Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study is to validate the model of organizational evolution in hospitals affiliated with the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This study was applied in terms of its purpose and quantitative in terms of its implementation method, employing a structural modeling approach. The statistical population in this part of the research included all managers, deputies, and experts in the field of the subject studied in Bushehr hospitals, totaling 130 individuals. A sample size of 100 was determined using Morgan's table and was selected via simple stratified random sampling. The research tool was a researcher-developed questionnaire. The questions and items of the questionnaire were compiled using research literature, theoretical foundations, and the results of a qualitative study. The face and content validity was confirmed by experts, and its reliability was obtained with a Cronbach's alpha method result of 0.976. Data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling method in SMART PLS software. Results: The findings of this research demonstrated that the structural model of organizational evolution has 43 sub-components across six components: causal conditions, background, mediating, central phenomenon, strategies, and outcomes. All variables obtained can be considered in the design of the final model. In conclusion, the effectiveness of each variable was discussed and analyzed from an existential perspective. The results indicated that the causal conditions, background conditions, intervening factors, and outcomes in the model of organizational evolution in hospitals affiliated with Bushehr University of Medical Sciences were significant.
Conclusion: The results showed that the model of organizational evolution in hospitals affiliated with Bushehr University of Medical Sciences is valid.
