MEDIATING ROLE OF VOLATILE, UNCERTAIN, COMPLEX, AMBIGUOUS CONTEXT WHILE INFLUENCING OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMPETITIVE ALIGNMENT CAPABILITY ON NAVIGATION LEADERSHIP IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR OF PAKISTAN.
Abstract
Purpose: This study intends to investigate the influence of technological and competitiveness alignment capability and volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) as mediating agent on navigation leadership in private hospitals of healthcare sector in Pakistan. Utilizing ventakraman’s model of strategic alignment capability and volatility-ambiguity theory by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, the research hopes to identify the impact of technology and competitiveness and volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous context as mediating impact on navigation leadership in healthcare sector in Pakistan.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 400 healthcare executives from the healthcare industry participated in this study by completing an online self-filled questionnaire. The collected data underwent various statistical analyses, including normality tests, reliability assessments, correlation analyses, and descriptive examinations. These analyses were employed to determine the connection between independent variables (technological and competitive alignment capability) and the dependent variable of navigation leadership along with volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous context as mediating variable.
Findings: The research paper serves as a determining framework of influence of technological and competitive alignment capability and volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous context as moderator on navigation leadership. Healthcare leaders have the potential to significantly enhance their productivity, making valuable contributions to their respective fields in the healthcare profession. The study underlines the significance of addressing these sensitive elements of healthcare sector to enhance the performance in the Pakistan healthcare sector.
Practical Implications: This study offers valuable insights for healthcare leadership within the developing countries like Pakistan healthcare industry. By recognizing and fostering influence of technological and competitive alignment capability and vuca mediation on navigation leadership in healthcare sector can create an environment where healthcare leaders are more inclined to increase their productivity and positively impact overall healthcare sector success.
Originality/Value: The originality of this study lies in its application of venkatraman’s model of strategic alignment capability and volatility-ambiguity theory by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus within the specific context of the Pakistan healthcare industry. By identifying the unique factors influencing strategic alignment capability model in navigation leadership along with vuca moderator in to evaluate and enhance the performance in this industry, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between technological and competitive alignment capability and navigation leadership mediation of vuca context.
