This book was released on 2014 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are longstanding and growing concerns about the demanding nature of work environments that affect nurses' health, job satisfaction and provision of quality care. Specifically in healthcare settings, there is the need for leaders to create supportive work environments to avert these negative trends and increase nurse job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of managers' resonant leadership and nurses' structural empowerment on their job satisfaction. A secondary analysis of data collected from a non-experimental survey design using a sample of 1216 registered nurses from nine provinces in Canada was conducted. Structural empowerment partially mediated the relationship between resonant leadership and job satisfaction. In addition, resonant leadership and structural empowerment explained a total of 32% whilst controlling for age, education and work setting of the variance in job satisfaction (F(5, 1169)=131.78, pR2=0.36). The findings of this study suggested that resonant leaders are instrumental in creating structurally empowering environments that contribute to nurse job satisfaction. Therefore, a focus on developing resonant leadership skills among nurse leaders in healthcare organizations will advance the creation of healthy work environments that promote job satisfaction and retention of nurses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first practical guide for nurses on how to incorporate the knowledge, skills, and tools of Strength-Based Nursing Care (SBC) into everyday practice. The text, based on a model developed by the McGill University Nursing Program, signifies a paradigm shift from a deficit-based model to one that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.

Download or read book The Influence of Work Environment and Structural Empowerment on Job Satisfaction Among Thai Nurses written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thailand, like many other countries, is experiencing a shortage of nurses. The shortage has an impact on both patients (i.e. falls and mortality) and nurses (i.e. burnout and dissatisfaction). Retaining current nurses is the best option for addressing the shortage of nurses in Thailand by improving their job satisfaction. This study was conducted to examine whether the Nursing Worklife Model (NWL Model) proposed by Laschinger (2008) can explain job satisfaction among Thai nurses. Data were collected from 426 registered nurses in 2 public hospitals in Thailand. The single composite indicator structural equation model (CISE) with adjustment for measurement errors was used to analyze the data. Findings reveal that work environment explained 22% of job satisfaction. Adding structural empowerment increased the explanatory power of job satisfaction to about 43%. However, fit indices were weak in both models. All relationships in the models were as hypothesized except for the path from the foundation of the nursing model of care to staffing and resources adequacy which was in the hypothesized direction but not statistically significant. Two subscales of the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), participation in hospital affairs and foundation of the nursing model of care, each contained an item that poorly explained the construct of the subscale. This study supports that work environment and structural empowerment are predictors of job satisfaction among hospital nurses. Applying the NWL Model for job satisfaction does not have a good fit with Thai nurses. To better explain job satisfaction among Thai nurses, modification of the NWL Model is needed by incorporating other confounding factors. Findings suggest further investigation of the construct validity of the work environment instrument. As leadership is a key to improve job satisfaction, actionable solutions should be focused on the roles of leadership. Inclusion of structural empowerment increases explanatory to job satisfaction suggests that further research may further explore the model by focusing on the effect of structural empowerment on job satisfaction alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract The purpose of this correlational cross-sectional study was to explore the relationship between workplace empowerment and job satisfaction of nurses working in WRHA hospitals, following major organizational restructuring. Restructuring and downsizing in healthcare are not considered new phenomena. Healthcare organizations underwent numerous reforms in the early and mid-1990s. Two decades later, the healthcare sector is once again the target of restructuring. In 2017, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) experienced considerable restructuring as the provincial government attempted to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare delivery to deal with budget short falls and improve quality of care. There has been minimal effort to understand the influences of structural empowerment on job satisfaction in more dynamic organizational contexts, such as organizational restructuring, especially, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Kanter's Structural Theory of Organizational Empowerment (1977, 1993) is a framework that explains empowerment within the context of the organization. This study was conducted using a cross-sectional descriptive correlational study. An online survey methodology was used for this study. A total of 177 respondents (n=177) completed 3 questionnaires - Condition of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-ll, the Mueller and McCloskey Satisfaction Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. The results of the study revealed that overall scores of structural empowerment, each subscale of structural empowerment was positively related to job satisfaction, and mandated overtime was negatively related to job satisfaction. This study furthers our understanding and knowledge about the importance of providing an empowered workplace environment for nurses following organizational restructuring, and its potential to impact job satisfaction.
Download or read book Resonant Leadership written by Richard Boyatzis and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others' emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.

