Research Objective

To analyze the impacts of organizational changes on employee performance in public hospitals, specifically examining the influence of demographic factors on change management and employee performance.

Methodology

This research employed a conclusive research design, combining causal and descriptive elements, using a survey approach. A questionnaire was distributed to 130 nurses in public hospitals in District D.I. Khan, with 98 usable responses received (75% response rate). SPSS was used for data analysis. Reliability of the questionnaire items was tested using Cronbach's Alpha. T-tests and F-tests were used to analyze mean differences between demographic groups (marital status, length of service, qualification) and research variables.

Discussion

The study found that demographic characteristics such as marital status, length of service, and qualification did not significantly influence nurses' perceptions of change management attributes or their performance in public hospitals. This suggests that these demographic factors do not play a substantial role in how nurses respond to organizational change or how it affects their performance in the studied context. The findings align with some previous studies but contradict others regarding the influence of length of service.

Key Findings

There was no significant mean difference found in the impact of demographic factors (marital status, length of service, and qualification) on the research variables, which included communication, leadership, employee development, procedural justice, tolerance to change, and employee performance.

Conclusion

The research concludes that demographic factors, specifically marital status, length of service, and qualification, do not have a significant impact on employee performance in the context of change management within public hospitals in Dera Ismail Khan. The study implies that other factors not examined might be more influential.
