Abstract
Human resources have a significant role in improving organizational performance specifically in healthcare institutions. This study aimed to study the hospital staff perception toward power distance in 2018. A descriptive study was conducted among 50 hospital staff. A standard questionnaire developed by Hofstede consisted of 31 questions in seven domains including hierarchy, reward, climate, communication, decision making, learning and management was applied to gather data. Study findings showed a low level of power distance perceived by employees. The most inequality perceived by study staff belonged to decision making aspect and the method of applying managerial authority in the organization. Applying strategies to improve staff participation in work decisions and job responsibilities would help organizations maintain and develop employees with positive perception toward justice.
