Abstract

The objective of this paper is to measure the worthiness which the compliance of governance norms will provide to public organizations. We introduce the principles of corporate governance that should characterize the function of public sector and our analysis focuses on public hospitals. Sending appropriate designed questionnaires to an adequate sample of Greek public hospitals, we measure and analyze the impact that the implementation of a corporate governance code would have to hospitals’ administration, control system and communication with stakeholders. According to research’s results the implementation of a corporate governance code by public hospitals could add value to the provided healthcare services.
