Aim: This study aimed to explore the influence of leader mindfulness on hindrance stress in nurses. Based on the social mindfulness framework, the mediating effects of nurses' perceptions of their leaders' perspective taking and empathic concern and how they are moderated by mindfulness of nurses were investigated.
Design:A time-lagged cross-sectional survey was conducted.
Methods:The convenience sampling method was adopted. Data were collected at three time points from January to September 2020. A total of 393 paired datasets of nurses and their leaders were collected from 28 Chinese 3A grade hospitals. SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used for data analysis and hypotheses testing.
Results:(1) Leader mindfulness significantly reduced nurse hindrance stress. (2) Both nurses' perceptions of their leaders' perspective taking and empathic concern mediated the relationship between leader mindfulness and nurse hindrance stress.Empathic concern was more effective than perspective taking in the process of leader mindfulness for reducing nurse hindrance stress. Nurses' perceptions of their leaders' perspective taking completely mediated the relationship between empathic concern and nurse hindrance stress. (3) Nurse mindfulness moderated the relationship between leader mindfulness and nurses' perceptions of their leaders' empathic concern but had no significant effect on the relationship between leader mindfulness and nurses' perceptions of their leaders' perspective taking.
Conclusion:Leader mindfulness was an important interpersonal factor for reducing nurse hindrance stress. Nurses' perceptions of their leaders' perspective taking and empathic concern were pivotal mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of leader mindfulness. Nurse mindfulness is a situational factor that contributes to the effectiveness of leader mindfulness. Impact: Hospitals can benefit from mindfulness interventions by improving the mindfulness of leaders and nurses. Nurse managers are encouraged to promote social mindfulness, which will enable perspective taking and empathic concern by nurses and thus reduce hindrance stress on nurses during the pandemic.
Aim
This study explores the influence of team mindfulness on nurses' presenteeism. The mediation effect of perceived empathic concern and perceived insider status and the moderating effect of organisational formalization are assessed.
Background
Nurses are prone to presenteeism. Few studies have explored the influence of the organisational environment on nurses' presenteeism. Studies that consider organisational, work‐related and person‐related factors on the decision‐making process influencing nurses' presenteeism are scarce.
Methods
Using a cross‐sectional survey, data from 396 nurses were gathered from three time points and multiple regression analyses were used to test each hypothesis.
Results
(a) Team mindfulness reduces nurses' presenteeism. (b) Both perceived empathic concern and perceived insider status mediate the relationship between team mindfulness and nurses' presenteeism. (c) Organisational formalization exerts a positive moderating effect on the relationship between team mindfulness and perceived empathic concern.
Conclusions
Team mindfulness reduces nurses' presenteeism through affective (perceived empathic concern) and cognitive (perceived insider status) sensemaking paths. Organisational formalization is a situational factor to improve the effectiveness of team mindfulness.
Implications for Nursing Management
Nurse managers need to devote themselves to cultivating team mindfulness, building an atmosphere to promote perceived empathic concern and perceived insider status, and promoting a formal organisational structure.
389 listed companies from Shenzhen SMEs board in China are taken as samples, and questionnaires and interviews methods are employed in this paper. First, the OLS models are established to analyses the impacts of firmgovernment relationship (FGR) and firm-bank relationship (FBR) on bank loan rates, loan costs, loan terms and loan default rates of SMEs. Then a Logit model is established to explore the substitution effect of loan structure of SMEs between FGR and FBR. The research results show that both FGR and FBR can effectively optimize the loan structures of SMEs under the atmosphere of Chinese social network relationship, but the role of government is obviously stronger than bank, and the FGR has the substitution effect on FBR.
Keywords-firm-government relationship (FGR); firm-bank relationship (FBR); bank loansI.
