Aims To propose a theoretical model of social loafing behaviours and to examine the effects of compulsory citizenship behaviours and turnover intention on nurses' social loafing behaviour. Method This cross‐sectional study included 264 nurses working in public hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. The data were gathered by using a snowball sampling method and analysed using descriptive statistical analyses, F test, t test, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple and hierarchical linear regression analyses. Results Results indicated that compulsory citizenship behaviours were positively associated with turnover intention and social loafing. Turnover intention fully mediated the relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviours and social loafing. Conclusion Nurses who exhibit compulsory citizenship behaviours have developed turnover intentions to conserve their well‐being, which led to social loafing as a resource recovery tactic. Implications for Nursing Management Training should be provided for managers and nurses to raise awareness about the possible negative effects of compulsory citizenship behaviours. To manage social loafing and turnover intention, effective and proactive solution‐oriented strategies should be implemented.
BackgroundCompulsory citizenship behaviors (CCBs) are increasingly endorsed and expected of workers in contexts where managerial worker protections are low and performance demands on workers are high. Although studies on compulsory citizenship behaviors have shown a significant increase in recent years, the literature still lacks a comprehensive meta-analysis. To fill this gap the purpose of this study is to synthesize the collective outcomes of prior quantitative research on CCBs with the objective of identifying the factors linked to the concept and offering a primary reference for future researchers.MethodsForty-three different correlates with CCBs were synthesized. The dataset of this meta-analysis consists of 53 independent samples with a sample size of 17.491, contributing to 180 effect sizes. PRISMA flow diagram and PICOS framework were used for the study design.ResultResults showed only gender and age were significant among demographic characteristics related to CCBs. Correlates between CCBs and counterproductive workplace behaviors, felt obligation, work-family conflict, organizational-based self-esteem, organizational cynicism, burnout, anger toward the organization, and work alienation were found as large. We also found turnover intention, moral disengagement, careerism, abusive supervision, citizenship pressure, job stress, facades of conformity, and feeling trusted to be moderately related to CCBs. Next, there was a small relationship between CCBs and social loafing. On the other hand, LMX, psychological safety, organizational identification, organizational justice, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and job autonomy were found as significant deterrents of CCBs. These results suggest that CCBs flourish in contexts with low levels of worker protection and low road practices to people management.ConclusionIn sum, we found solid cumulative evidence that CCBs are a harmful and undesirable phenomenon for employees and organizations. Also, positive correlations of felt obligation, feeling trusted, and organization-based self-esteem with CCBs, showed that, contrary to general acceptance, positive factors could also cause CCBs. Lastly, we found CCBs as a dominant phenomenon in eastern culture.
Objective: The nursing image is built on a tripod of the public, nursing students, and nurses. Determining how each leg of this tripod perceives the nursing is crucial to improving the professional image. This study aimed to determine the nursing image perceptions among nurses at a private hospital group in Istanbul.Material-Method: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was carried out with 428 nurses at four private hospitals affiliated with a foundation university in Istanbul. Data were collected through a random sampling method using a self-administered questionnaire, including a personal information form, and The Image Scale for Nursing Profession. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis-H variance analysis. Results: Nurses generally perceived the nursing image as positive with a median score of 169 (160-177) out of 210. Nursing image for gender and professional status subscales was perceived more negatively than others, with median scores of 23 (19-28) and 19 (17-22), respectively. Nurses who were female (p=0.007), younger than 22 years (p=0.001), unwilling to re-choose nursing as a career (p=0.001), had professional experience less than a year (p=0.002), and worked more than 55 hours a week (p=0.000) perceived nursing image more negatively.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that nurses working at a private hospital group had positive perceptions of the nursing image at a high level, except in terms of gender and professional status. Reflecting a gender equality perspective on nursing management, employing only undergraduate nurses for nursing, and planning an effective work schedule are recommended.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of career management applications on career decisions, academic motivation, vocational outcome expectations and career decision regrets in nursing students. Material and Method:This study is in an experimental research design with pre-application and post-application control groups. The study data was collected from the application and control group by face-to-face interview technique. Before and after the application, the scales and Personal Data Sheet were applied to both groups for the content of the research. The data was evaluated in the SPSS 21 package program. Results:The data obtained before and after application were interpreted at the level of significance. There was a significant difference between career decision, career decision regret, career outcome expectation and academic motivation scores (p<0.05). Conclusion:Career management applications are effective in increasing the career decisions, academic motivation, vocational outcome expectations and in decreasing the career decision regrets.
