Correlation between Social Responsibility and Organizational Agility with Moderating Role of Job Enthusiasm at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ilam, Iran

Abstract

Introduction: The nurseschr('39') perception of their social responsibilities protects the hospital against environmental dynamic changes since a part of this responsibility is related to timely responses to environmental issues called organizational agility. In case of no organization agility, some issues are emerged known as burnout in the field of organizational behavior. The creation of job enthusiasm among the employees is the antidote to occupational burnout which leads them to achieve organizational goals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between social responsibility and organizational agility with a moderating role of job enthusiasm among nurses working at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ilam, Iran. Materials & Methods: The study population includes nurses working at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ilam, Iran. Out of 300 nurses, 169 cases were selected using Morgan table and simple random sampling. The data were collected using a standard questionnaire and the research hypotheses were tested using Smart-PLS software (Version 2). Findings: The results showed a significant relationship between social responsibility and organizational agility (52.354) which is more than a 1.96 confidence level. Therefore, the first hypothesis of the research was confirmed (i.e., there is a relationship between social responsibility and organizational agility). Moreover, job enthusiasm with a significant coefficient of 7.242 (more than a confidence level of 1.96) moderated the relationship between social responsibility and organizational agility. Discussion & Conclusions: Nowadays, the provision of good service cannot fulfill the satisfaction of the hospital stakeholders since by increasing the awareness of the people about the multiple tasks of hospitals in the social domains, responsibility towards the community is considered to be the least preference. Moreover, the mutual realization of organizational and social goals is the result of awareness and practice within the framework of social responsibility. Therefore, this critical issue depends on the agility of organizations to meet the growing expectations of stakeholders and create the groundwork for job aspirations to drive the individuals to achieve the identified organizational goals.
