“…Healthcare systems inherently pose complex operational and leadership challenges (Asiabar et al, 2019). The vulnerable nature of healthcare work, coupled with unforeseen challenges and intricate dynamics among various professional groups, may contribute to distinct leadership challenges (Turner, 2019;Elkington et al, 2017). For example, Turner (2019) found that the susceptible nature of healthcare work and unexpected issues cause high work stress and tension in the environment, leading to communication challenges.…”

Healthcare systems present multifaceted operational and leadership challenges stemming from the vulnerable nature of healthcare work and external factors such as social conditions and policies. Within the Military Healthcare System (MHS), leadership challenges are compounded by unique characteristics such as deployed settings, hierarchical structures, and readiness requirements. Despite these challenges, a gap exists in understanding effective leadership training for military physician leaders. Our study addressed this gap by exploring perceptions of military physician leaders regarding influential leadership, their past experiences with leadership training, and the leadership challenges they have faced within military medicine.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors influencing the leadership effectiveness of hospital managers in Iran. Design/methodology/approach Top managers (15), middle managers (10) and operational managers (5) of public, private or social security hospitals in Tehran participated in a qualitative study using semi-structured in-depth interviews. Data were recorded, transcribed and then analyzed via MAXQDA 10 software. Findings The findings were categorized into two main themes of internal and external factors with eight sub-themes. The most important internal factors that had an influence on the leadership of the hospital managers were intra-organizational relations, manager’s personality traits, knowledge, attitude and skills of the manager. The most important external factors included extra-organizational relations, macro-level health policies, access to special financial resources, and social, economic and political factors. Research limitations/implications The results call for a need to understand and analyze the socioeconomic factors influencing managers’ leadership while adopting appropriate strategies. Practical implications The results of the current study can help design training programs for hospital managers, and suggest criteria for appointing hospital managers across the country and this can enhance the effectiveness of their leadership. Health sector policymakers and decision makers should reform the programs that target training and empowerment of hospital managers so that the right people with the right competencies will hold such positions. Social implications The results of this study showed that leadership effectiveness is also influenced by social and external factors. On the other hand, the effectiveness of management leadership can play a significant role in the quality of care provided to the community, patient satisfaction and in hospital social performance through the appropriate management of all hospital resources. Such factors should also be considered in training and appointing hospital managers. Originality/value Although there are several studies on hospital managers’ leadership worldwide, this study is the first to investigate the leadership effectiveness of hospital managers in Iran.
