Abstract

In recent years, over-supply of hospitals has made hospital management more difficult and hospitals have introduced innovative hospital management to enhance customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of innovativeness of hospitals on customer satisfaction by using mediating effects of hospital capacity and location strategy. The subjects of this study were selected from 120 patients and caregivers who were hospitalized in Seoul and Metropolitan area hospitals and conducted questionnaire and statistical analysis. The results of this study are as follows: Firstly, this paper shows hospital Innovativeness does not significantly affect customer satisfaction. Unlike private companies, it is urgent to develop innovativeness measuring tools that are unique to hospitals differentiated from those of general companies. Secondly, although the impact of Innovativeness on hospital internal competency and location strategy was similar, location strategy(${\beta}=0.357$) had a greater impact on customer satisfaction than internal competency(${\beta}=0.283$). This suggests that the medical institution should take precedence over the detailed preparations based on its location marketability, traffic infrastructure, building sales and medical concentration from the time of its opening. Thirdly, this paper confirms through empirical analysis that the relationship between hospital Innovativeness and customer satisfaction is completely mediated by internal capacity and location strategy. The hospital's Innovativeness is affecting customer satisfaction by enhancing the hospital's internal competencies and inducing an active attitude toward establishing a location strategy.

최근 몇 년 동안 병원의 과다 공급으로 인해 병원 관리가 어려워지면서 병원은 혁신적인 병원 경영을 도입하여, 고객 만족도를 높이고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 요양병원의 혁신성이 고객만족도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 병원의 내부역량과 입지전략의 매개효과를 중심으로 살펴 보았다. 연구의 대상은 서울 및 수도권 소재 요양병원 재원중인 환자 및 보호자 120명을 대상으로 선정하여 설문조사와 통계분석을 시행 하였다. 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 병원혁신성이 고객만족도에 유의한 영향을 주지 못하고 오히려 통계적으로 유의하지 않지만 부(-)의 영향을 미친다는 점에서 병원조직의 보수성 및 안정성에 대한 고객들의 기대를 확인할 수 있다. 일반기업과 달리 생명을 다루는 병원조직의 특성상 일반기업과 차별화된 병원조직 고유의 혁신성 측정도구 개발이 시급하다. 둘째, 혁신성이 내부역량과 입지전략에 미치는 영향력은 비슷했지만, 입지전략(${\beta}=0.357$)은 내부역량(${\beta}=0.283$)에 비해 고객만족도에 더 큰 영향력을 미치고 있음이 확인되었다. 요양병원의 경우 개원 시점부터 입지시장성, 교통인프라, 건물매력도, 의료집적성 등 입지요인에 근거하여 면밀한 준비가 선행되어야 한다는 점을 시사해 주고 있다. 셋째, 내부역량과 입지전략은 병원혁신성과 고객만족도 간의 관계를 완전매개하고 있음이 실증분석을 통해 확인되었다. 병원 혁신성은 유무형의 내부역량을 제고하고 있으며, 입지전략 수립을 위한 적극적 태도를 유도함으로써 고객만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있음이 확인되었다.
