Development of a High-Performance Organizational Model in Disease Prevention and Control at Provincial Level

Abstract

This research aimed to develop a high-performance organization model for disease prevent and control at the provincial level. This was a research and development, mixed method research comprising of 3 phases: (1) synthesis of the form elements by studying documents, in-depth interviewed of 5 ex­perts and connoisseurshiped of 10 experts; (2) examinng the high performance organization model by the causal path analysis, and validated the appropriateness of the model components. Data were collected by using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The key informants were a senior executive head of the disease control group and staff of the 8 provinces in the lower northern provinces, altogether 239 samples. Data were analyzed by using path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis; and (3) implementing and evaluatng the model be interviewing 25 samples; and analysing the data by using descriptive statistics. The results showed that [1] the modeling consisted of 7 categories (30 sub-ele­ment), including: (1) executive leadership, (2) strategic planning, (3) focusing on the public service, (4) information, analysis of data and knowledge management, (5) development of human resources, (6) development of operational processes, (7) results of operations; [2] the direct influence of the six factors above was between 0.507-0.686, and the indirect effects were derived from categorie (4) of information throughed categorie (1), (2), (3), (5), (6), with values was between 0.057-0.219. The results of the 7-audit model showed constructive validity in harmony with the empirical data at 0.05 level of the statistical significance, [3] the 5 provinces could use self-assessment data with the empirical data effectively, the total score was between 25.50–32.80%. This assessment model was found to be highly feasible and useful.
