Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explores how regional health managers in the Philippines exercise power during the implementation of a new Indigenous Peoples health policy, highlighting that their ability to influence the process is affected by organizational context, leadership, and personal commitment.
  • Power is rooted in perceptions, decisions, and actions of health system actors, with sources of power analyzed using frameworks that categorize both where power comes from and why it is exercised, such as organizational influence and personal motivation.
  • Findings indicate that weak leadership and organizational challenges limited the policy's integration, but some managers' personal commitment and indigeneity helped them use their discretionary power to support and mobilize the policy efforts.
