The Professional Nurse

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005).

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Professional Development
    • Organizational Behavior

    Background:

    • Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners require influence to advance their roles.
    • Political skill is a key competency for professional influence.
    • Understanding factors influencing political skill in NPD is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the self-perceived political skill of nursing professional development practitioners.
    • To identify predictors of political skill, particularly networking ability, among NPD practitioners without formal leadership roles.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative study involving 989 nursing professional development practitioners.
    • Self-assessment of political skill, including networking ability.
    • Regression analysis to identify predictors.

    Main Results:

    • NPD practitioners reported high-average overall political skill.
    • For practitioners without formal leadership positions, networking ability was significantly predicted by nursing professional development certification and holding a graduate degree or higher.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing professional development practitioners generally possess strong political skill.
    • Certification and advanced education are important for enhancing networking ability and influence in non-leadership roles.
    • NPD practitioners can improve influence through targeted education, certification, professional development, mentoring, and coaching.
