چکیده

The value of linkage research is in its ability to recognise the organisational practices that are the most important drivers of customer satisfaction in a specific organisation. Human Resources Management (HRM) plays a central role in the exchange relationships between the organisation’s management and its employees. Though earlier studies investigated several facets of climate as possible mediators, none of them have examined trust as a mediating variable that affects the relationship between HRM practices and service quality (SQ). In the healthcare industry, as in most other service industries, the interaction between patients and healthcare service providers (professionals and other employees) is an integral part of the service process. Yet, the provided services are highly professional, and the layman cannot always evaluate these services professionally. The current research focused on SQ as was perceived by employees, and examined the relationship between HRM practices, and SQ as well as the mediating role of trust in management in such relations in a healthcare organisation (HCO). The study, which was undertaken within an Israeli HCO that provides health services in the community, evaluated data from 411 employees and managers. The findings suggest that trust in management affects perceived SQ directly, but also mediates the relationship between employee’s perceptions of feedback and SQ. These findings are discussed in terms of relativeness for HRM policies and practices in HCOs.
