This paper reports evidence of a direct relationship between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction as they are linked in the balanced scorecard. The objective was to propose a framework that shows the linkage between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction and to undertake some preliminary testing of this framework. An empirical study was undertaken in an airline business which investigated these relationships between employee and customer satisfaction and the correlations between these performance measures. The relationship between the key drivers of employee satisfaction and the key drivers of customer satisfaction was also investigated. The study provides empirical evidence supporting several linkages.

The balanced scorecard is a framework that organizations follow in aligning the organization strategy, communicate organization’s mission, prioritize projects, services and products as well as monitoring and measuring the advancement towards attaining the strategic objectives or targets. The overall organizational performance of Kenyatta National Hospital is still not up to standard even though it is anticipated to established high health-care standards offered to the public so that private and public hospitals can follow. Reports have revealed that cancer, heart, and kidney patients receive delayed treatment. In addition, the hospital is said to lack enough functional specialized medical equipment as well as inadequate financial support, industrial unrests, patients overcrowding, claims of medical negligence and poor service delivery. Therefore, it a major concern to the government and other stakeholders. Based on these challenges, Kenyatta National Hospital introduced a five-year strategic plan 2013 to 2018 centred on the Balanced Scorecard approach. It was within this context that the study sought to establish the influence of balanced scorecard perspectives on organizational performance of Kenyatta national hospital. The study was guided by the following specific objectives; to find out whether focus on customer perspective, financial perspective, internal business processes perspective, learning and growth perspective influence the performance of KNH Kenya. The study was also guided by Stakeholder theory, Resource based view theory and institutional theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design with quantitative techniques. The target population for the study were 80 management staff of KNH. The sample size for the study was calculated to be 67. The study used stratified random sampling procedure and simple random sampling to recruit a sample that represented the target population. Data was collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire to capture participants insight on balanced scorecard perspectives and the overall organizational performance. Their responses on several items were scored and the scores were used in bivariate analysis and Multiple regression analysis. Descriptive statistics like measures of central tendency were used for continuous data while frequencies were used for categorical data. The data analysis was done using SPSS version 23. These results show that financial perspective and customer perspectives focus were statistically significant predictor of organizational performance at (p<0.05) while internal business process and learning and growth were not statistically significant when regressed together. An R squared of 0.593 which implied that focusing on all of the balanced scorecard perspectives contributed up to 59.3% of organizational performance. The study concludes that focus on balanced scorecard perspectives have a positive influence on organizational performance. However, there are variation on the magnitude of influence among the perspective. Therefore, the balanced scorecard can be used as a strategic management tool in public facilities and not only as a measurement tool. The study recommends that KNH should continue using the balanced scorecard and other public hospitals or institutions should also adopt it. The continuous usage and new adoption of the balanced scorecard would ensure better organizational performance.

Abstract. This study is purposed to develop the Analysis of balanced scorecard based performance measurement at the Wolter Mongisidi Hospital, Manado. This study consists of empirical surveys based on comprehensive questionnaires, followed by individual and in-depth interviews, as well as the analysis of relevant documents. The data were collected from administrative and healthcare staff located at selected departements in Wolter Mongisidi Hospital. The interview participants were selected from the staff and healthcare personnels who are actively engaged in performance measurement activities. Triangulation was pursued through the multiple sources of evidences. The findings of the study are beneficial in terms of the lessons learned for managerial practices. They provide useful knowledge and understanding of the balanced scorecard based performance measurement in public hospital, particularly Wolter Mongisidi Hospital, Manado. The study contributed to literature in terms of the development of a performance measurement model. The modified performance measurement model is intended to make it easier for the hospital to engage in the performance measurement process, particularly in measuring performance indicators by using the balanced scorecard. The proposed performance measurement model may assist Wolter Mongisidi Hospital to carry out their performance measurement reporting and eventually could provide a positive impact on accreditation status. This study also presents a knowledge base for further research in similar studies and expands the findings in the context of public hospitals in Indonesia.Keywords: Performance measurement, balanced scorecard, financial perspective, customer perspective, internal process perspective, growing and learning perspective.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengukuran kinerja berbasis balanced scorecard di Rumah Sakit Wolter Mongisidi, Manado.
