Investigating the Impact of Dynamic Capabilities on Constructive Collaboration and Supply Chain Performance in Healthcare Centers

In response to evolving external environments, organizations must renew their valuable resources to sustain competitive advantage. Dynamic capabilities empower organizations to effectively navigate these continual changes. Essentially, dynamic capabilities foster a stable behavioral orientation within organizations, facilitating integration, reformulation, renewal, and reconstruction of resources and capabilities, particularly enhancing and revitalizing core capabilities in response to dynamic environments to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This study explores the influence of dynamic capabilities on constructive collaboration and supply chain performance within healthcare centers. Dynamic capabilities are categorized into four perspectives: sensitivity, learning, coordination, and integration. Constructive collaboration serves as a mediating variable, while technological orientation acts as a moderating variable in the model.

This study adopts an applied purpose and descriptive-survey method. The statistical population comprises employees at Ayatollah Taleghani Gonbadkavus Hospital. Using a questionnaire adapted from Mandal's (2022) study, the research establishes relationships between variables, categorized as descriptive-analytical. The questionnaire's validity was assessed using convergence and divergence methods, and reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. Data analysis employed structural equation modeling and Smart-PLS software.

Data analysis reveals a significant relationship between the learning, coordination, and integration perspectives of the hospital and constructive collaboration. However, no significant relationship is observed between the sensitivity perspective and constructive collaboration, nor between constructive collaboration and the performance of the healthcare system's supply chain. A significant relationship exists, and technological orientation does not moderate the relationship between the sensitivity perspective and learning with constructive collaboration, but it moderates the relationship between the coordination and integration perspective with constructive collaboration.

Improvements in collaborative efforts across various hospital departments, decreased risks of medical errors, enhanced service quality, and elevated professional status of staff are among the outcomes of assessing the performance of hospitals' sustainable supply chains.
