Abstract

Hospital management faces generational tensions between traditional leaders (Baby Boomers, Generation X) favoring mechanistic structures and younger leaders (Millennials, Generation Z) embracing organic, technology-driven approaches, complicated by the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI). This article proposes a conceptual framework to harmonize these dynamics, fostering inclusive leadership in the AI era. Through a narrative literature review, it examines generational differences, AI’s role in healthcare management, and leadership strategies. Findings suggest that a hybrid leadership model, integrating AI-enabled decision support systems and cross-generational synergy, can enhance operational efficiency and patient outcomes, particularly in public hospitals. AI tools, such as predictive analytics, optimize budget management, while mentorship programs bridge experiential and technological expertise. The model balances mechanistic stability with organic innovation, leveraging transformational leadership to mitigate resistance to AI adoption. This study contributes to healthcare management literature by addressing the underexplored intersection of generational dynamics and AI, offering practical strategies like tailored AI training and cross-generational task forces. Future research should empirically test the model in diverse healthcare settings, exploring cultural influences on AI adoption. These insights provide a roadmap for adaptive, inclusive hospital governance, aligning with global trends in technology-driven healthcare.

Özet

Hastane yönetimi, yapısal olarak daha mekanik yaklaşımları benimseyen geleneksel liderler (Baby Boomer ve X kuşağı) ile daha organik, teknoloji odaklı yaklaşımları savunan genç liderler (Y kuşağı - Millennials ve Z kuşağı) arasında kuşaklar arası gerilimlerle karşı karşıyadır. Bu dinamik, yapay zekânın (YZ) sağlık sistemlerine hızla entegre edilmesiyle daha da karmaşık bir hâl almaktadır. Bu makale, YZ çağında kapsayıcı liderliği teşvik edecek kavramsal bir çerçeve önererek söz konusu kuşak farklarını uyumlu hale getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Anlatı tarzında bir literatür taraması aracılığıyla kuşaklar arası farklılıklar, sağlık yönetiminde YZ’nin rolü ve liderlik stratejileri incelenmiştir. Bulgular, YZ destekli karar sistemleriyle kuşaklar arası sinerjiyi birleştiren hibrit bir liderlik modelinin, özellikle kamu hastanelerinde operasyonel verimlilik ve hasta sonuçlarını artırabileceğini göstermektedir. Öngörücü analizler gibi YZ araçları bütçe yönetimini optimize ederken, mentorluk programları deneyimsel bilgi ile teknolojik yetkinlik arasındaki boşluğu kapatmaktadır. Önerilen model, mekanik yapının istikrarını korurken organik yenilikçiliği teşvik eder; dönüşümcü liderlik yaklaşımıyla YZ’ye karşı dirençleri azaltmayı hedefler. Bu çalışma, kuşak farklılıkları ile YZ’nin kesişimindeki boşluğu ele alarak sağlık yönetimi literatürüne katkı sunmakta ve özelleştirilmiş YZ eğitimi ile kuşaklar arası görev güçleri gibi pratik stratejiler önermektedir. Gelecek araştırmalar, bu modelin farklı sağlık kurumlarında kültürel etkilerle birlikte ampirik olarak test edilmesine odaklanmalıdır. Elde edilen bulgular, teknoloji odaklı sağlık hizmetlerinin küresel eğilimleriyle uyumlu, uyum sağlayabilen ve kapsayıcı bir hastane yönetişimi için yol haritası sunmaktadır.
