Abstract

This study examines the impact of accountability arrangements in the form of performance feedback on organizational behaviors among healthcare organizations. Specifically, it evaluates the effectiveness of a performance management program implemented in South Korean healthcare settings, focusing on antibiotic prescription patterns. The study presents three key findings. First, significant performance improvement occurred mainly among low performing organizations. Second, public healthcare organizations exhibited greater performance enhancements compared to their private counterparts. Third, organizational responses to performance feedback were more pronounced when robust competition prevailed among the assessed healthcare institutions. This synergy between performance management and competitive environments was primarily evident in private organizations.
