目的：研究组织领导力及其与区域卫生当局促进健康行动的关系。设计/方法/方法：通过使用先前开发的四个健康促进组织领导力感知指标，本研究将重点放在作为区域卫生当局(RHA)辖区内负责解决加拿大艾伯塔省人口健康问题的分布式实体的领导力。FINDINGS：首先，检查组织层级(即董事会成员30人；中高级管理人员58人；服务提供者56人)在四种领导措施的评级上的差异，发现显著差异。也就是说，董事会成员倾向于对领导成分的评价明显高于服务提供者和中级/高级管理人员：从所有17个RIA中；在低健康促进能力和高健康促进能力RIA中。第二，回归分析发现，领导措施“组织学习实践”和“健康规划”与卫生当局在改善人群心脏健康(促进心脏健康)方面的行动呈正相关。“心脏健康促进冠军”的存在以及领导措施“工作场所环境”和“组织成员发展”也与卫生当局促进健康的行动积极相关。根据艾伯塔省“促进健康的组织能力建设”模型的建议，一个附属目标揭示了领导力、基础设施和行动意愿三个维度之间的低到中等正向关系。原创性/价值：这篇论文是在“艾伯塔省心脏健康项目传播阶段”的基线数据集(n=144)上进行的，代表了一种罕见的在集体组织层面上检验领导力的努力。
PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to examine organizational leadership and its relationship to regional health authority actions to promote health.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Through use of four previously developed measures of Perceived Organizational Leadership for Health Promotion, this paper focused on leadership as a distributed entity within regional health authority (RHA) jurisdictions mandated to address the health of the population in the province of Alberta, Canada.FINDINGS: First, examination of differentials between organizational levels (i.e. board members, n = 30; middle/senior management, n = 58; and service providers, n = 56) on ratings of the four leadership measures revealed significant differences. That is, board members tended to rate leadership components significantly higher than service providers and middle/senior managers: from across all 17 RHAs; and in low health promotion capacity and high health promotion capacity RHAs. Second, regression analyses identified that the leadership measures "Practices for Organizational Learning" and "Wellness Planning" were positively associated with health authority actions on improving population heart health (heart health promotion). The presence of a "Champion for Heart Health Promotion" and the leadership measures "Workplace Milieu" and "Organization Member Development" were also positively associated with health authority actions for health promotion. A subsidiary aim revealed low to moderate positive relationships of the dimensions of Leadership, Infrastructure and Will to Act with one another, as proposed by the Alberta Model on "Organizational Capacity Building for Health Promotion."ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This paper, conducted on the baseline dataset (n = 144) of the "Alberta Heart Health Project's Dissemination Phase", represents a rare effort to examine leadership at a collective organizational level.
