Purpose: to reveal the content of the concept of “organizational leadership”; to substantiate the relationship of organizational leadership with the function of organizing the activities of the health care institution; to prove that organizational leadership is a tool to influence improvement of the organization of the health care institution.
Materials and Methods. The information base of the study was theoretical developments presented in internet publications on management, leadership, features of the leadership process in the health care sphere, as well as practical materials obtained from the analysis of the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise Kovel City District Territorial Medical Association of the Kovel City Council of Volyn region (MNPE Kovel CDTMA).
Results. Organizational (institutional) leadership is one of the types of leadership according to the criterion of the subject of its manifestation.
Organizational area of responsibility significantly affects the functioning of other areas of responsibility, in particular: management; personnel; production; marketing; communication; organizational culture. These areas of responsibility and their components that are affected by the organization of the health care institution activities prove that the process of such influence is directly related to organizational leadership.
It is established that the organizational prospects of the health care institution assume and require multi-vectorial leadership behavior (concerning transforming a group of employees into a team, ensuring their professional development and growth, searching for effective ways to resolve conflicts, development of emotional leadership, formation of a strong corporate culture, etc.).
To argue the vector type of the transformation of the health care institution into a leading organization in terms of a symbolic frame, we used the results of a questionnaire survey of employees of the Kovel CDTMA. They showed that the motivating factors for the medical staff to work well are: awareness of the importance of their work, participation in achieving the results of the structural unit and the enterprise in general, the ability to implement their own professional knowledge and skills. This was indicated by 31.9 %, 36.8 % and 37.6 % of respondents, respectively.
Conclusions. Organizational leadership is aimed at streamlining the behavior of the institution (primarily through the organization of its activities) as a social system (a staff) and individual members of the team in order to ensure their functional capacity. It is also a process of initiating changes in the activities of the health care institution and its subsystems, when the organization of activities allows to implement these changes in the work of the institution, which further contributes to the improvement of organization of its activities.
