Abstract
As healthcare issues increase in complexity, healthcare organizations are applying resources to design and execute leadership development programs for their teams. This study examines the effects of an inter-professional healthcare leadership development program on changes in organizational (affective) commitment and shared vision. A quantitative approach using validated multi-item measures was provided during pre-program and post-program assessments. Findings indicate a significant increase in shared vision and organizational commitment. Results suggest that a well-defined leadership development program increases healthcare participants’ commitment to organizational goals and objectives.
