Analysis of Managerial Support, Communication Patterns, and Work Motivation in Shaping the Quality of Medical Team Performance

Az Zahra Shafira Subhan — 2026-03-29

The quality of medical team performance constitutes a crucial determinant of excellence in hospital services. Organizational dimensions such as managerial support, communication patterns, and work motivation are widely recognized as key factors influencing employee performance within healthcare institutions. A comprehensive understanding of the relative contributions of these variables is essential for the formulation of effective human resource management strategies. This study aims to examine the influence of managerial support, communication patterns, and work motivation on the quality of medical team performance at Benyamin Guluh Hospital Kolaka. This research employed a quantitative approach utilizing a survey design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 78 medical personnel. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling with the assistance of SmartPLS software to assess the relationships among variables and test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that managerial support and communication patterns do not exert a statistically significant effect on the quality of medical team performance. Conversely, work motivation demonstrates a positive and significant influence and emerges as the most dominant factor affecting performance outcomes. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.499 indicates that managerial support, communication patterns, and work motivation collectively account for 49.9% of the variance in medical team performance. Work motivation plays a central role in enhancing the quality of medical team performance. The implementation of targeted motivational strategies among medical personnel proves more effective than relying solely on managerial support or communication enhancement initiatives.

The performance of Emergency Department (ED) personnel constitutes a critical determinant of hospital service quality. This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation on service quality and staff performance, as well as the effect of service quality on staff performance at the Emergency Department of Lakipadada Regional Hospital, Tana Toraja, while identifying the most dominant factor affecting staff performance. The research employed a quantitative approach with an analytical design. The sample comprised 50 ED personnel selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression, including t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings indicate that work motivation has a significant effect on service quality (β = 0.393; p = 0.005). Partially, both work motivation (β = 0.393; p = 0.005) and service quality (β = 0.479; p = 0.001) significantly influence ED staff performance. Simultaneously, work motivation and service quality significantly affect staff performance (F = 49.521; p = 0.001). The coefficient of determination reveals that 67.8% of the variance in staff performance can be explained by work motivation and service quality (R² = 0.678), with service quality emerging as the most dominant factor. These findings underscore the necessity of managerial strategies focused on enhancing both work motivation and service quality to improve the performance of ED personnel at Lakipadada Regional Hospital, Tana Toraja.

Meta Analysis: The Role of Herbal Medicines in the Management of Functional Gastric Disorders

Nur Cahyani Tahir — 2026-04-20

Functional gastric disorders (FGDs), including functional dyspepsia, are highly prevalent worldwide and significantly affect patients’ quality of life. Herbal medicines are increasingly used as complementary therapies, yet their overall effectiveness remains uncertain due to variability across studies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of herbal medicines in the management of functional gastric disorders through a systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and relevant national databases for studies published between 2015 and 2025. The review followed PRISMA guidelines. Randomized controlled trials assessing herbal interventions in adults with FGDs were included. Data were analyzed using a random-effects model due to substantial heterogeneity. Effect sizes, 95% confidence intervals (CI), and heterogeneity indices (Q, I², τ²) were calculated. Five randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. The pooled effect size was 0.105 (95% CI: 0.000–0.216; p ≈ 0.050), indicating a small but positive effect of herbal medicines on symptom improvement. However, heterogeneity was very high (I² = 98.90%), reflecting considerable inter-study variability. Herbal medicines demonstrate modest potential as complementary therapies for FGDs. Nevertheless, the small effect size and high heterogeneity warrant cautious interpretation and highlight the need for larger, high-quality clinical trials.
