ABSTRACT:
This paper examined strategic planning and organizational performance in public healthcare establishments in Delta State-Nigeria. Specifically, do strategy formulation, environmental scanning, and strategy selection as dimensions of strategic planning significantly explain performance in healthcare establishments? This is against the backdrop of the demand on public healthcare organizations to deliver quality services and remain competitive in healthcare delivery market amidst private health institutions. To address this empirical question, the paper used a descriptive survey methodology involving 300 healthcare workers as the sample size. The results of the ordinary least square model formulated to capture the statistical link between the explanatory and the explained variables showed a substantial positive correlation and influence of the explanatory variables on organizational performance. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among other things, that management of public healthcare establishments should pay close attention to strategic planning as a way to establishing core competences and competitive advantage for optimal performance.
