“…Our study supports that job rotation created more knowledgeable nurses with a higher skill level (Chen et al, ; Järvi & Uusitalo, ; Jaturanonda et al, ; Mohan & Gomathi, ). Moreover, we also found job rotation to create recognition of peers (Pinhatti, ), increased influence and gave insight into peaks throughout the day while opening a way to communicate curiosity, questions or frustrations in relation to “the other ward.”…”

Aims and objectives To explore gains and impacts of job rotation through the experiences of involved nursing personnel responsible for different parts of care during the elective orthopaedic patient's pathway. Background When patients undergo elective orthopaedic surgery, they encounter nurses from different wards. So far, job rotation has only been described through the experiences of the job rotating nurses. This study includes all involved nursing personnel and bases the job rotation on the pathway of the elective orthopaedic patient. Design This study has an exploratory‐descriptive and qualitative approach and follows the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines. Method A total of nine focus groups including 16 informants were conducted before, during and after a 5‐month trial period. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The findings show that existing work structures and work content combined with a lack of a common understanding of the job rotation impacted the expectations of the nursing personnel regarding (in)dependence, individual and collegial involvement and investment, as well as the collegial belongingness expressed through terminologies of “home” and “culture.” The personal gains among the job rotating nurses showed increased knowledge, skills and influence. When knowledge was shared and exchanged, the job rotating nurses became “cultural translators” of the care to the elective orthopaedic patient. Conclusions This study shows personal gains among the job rotating nurses through increased knowledge, skills and influence as well as collegial gains by sharing and exchanging knowledge. When this exchange was utilised, the job rotation was evaluated positively, and contrary, when not utilised the job rotation had a negative impact on the work environment. Relevance to clinical practice Job rotation among nurses following the care of the patient's pathway can be a way of promoting patient safety and quality through increased knowledge across wards by including every aspect and element of the patient's pathway.

“…A previous study conducted in the USA reported that 42.7% of the assessed companies used job rotation (Jorgensen, Davis, Kotowski, Aedla, & Dunning, 2005). Several studies have explored the issue of job rotation among various job populations (Arya & Mittendorf, 2006;Chang, Tai & Shih, 2008;Jaturanonda, Nanthavanij, & Chongphaisal, 2006). A job rotation is a specific period of time during which an employee of a unit or department receives on-the-job training to learn new skills (Jaturanonda et al, 2006;Seibert, Kraimer, & Liden, 2001).…”

“…Typically, one of the requirements to get managerial position in public sector is university level education. Furthermore, the working experience and years in an organization seem to be more appreciated in public sector than in private sector [28]. Differences in decision-making experience might be due to different phrasing of a question: in private sector interviewer emphasized phrase decisionmaking of modernization, but in public sector interviews question was in this kind of decision-making.…”

Software systems are evolving all the time. Important decisions are needed to make whether to modernize a system or totally replace it. Group decisions have become popular also in this kind of decision-making. In this study we are interested why groups are used. We also want to find out are there any differences in public and private sector decisions. Our research approach is qualitative. Research material is collected by semi-structured interviews and analysis is done using content analysis and identifying themes. As a main result, we found out that groups are used to get expert opinions, get users' opinions, share the responsibility and for special reasons. There were similarities in public and private sector decision-making. We suggest that groups are partly used to make decisions as good as possible but, on the other hand, groups are used to avoid responsibility.
