Introducing the Teaching Organization Model to Fostering Human Resources Development in Iranian Teaching Hospitals

The objective of this research is to develop a survey that focuses on the enhancement of human resources in an Iranian teaching hospital. 

This research employed a qualitative approach and grounded theory method in Iranian teaching hospitals. The study population consisted of professors, experts, and informants involved in the research subject, selected through snowball sampling. The sample size was determined using judgmental (purposive) sampling, and theoretical saturation was achieved after conducting interviews with 16 individuals. However, to ensure reliability, the researchers continued the interviews with 18 individuals. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews.

The coding process yielded over 892 codes or primary concepts extracted from the interviews. These codes were further condensed into 272 secondary codes, 99 statistical concepts, and 33 categories, resulting in the final research model.

Transforming educational hospitals into teaching organizations leads to increased productivity, improved individual and organizational performance, strengthened culture of learning and teaching, enhanced personal and organizational knowledge, establishment of a development-oriented organization, and overall organizational improvement.Value: This research is the first study conducted in teaching hospitals on the topic of creating a teaching organization, providing valuable insights into the severe resource limitations in this area.
