Abstract

Introduction: organizational health and flexibility enable organizations to manage complex challenges in the organization such as the occurrence of crises such as Covid-19. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between organizational health and organizational flexibility with the mediating role of stress of contracting Covid-19 in medical personnel of Shohdai Anohmim Yasuj Hospital in 2022.
Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional descriptive study, 160 medical staff working in Shahada Anhomesh Yasouj Hospital were selected by simple random sampling. The treatment staff responded to the Organizational Health Scale (OHI) of Hoy and Fidman, the Organizational Flexibility Questionnaire of Mofabi et al., and the standard Covid-19 stress questionnaire. Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling and SPSS20 and SMART PLS software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that the average age of the participants was 32.18±1.62, and 98 people (61.25 percent) were women and 62 people (38.75 percent) were men. The findings showed that organizational health has a positive and significant relationship with organizational flexibility and a negative and significant relationship with the stress of contracting Covid-19 (p<0.001). The stress of contracting Covid-19 has a negative and significant relationship with organizational flexibility (p<0.001). The stress of contracting covid-19 significantly plays a mediating role between the relationship between organizational health and organizational flexibility (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results show that organizational health and organizational flexibility have a positive and strong
relationship, also the stress of contracting Covid-19 has a mediating role with its inverse and significant relationship between these two variables, so it seems that by controlling the stress of contracting Covid-19 Organizational health and organizational flexibility can be improved.
