“…In a learning culture, employees are encouraged to freely ask questions and share information about their roles (Schutz, Counte, & Meurer, 2007), which allows team members to have a better understanding of other team members' roles and responsibilities. Empirical studies have found that when team leaders meet and discuss ways to improve collaboration, the effort enhances understanding of the roles of others (Horak, Guarino, Knight, & Kweder, 1991), and therefore hypotheses are proposed as follows:…”

Patient safety improvement through management has been a prime issue since 2000, when the Institute of Medicine reported that preventable mismanagement was responsible for the majority of medical errors. Learning culture, interdisciplinary action teams, and punitive culture have been discussed as viable ways to address these errors. While these individual factors have been found to be significant, we have yet to understand the interactions of these elements. The role of leadership, which has been overlooked, is critical to facilitate or constrain these elements. The interactions of these three elements and the role of leadership were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Our finding revealed the three elements were closely knitted, and leadership roles had considerable impact in nurturing learning culture and constraining punitive culture, which in turn enhanced patient safety.

“…Work processes and relationships as well as most patient and nurse outcomes are group level phenomena (Leveck & Jones, 1996;Verran, Gerber, & Milton, 1995). Peer and interdisciplinary relationships, patient and nurse satisfaction, decreased patient mortality and incidence of adverse events are products of group interactions (Amos, Hu, & Herrick, 2005;Firth-Cozens, 2001;Horak, Guarino, Knight, & Kweder, 1991). To improve the work environment, perceptions, attributes, and characteristics of productive, satisfying unit work environments must be assessed at the group level.…”

Accurate assessment of clinical nurses' work environments: Response rate needed

Improvement of hospital unit work environments is key to quality patient care, productivity, nurse retention, and job satisfaction. Accurate measurement of such environments is necessary prior to introduction and evaluation of improvement structures and strategies. Characteristics and attributes of work environments are group level phenomena. Accurate assessment of these phenomena requires survey response rates of sufficient size to ensure sample representativeness and data that can reliably be aggregated to group level. What is the sufficient response rate? This question was answered through psychometric testing of five random samples from the population of 23 M.D. Anderson Cancer Center clinical units that had 100% response rates on an environmental survey. Response rates of 40% or more had acceptable psychometric properties for unit-specific scales.
