A Causal Relationship Model of Knowledge Productivity of Professional Nurses in Public Hospitals in the Northern Region of Thailand
Abstract
The aims of this research were 1) to study the characteristics of knowledge productivity and develop a causal relationship model among social capital, Human capital factors, and Absorptive capacity that affected
knowledge productivity of Professional nurses who were the members of the network for caring patients with diabetes in public hospitals in the northern region of Thailand, and 2) to examine the concordance between a hypothetical model and a real condition.
The samples of this study, received from each province through thesimple random sampling technique, were professional nurses involved in caring patients with diabetes in public hospitals in the northern region of Thailand. The samples were listed in order according to particular provinces. 212 completed questionnaires were received (Response rate 78.5%).
The findings of the study revealed that 1) all factors of the causal relationship model on Knowledge management innovation capability model were at a high level. 2) Regarding the analysis of linear structure of the causal relationship model found that the constructed model was in accordance with the empirical data (P-value= 0.444; CMIN/DF= 1.010; GFI= 0.91; AGFI= 0.88; RMSEA= 0.004; TLI= 0.979; CFI= 0.982).
Suggestion that Hospital manager should support using knowledge from knowledge sharing each member in Diabetes Community of Practices in their diabetes patients' caring tasks.
