"Strategic Innovation and Productivity of Healthcare Practitioners in Selected Teaching Hospitals in South West, Nigeria" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-9 | Issue-2, April 2025, pp.1150-1162, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd79703.pdf

Strategic innovations are essential tools for measuring an organization's internal and external performance, assessing strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and trends to achieve economic growth and development. Strategists must effectively manage these challenges to ensure productivity, profitability, and sustainability. Unfortunately, in Nigeria today, there appears to be a decline in the motivation to enhance employee productivity. This has become a major concern for healthcare practitioners and strategic management scholars. The health sector requires strategic innovation systems to effectively manage healthcare practitioners' productivity activities in teaching hospitals across South West Nigeria. Therefore, this study examined the effect of strategic innovation on employee productivity of healthcare practitioners of selected teaching hospitals in South West, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design. The population was 11,600 senior and middle-level healthcare practitioners from selected teaching hospitals in South-West, Nigeria, who are registered by the West African College of Physicians in Nigeria and Federal Ministry of Health. The sample size of 484 was determined using Raosoft sample size calculator. Respondents were selected by simple random sampling technique. Structured and validated questionnaire was used to collect data. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the constructs ranged from 0.74 to 0.94. The response rate was 85.1%. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential (multiple liner regression) statistics at 5% level of significance. Findings revealed that strategic innovation had a significant effect on employee productivity (Adj. R² = 0.509, F(5,405) = 86.006, p < 0.05) of selected teaching hospitals in South-West, Nigeria. This study concluded that strategic innovations significantly affect employee productivity of healthcare practitioners in selected teaching hospitals in South-West, Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that management of selected teaching hospitals should adopt the use of strategic innovations in order to enhance healthcare practitioners’ productivity.
