Effects of Healthcare Service Provider’s Organizational Socialization and Support on Patients’ Well-Being

This paper explores the effects of a healthcare service provider’s organizational socialization and support on patients’ well-being. It also addresses how patients’ well-being is affected by their perceived self-efficacy and outcome expectations. A cross-sectional field survey was carried out among 329 patients of a therapeutic and rehabilitation service provider based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The results indicate that both the organizational socialization and support of a service provider have positive influences on patients’ outcome expectations, which has a positive effect on their well-being. The results further show that the self-efficacy beliefs of healthcare customers have implications for their well-being.
