Among teaching, private, and social security hospitals, one of each group was included in the research thorough simple sampling method. The data are presented by descriptive statistics.

 Results: The mean scores of studied hospitals: teaching, social security and private in "organizational leadership," dimension were 26%, 32% and 21% respectively in " citizenship and public responsibility," dimensions were 29%, 39% and 18% respectively, and in "creativity, risk, and innovation" dimension were 26%, 32%, and 22% respectively.

Conclusion: According to our findings, the teaching hospital and the private hospital have both started permanent improvements in a few number of their leadership dimensions. The social security hospital, however, has showed a permanent improvement in a wide spectrum of its leadership dimensions.
