention to the professional and personal development of employees should be considered a basic priority. Knowledge-based leadership helps employees to continuously improve their skills and abilities by creating a platform for continuous learning and knowledge sharing. In environments such as hospitals where updating professional knowledge and skills is critical, knowledge-based leadership can enable employees to play a more effective role in the organization by accessing new knowledge. This leads to the professional and personal growth of employees and prepares them to accept new responsibilities and face work challenges. Knowledge-based leadership also makes employees feel that the organization cares about their development and growth, as leaders use knowledge and training as tools to enhance skills and create learning opportunities. This type of leadership motivates employees to be more creative and innovative in work processes and to look for new and more effective ways to improve performance instead of performing tasks in a traditional way. Also, by encouraging the exchange of information and cooperation between different team members, knowledge-based leadership strengthens the organizational climate in which employees feel more supported and valued. This support increases employees' commitment to the organization and creates a positive and dynamic environment in which individual and organizational growth is promoted simultaneously. Therefore, knowledge-based leadership not only causes the personal growth and development of employees but also creates the basis for increasing motivation, commitment, and creativity in the organization, which ultimately leads to organizational growth.