Abstract: Kanter''s theory (1993) maintains that access to empowerment structure would lead to positive organizational behaviour and that individual differences are inconsequential. This study proposed that Chinese cultural value of social orientation needs to be considered when applying the theory to nursing practice in Hong Kong. Based on the perspective of person-situation interaction, it was also hypothesized that need for empowerment and self-esteem would act as moderators in the empowerment process. In this study, job satisfaction and psychological well-being were used as outcome measures to evaluate the empowerment process. A cross-sectional survey research was conducted to test the hypotheses formulated in this study. Reliability and validity of the measuring instruments were first established in a preliminary study. All measurements were incorporated in a standardized questionnaire which also contained items on sociodemographic characteristics. The participants were Chinese frontline nurses (N = 556) from different areas of practice in an acute hospital, of which 83% of them were aged between 25 and 39. Education of the participants ranged from hospital-based training to Master degree. A great majority (86%) of the respondents were females. Confirmatory factor analysis supported Kanter''s four-factor model (i.e., opportunity, information, support, and resources) of nursing empowerment. Availability of formal and informal power was found to facilitate access to empowerment structure. Measures of empowerment were of satisfactory reliability and construct validity. Access to empowerment structure was associated with subjective feelings of being empowered. This feeling of psychological empowerment mediated the impact of structural empowerment on outcome measures. Nurses with higher education or higher nurse rank reported greater access to empowerment structures. They also exhibited greater job satisfaction and better psychological well-being. Less experienced nurses reported greater access to opportunity and supports, whereas more experienced nurses exhibited greater job satisfaction and psychological well-being. The association of structural empowerment with job satisfaction was less significant among nurses who held stronger view of social orientation, but these nurses enjoyed better positive well-being with greater access to empowerment structures. Structural empowerment was associated with positive outcomes among nurses who reported high need for empowerment, but not among those whose need was low. With access to empowerment structure, nurses with high self-esteem reported a higher level of job satisfaction than did those with lower self-esteem. However, structural empowerment promoted positive well-being among nurses with moderate self-esteem, but not among those of high self-esteem. The impact of structural empowerment was negative among nurses of low self-esteem. This study confirmed the applicability of Kanter''s theory of structural empowerments among Hong Kong frontline nurses whose ecological culture was predominantly collectivistic. However, to implement structural empowerment effectively, the model needs to be expanded to include cultural-personality factors such as social orientation, need for empowerment, and self-esteem. In view of the substantial contribution of global

This book was released on 2015 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine structural empowerment's impact on nursing outcomes in MagnetTM and non-MagnetTM organizations. This study explored structural empowerment's influence on two quality sensitive indicators, job satisfaction and intent to stay, while also examining structural empowerment's impact on two quality outcomes, perceptions about medication errors and quality of care. This research compared these outcome measures in MagnetTM and non-MagnetTM facilities. Four instruments used for this study include The Conditions of Work Effectiveness-II, Job Satisfaction Scale, Anticipated Turnover Scale, and the Practice Environment Scale. Twenty-one healthcare organizations participated in this research. Twelve organizations were MagnetTM affiliated whereas nine were non-MagnetTM. A total of 1003 nurses from MagnetTM hospitals completed the survey and 402 nurses from non-MagnetTM hospitals completed the survey. Nurses perceived their work environment to be moderately empowering in both MagnetTM (M = 20.6; SD = 3.81) and non-MagnetTM (M = 20.6; SD = 3.86) organizations. MagnetTM nurses reported their work environment to be satisfying (N = 145.89; SD = 26.98), never to rarely having a medication error (92.2%), and provided excellent care (60.6%). Non-MagnetTM nurses reported their work environment to be satisfying (N = 146.36; SD = 27.79), never to rarely having a medication error (90.5%), and provided excellent care (56.5%). Finally, nurses perceived that they would slightly agree that they would not likely be terminating their employment in their present job role."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Linking Psychological Capital Structural Empowerment Perceived Staffing Adequacy and Job Satisfaction to New Graduate Nurses Job Satisfaction written by Lisa M. P. Stam and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports indicate that new graduate nurses (NGNs) are experiencing stressful work environments, affecting job satisfaction and retention in current positions. New nurses are a health human resource that must be retained in order to ensure the replacement of retiring nurses, and to address impending shortages. As a result, creating supportive work environments that promote NGNs' job satisfaction may play an important role in the retention and recruitment of skilled, satisfied nursing staff. The purpose of this study was to test the relationships between new graduates' self-reported psychological capital (PsyCap), access to empowerment structures, perceptions of staffing adequacy and job satisfaction. A secondary analysis of data collected using a non-experimental predictive survey design was conducted on a sample of 205 NGN's working in the province of Ontario. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the study hypothesis. Results indicated that PsyCap, structural empowerment and perceptions of adequate nurse staffing were significant independent predictors of NGNs' job satisfaction (= .38, = .50 and =.17 respectively), explaining 41% of the total variance. Study findings suggest that support for personal and structural resources in the workplace will enhance overall job satisfaction in new nurses.
