  • B is the coefficient each time.

  • The dependent variable is the hospital performance score; **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.

  • Model 1 adjusted for manager type.

  • Model 2 adjusted for variables of model 1 with additional adjustment for COO’s tenure.

  • Model 3 adjusted for variables of model 2 and hospital type.

  • Model 4 adjusted for variables of model 3 with additional adjustment for ownership.
