“…Additionally, the context not only influenced team typology, but also the ability of these teams to identify common goals and to foster collective working and commitment towards achieving unified aims. Ideally, these goals ought to be centred on the nature of its institutional mission and vision statements, under which shared values can be drawn to motivate interprofessional team performance [38,39].…”

Background Within intensive care settings such as neonatal intensive care units, effective intra- and interprofessional teamwork has been linked to a significant reduction of errors and overall improvement in the quality of care. In Kenya, previous studies suggest that coordination of care among healthcare teams providing newborn care is poor. Initiatives aimed at improving intra- and interprofessional teamwork in healthcare settings largely draw on studies conducted in high-income countries, with those from resource-constrained low and middle countries, particularly in the context of newborn care lacking. In this study, we explored the nature of intra- and interprofessional teamwork among health care providers in newborn units (NBUs) of three hospitals in Kenya, and the professional and contextual dynamics that shaped their interactions. Methods This exploratory qualitative study was conducted in three hospitals in Nairobi and Muranga Counties in Kenya. We adopted an ethnographic approach, utilizing both in-depth interviews (17) and non-participant observation of routine care provision in NBUs (250 observation hours). The study participants included: nurses, nursing students, doctors, and trainee doctors. All the data were thematically coded in NVIVO 12. Results The nature of intra- and interprofessional teamwork among healthcare providers in the study newborn units is primarily shaped by broader contextual factors and varying institutional contexts. As a result, several team types emerged, loosely categorized as the ‘core’ team which involves providers physically present in the unit most times during the work shift; the emergency team and the temporary ad-hoc teams which involved the ‘core’ team, support staff students and mothers. The emergence of these team types influenced relationships among providers. Overall, institutionalized routines and rituals shaped team relations and overall functioning. Conclusions Poor coordination and the sub-optimal nature of intra-and interprofessional teamwork in NBUs are attributed to broader contextual challenges that include low staff to patient ratios and institutionalized routines and rituals that influenced team norming, relationships, and team leadership. Therefore, mechanisms to improve coordination and collaboration among healthcare teams in these settings need to consider contextual dynamics including institutional cultures while also targeting improvement of team-level processes including leadership development and widening spaces for more interaction and better communication.

In the light of the recent pandemic, remote working has become an inseparable part of our lives and a critical factor for many organizations. The article aims to review the last 10 years (2010–2020) of remote working research publications (in Business and Management Studies). We used a bibliometric analysis of 1,996 publications from the Web of Science. We created a conceptual structure map to describe core concepts of remote working research. We used the historical direct citation network to show the most important research. Based on our results, the USA, the United Kingdom and China are the leading countries. Results identified two historical areas of research—the first cluster connected by the topic of the multicultural dimension and the second cluster addressing issues of trust and communication, knowledge sharing, virtualness and leadership. The identified core concepts are organization and remote working capabilities, behaviour in remote working, consequences of remote working, management issues, home and gender. We conclude by summarizing the results of the bibliometric study into a theoretical framework for adaptation to remote working that will provide direction for future research and practical insights for policy and organizations.

“…Leaders who are effective should provide or arrange coaching to create a positive working environment where people realize their true potential and build upon their strengths. Leaders' tasks include creating positive spaces for members to do their jobs effectively, to build teams who can work together as a unit, and to coach their groups to effectively accomplish their goals (West, 2004). Nutt demonstrates coaching through his emphasis on teamwork and building teams.…”
