Abstract
Background and Aim: The lack of organizational health in institutions is one of the fundamental challenges facing organizations, particularly in the banking system, and it entails various negative consequences. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of examining the relationship between good organizational governance and organizational health among managers and employees of Bank Maskan.
Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population consisted of the employees and managers of Bank Maskan in Ardabil Province in 2023. Based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table, a sample of 162 individuals was selected through systematic sampling. The data collection instruments included the Organizational Good Governance Questionnaire developed by Alipour (2014) and the Organizational Health Questionnaire by Miles (1996). Data analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation test and structural equation modeling (SEM) with the SPSS 22 and AMOS software packages.
Ethical Considerations: After obtaining permission from the management of Bank Maskan and explaining the objectives of the study to the participants, their informed consent was obtained, and they were assured of the confidentiality of their information.
Findings: The results showed a direct and significant relationship between good organizational governance and its components with organizational health (R = 0.46, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the structural model test indicated that good organizational governance had a direct effect on organizational health (β = 0.450, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: To enhance organizational health within the country's banking system, it is essential to apply the principles and components of good organizational governance, including result orientation, role and task effectiveness, value promotion, transparency, capacity building, and accountability.
