Abstract

Organizational effectiveness is critical to success in any economy. In order to achieve increased and sustainable results, organizations need to execute strategy and engage employees. To create organizational effectiveness, business leaders need to focus on aligning and engaging their people, management systems, structure and capabilities (including organizational culture) to the strategy. This paper examined how health workers respond to changes in technology adopting competence management in enhancing organisational effectiveness. The result revealed that external environment of the organisation occasioned by changes in modern technology in health management assist in the enhancement of competency which leads to organisational efficiency. We therefore recommend that the use of modern technology as a means of achieving competency which leads to enhanced organisational efficiency should be rigorously pursued by government as well as management.
