Balancing Technology and Leadership: Implications for Employee Satisfaction in Saudi Arabian Healthcare

Abstract

Technological overload, leadership behaviours, and employee outcomes in Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector are examined in this study. The main focus was on how technological overload and leadership practices affect job happiness, self-improvement, and job clarity in this setting. Validated scales from previous research were used to poll 247 nurses and doctors from diverse healthcare departments. Analytic Dynamic Network for the Analysis of Coherence (ADANCO) software explored complex variable interactions. Path analysis was used to test the hypotheses about technological overload, leadership, and employee outcomes. The findings show that technological overload, leadership, and employee outcomes are linked. Technological overload lowers job happiness, self-improvement, and clarity. Supportive and participative leadership moderated these associations, reducing the detrimental effects of technological overload on employee well-being. This study adds to the literature by examining technology overload and leadership in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system. In this quickly changing digital age, mitigating technology stressors and promoting supportive leadership practises boost employee well-being and organisational effectiveness.
