Management by Objectives (MBO)

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a systematic management approach for Zambian tertiary health students. It involves setting specific, measurable objectives collaboratively between managers and employees, then using these objectives to guide performance and assess results. Students learn to implement MBO in Zambian healthcare departments to align individual goals with organizational strategy, enhance motivation, and provide clear performance criteria. This knowledge is key for exams and for future leaders seeking a participatory and results-oriented management style that improves accountability, fosters employee development, and drives progress toward key health outcomes in Zambia's hospitals and clinics.
