“…The SET holds significant relevance in shaping the comprehension of individuals’ behaviour concerning resource utilisation and exchange, particularly within the healthcare context (Zhang and Liu, 2021). This theory has found extensive applications across the healthcare sector in knowledge sharing (Zhuo and Wang, 2024), human resource practices (Akingbola et al. , 2023) and leadership (Orekoya, 2023).…”

“…Literature review and hypotheses development 2.1 Social exchange theory (SET) The SET holds significant relevance in shaping the comprehension of individuals' behaviour concerning resource utilisation and exchange, particularly within the healthcare context (Zhang and Liu, 2021). This theory has found extensive applications across the healthcare sector in knowledge sharing (Zhuo and Wang, 2024), human resource practices (Akingbola et al, 2023) and leadership (Orekoya, 2023). SET acts as a lens in the study, by examining the employee-organisation relationship through the exchange of resources.…”

PurposeThe objective of this study aims to investigate the manner in which Human Resource Practices (HRP), leadership, and intellectual capital contribute to organisational agility within the healthcare sector, and to assess how this agility influences overall organisational performance.Design/methodology/approachThis research was undertaken within healthcare organisations situated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study sample comprised of 275 participants, and the distribution of the sample across various classifications closely mirrored that of the larger population. To assess the formulated hypotheses, the research utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) software.FindingsResults confirmed the proposed framework and uncovered the significance of HRP, leadership and intellectual capital on organisational agility and organisational performance in a dynamic environment like hospitals.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates originality by investigating hospital responsiveness within a highly dynamic context necessitating agility from both managerial and non-technical perspectives. Additionally, it explores the impact of HRP, leadership, and intellectual capital on organisational agility, along with its repercussions for overall organisational performance.

Online health communities (OHCs) are encouraging doctors to engage in prosocial behaviors to promote sustainable development of OHCs and benefit the user base, which may further influence doctor-level performance. However, it is unclear how prosocial behavior and its intensity affect doctor-level performance, such as doctor-patient relationship, online reputation, and online demand. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of prosocial behavior and its intensity on doctor-patient relationship, online reputation, and online demand. We conducted a series of empirical analyses on 103,208 doctor-level samples from a leading OHC in China. Initially, we applied the propensity score matching (PSM) method to obtain a more balanced sample, then, we employed a negative binomial regression model to analyze the sample after PSM, and finally, we performed a robustness test using a zero-inflated negative binomial regression model and changing the time window. Our research findings indicate that prosocial behavior positively affects the doctor-patient relationship, doctors’ online reputation, and online demand. The intensity of prosocial behavior has an inverted U-shaped relationship with the doctor-patient relationship, online reputation, and online demand. The doctor’s clinical title negatively moderates the effect of prosocial behavior on the doctor-patient relationship and online demand. Therefore, OHC operators can draw on our findings to encourage more doctors to engage in prosocial behavior while suggesting they consider the role of the intensity of prosocial behavior and clinical title.
