Abstract

The effectiveness of healthcare organizations is closely linked to the personal development of their workforce, as healthcare professionals operate in environments that demand emotional stability, adaptability, collaboration, and ethical responsibility. This descriptive study investigates the influence of personal development on organizational performance among healthcare professionals. The primary objective of the study is to examine the relationship between personal development and organizational performance and to determine whether personal development significantly predicts organizational outcomes in healthcare settings. Data were collected from 100 healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and allied health workers, using a convenience sampling technique. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were gathered through a structured questionnaire comprising the Personal Self-Concept (PSC) Questionnaire and the Organizational Performance Framework developed by Lee. Responses were measured on a five-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, simple linear regression, independent sample t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. The results revealed a moderate and statistically significant positive relationship between personal development and organizational performance, indicating that higher levels of personal growth are associated with improved organizational outcomes. Regression analysis confirmed that personal development significantly predicts organizational performance, explaining a meaningful proportion of variance in performance indicators. Furthermore, the study found no significant differences in personal development or organizational performance across demographic variables such as age, gender, and profession, suggesting consistency across healthcare roles. The findings highlight the importance of fostering personal development among healthcare professionals to enhance teamwork, communication, employee engagement, and overall organizational effectiveness. The study emphasizes that investment in personal growth initiatives can contribute to sustainable organizational performance and improved quality of healthcare service delivery.
