The purpose of this study is, first, to
understand knowledge, attitude and intention
of CEO to build learning hospitals; and
second, to clarify the relationship between
hospital’s characteristics and its knowledge,
attitude and intention of learning hospital;
and finally, to identify related factors for
building learning hospitals. Structured
questionnaire was distributed to 519 hospitals
by mail and 171 valid hospitals replied with
response rate of 32.95 percent.
Those factors related to knowledge of
learning organizations (LO) included
hospital’s ownership status, accredited status,
and promotion unit for education and
learning.
Less than fifty percent of hospitals had
implement LO activities. In regarding their
attitude toward LO, 23.4% hospitals did not
have plan for LO implementation. The major
reason is short of financial sources. The
expectation from those hospitals to obtain
included the experienced of other hospitals,
and specified the exact contents of learning
organization. The most common
implementation barriers covered from
complaining too much work to do already
2
and resistance to change from employees.
Whether hospitals had promotion unit for
education and learning was significantly
related to the attitude of implementing LO.
Sixty-six percent of hospitals would
spent less than 300,000 NT dollars for
implementing LO and 63.4 percent of
hospitals would implement LO less than
three years.
From multivariate analysis, factors
related to LO knowledge, in terms of first
degree basic knowledge, include ownership
status, the establishing of promotion unit for
education learning, and the educational level
of respondent. The model explained 27.5%
of total variance. Hospitals with promotion
unit for education learning, higher knowledge
score of LO and held lecture or training
course are more likely to have LO activities.
Hospitals’ with higher accredited status
would spend more money in implementing
LO. Hospital’s. Hospital’s managers used to
attend LO related training course are more
likely to spend more than 300,00 NT dollars
in implementing LO.
From all the findings above, this study
recommended that hospital should establish a
task force or a specific unit to promote LO in
order to help conducting related training
courses. By the way, it could enhance the
knowledge, attitude as well as the intention
for LO. To promote more adoption, health
officers in charge have to elaborate the exact
contents of LO, benchmark experience form
