| [en] Monitoring performance in healthcare organizations appears evolving drastically over time, due to a
continuous search for better quality, efficiency and timeliness. As a result, the usefulness of traditional management/performance control systems in such organizations is questioned and a focus is then made on the context in which each organization is operating. In a contingent-based perspective, a limited number of qualitative and quantitative empirical studies examine how some major contingent variables (nature of the organization, size, structure…) influence both the managerial decision-making process and the management control process in healthcare organizations. But, while largely integrated in other managerial contexts (Kabwigiri and Van Caillie, 2000), most of them ignore the variable “uncertainty” and how uncertainty is perceived by managers in healthcare organizations. So, the prime interest of our empirical study is to appraise how uncertainty is appraised by managers in volatile environments. To investigate this subject further, we rely on seminal studies that link between the influence of the organizational attributes (structure, size, level of technology), and their effect on the managerial decisions-making (personal profile and perception) of a suitable management control system (MCS). Our methodology rests on a “qualitative comparative approach” of thirty case studies, lead in two heterogeneous environments (Belgium and Lebanon). Such method allows us to validate our theoretical framework with qualitative case studies collected via semi-structured questionnaire. Our findings provide us with a dialogue between a single (in-depth) case study exploring the phenomenon and a qualitative comparative approach. Thus, we gain understanding of the causal mechanisms and processes, as well as of the core determinants of the healthcare managerial adoption of performance monitoring systems (PMS). | |
