    Increased nurse participation in decision-making did not significantly improve job satisfaction or attendance. This study examined staff nurses

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Organizational Psychology
    • Nursing Studies

    Background:

    • Staff nurse job satisfaction and attendance are critical for healthcare quality.
    • Understanding factors influencing these outcomes is essential for effective hospital management.
    • Participative management is often proposed as a strategy to improve staff morale and reduce absenteeism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of increased participation in decision-making on staff nurses' job satisfaction.
    • To assess the effect of participative management on staff nurses' attendance behavior.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention aimed at increasing nurse involvement in a hospital setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A field experimental study was conducted involving eight units of staff nurses at a large teaching hospital.

  • Four units implemented participative management strategies, while four served as control (contrast) units.
  • Repeated-measures analysis of variance and stepwise multiple regression were employed to analyze the data.

    • Main Results:

    • The one-year project found that increased nurse involvement in decision-making had insignificant effects on attendance behavior.
    • There were no significant improvements in job satisfaction related to work, supervision, or co-workers.
    • The intervention did not yield statistically significant changes in the measured outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased participation in decision-making, as implemented in this study, did not demonstrably enhance staff nurse job satisfaction or attendance.
    • Further research may be needed to explore alternative or refined participative management strategies in nursing.
    • The findings suggest that simply increasing involvement may not be sufficient to drive significant changes in nurse job attitudes and behavior.
