  • Workplace Environment Studies

Background:

  • First-line nurse managers balance clinical, administrative, and managerial duties.
  • Their organizational power may not align with their extensive responsibilities.
  • Business literature indicates workspaces influence power and status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between the working environment and the power/status of first-line nurse managers.
  • To offer an original perspective on nurse managers' organizational power through workspace observation.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving observation of 20 Australian rural nurse managers' workspaces.
  • Semi-structured interviews were used to explore nurse managers' roles and organizational power.
  • Observational data, comprising detailed researcher notes, underwent thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Nurse managers' workspaces were found to be suboptimal.
  • Insufficient physical space and resources hindered effective task management.
  • Findings were analyzed through the lens of Kanter's theory of organizational power.

Conclusions:

  • Inadequate physical workspaces negatively impact both functionality and organizational power for nurse managers.
  • Recommendations are proposed for workspace enhancements to better align with nurse manager roles.
  • Organizational support decisions for nurse managers should consider workspace adequacy.
