Description
This study investigates the mediating role of leadership behavior in enhancing team processes and overall team success within the healthcare sector in Oman. Drawing upon the Leading Diversity (LeaD) model, the research conceptualizes the dynamics between leadership behavior, team process effectiveness, and team success in healthcare teams. A structured survey was administered to 25 team leaders representing hospitals and primary care centers across Oman, capturing perspectives on leadership competencies, team collaboration, and outcomes. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the findings reveal that task-based leadership behavior partially mediates the relationship between effective team processes and team success. This indicates that while structured team processes are essential, their effectiveness is significantly enhanced when complemented by proactive, goal-oriented leadership. The study reinforces the critical role of leadership in navigating cultural and professional diversity among healthcare professionalsincluding physicians, nurses, technicians, and administrators. In Omans evolving healthcare landscape, characterized by modernization, resource pressures, and rising patient expectations, effective leadership is shown to improve patient care, reduce clinical errors, and enhance staff morale and communication. While the study accounts for potential social desirability and common method bias, measures were taken to minimize these effects. The application of the LeaD model in a healthcare context marks a novel contribution to leadership and healthcare management literature, emphasizing that inclusive, adaptive leadership is not only beneficial but necessary for delivering high-quality healthcare in multicultural environments. 2025, Green Publication.
