Straipsnyje analizuojama Lietuvos asmens sveikatos prieziuros istaigu vadovu kaita ir politizacija 1997-2013 m. Politizacijos fenomenas yra daugiausia tyrinetas nacionaliniu lygiu. Taeiau sutariama, kad esmines priezastys, kodel vyksta politizacija, vis dar nera aiskios. Ziniu apie sveikatos apsaugos sistemos politizacija trukumas yra problema, nes politizuotu asmens sveikatos prieziuros istaigu vadovu skaieius virsija 50 %. Straipsnyje parodoma, kad politizacijos masta geriausiai paaiskina ne partines sistemos stabilumas (meru ir asmens sveikatos prieziuros ministru kaita), o vidiniai asmens sveikatos prieziuros vadovu motyvai. Todel ateities tyrimams reikia daugiau demesio skirti ne politizacijos 'is virsaus zemyn', o politizacijos 'is apaeios aukstyn' studijoms This article deals with the change and politicisation of the senior levels of management in the Lithuanian personal health care organisations in the period 1997-2013. A lack of understanding of the underlying mechanism for politicisation of the healthcare system is a problem, as the number of politicised managers in personal health care organisations exceeds 50%. The analysis revealed that the scope of politicisation is best explained not by the instability of the party system (the change of mayors and ministers for health care) but by the inner motivation of managers. The managers of personal health care organisations may be eager to engage in political activities, as belonging to a party ensures greater job stability. Therefore, the future studies need to focus on the 'bottom-up' rather than 'top-down' type of politicisation. Adapted from the source document.
