Abstract
This article presents the results of a study on the introduction of sessional fees remuneration for physicians working in Quebec long-term care hospitals. More generally, this research was concerned with the determinants of the capacity of an organization to implement an innovation. Both a political and a structural model of analysis were empirically probed. We found strong support for the political model and moderate support for the structural model. This article contributes to the understanding of the relative contribution of structural and political determinants in the implementation of changes in organizations.
