Abstract:
Primary care units (PCUs) are government agencies that are collectively crucial to most of the population in Thailand. These units have been extended from the state health services system to serve the majority of the population located in many rural areas. In the context of organizational management for better service quality, leadership style is one of the important factors to consider. But few studies have focused on the relation of leadership styles as transformational leadership in combination with charismatic leadership in PCUs located across the country. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the mediating effects of self-efficacy and technology acceptance on the relationship between transformational leadership and charismatic leadership with service quality in the PCUs.
This research used a quantitative research method. The sample group used in the study consisted of 1,278 persons, being 3 groups. Each group consisted of 426 persons from professional nurses, health workers and service recipients in PCUs covering all regions of Thailand (North region 23.94%, Northeast region 26.77%, Central region 29.58%, Southern region 19.71%). The multistage sampling method was used to set up the hierarchical structure of each group. Then, simple random sampling was applied. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire, which was developed based on theory and tested results until the appropriate process requirements are met. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using a structural equation model.
The research results revealed that both technology acceptance and self-efficacy had mediating roles in the relationships between transformational leadership and charismatic leadership with service quality in PCUs at a statistically significant level of .05. But the relationship that has the effect of being a mediating role for technology acceptance which is the only mediating variable in the relationship between the two types of leaders on the quality of service demonstrated no statistically significant at a level of .05. This is because patients who used the service are not the direct users of technology, so technology acceptance demonstrates no statistical significance as a mediator between these relationships. These theoretical tests have supported comparative conceptual modelling in mediating roles in the context of PCUs in Thailand.
