“…The reality of organizational life for nurses has rarely reflected high levels of decision‐making power in change initiatives (Blackstock, Salami, & Cummings, 2018; Kuokkanen et al., 2007). In contrast, increased perceived abilities to engage in and influence the change process have been shown to decrease nurse stress and burnout (McGibbon, Peter, & Gallop, 2010; Sayed & Ali, 2017). Similarly, several researchers have found that increased levels of power in decision‐making decrease staff stress associated with change, heighten staff engagement in change initiatives, and increase the likelihood of successful and sustainable change (Beauvais & Spahn, 2019; Ead, 2015; Fugate, Prussia, & Kinicki, 2012; Peacock, 2017).…”
