Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 性別教育研究所 === 107 === Clinical leadership, whether it be doctor-to-doctor or doctor-to-patient, plays a critical role in determining the quality of healthcare, which is the ultimate purpose of any medical institution. This study aims to explore the perception of male and female doctors in Taiwan on defining an ideal physician of competence, gender awareness, and situational leadership. This thesis utilizes the Delphi technique as the research method with three rounds of questionnaires with the aim of establishing expert consensus. The Situational Leadership Theory proves to be an effective tool for evaluating physician leadership styles in Taiwan. After three rounds of questionnaires, expert consensus was reached on 21 statements as indexes for defining the doctor of “competence, gender-awareness, and situational leadership.” The results of this study shall serve as the basis for developing a tool for assessing and identifying professional physician leadership, as well as for designing a medical curriculum that nurtures doctors with effective leadership capabilities.
