Abstract

Background: One of the necessities of hospital administrations is that the top and middle managers should be familiar with leadership styles and conflict management strategies completely and select a right managerial method. Through this, they can actively play a significant role in improving effectiveness and efficiency of hospital performance. The main objective of this research is surveying the relationship between Fidler's LPC score (as a sign for leadership style) and conflict management strategies (avoidance oriented, solution oriented, control oriented).

Materials and Methods: For surveying leadership styles Fiddler's Least Preferred Coworker questionnaire and for surveying conflict management strategies, another questionnaire was used. The reliability of these two was 0.90 and 0.88 respectively. The survey population was consisted of the high and middle managers of Kerman's educational hospitals (81), and a sample 67 individuals was selected for survey.

Results: The result showed that respondents mostly use communication oriented style and employed conflict management strategies are avoidance, solution and control respectively. Also it was observed that there is a positive and significant relation between LPC score and avoidance and solution strategies (r= 0.512 and 0.298 respectively). But there is a negative and significant relation between LPC score and control oriented strategy (r= -0.474).

Conclusion: According to the findings it is suggested that, the reasons of using avoidance strategy should be surveyed and try to encourage people to state their inconsistent ideas and converse freely. This could help organization to improve its performance. But communication oriented style is suitable and its maintenance should be taken into consideration.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Employee creativity is a key element for
achieving sustainable competitive advantage in both private and public
organizations. This study aims to explore the influence of leadership styles
and feedback behavior on employee creativity growth, considering the
mediating role of the communication mechanism among employees of
public clinics in Zanjan.

Materials and Methods: This applied study follows a descriptive-survey
approach. Data were collected through field observations, questionnaire
distribution, and library research related to the study variables. The
statistical population included all employees of public clinics in Zanjan. From
209 people, 135 were randomly selected as the sample based on Cochran's
formula. The questionnaires were distributed and completed by these
individuals. Data collected via questionnaires were analyzed using structural
equation modeling with PLS and SPSS software.

Results: Feedback behavior (coefficient = 0.256), leadership styles
(coefficient = 0.543), and the communication mechanism (coefficient =
0.126) significantly influenced employee creativity. Additionally, feedback
behavior (coefficient = 0.267) and leadership styles (coefficient = 0.348)
significantly impacted the communication mechanism. The results also
indicated that the communication mechanism effectively mediated the
relationship between leadership styles (coefficient = 0.044) and feedback
behavior (coefficient = 0.034) on employee creativity growth.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that leadership styles and feedback
behavior significantly influence employee creativity growth through the
mediating role of the communication mechanism. Organizational managers
should leverage these factors to enhance their employees' creativity
