Impact of Bullying on RN Engagement in Hospitals

Abstract

This study examines the effects of bullying on Work Engagement (WE) in hospital-based registered nurses (RNs). Background: Empirical literature suggests that workplace bullying limits optimal levels of employee engagement. Little is known of the extent to which bullied RNs are engaged. Methods: A descriptive correlational survey of 500 nurses across US hospitals was conducted to examine the proposed theoretical model using the Workplace Bullying Inventory and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Results: Nationally, 30.5% of nurses reported that they were bullied over the prior 12 months. Attacks on work roles and tasks, bullying acts, were found to have the largest effect on WE (r =-.285, p = .000) in bivariate analysis. Conclusions: Bullying acts were associated with low levels of WE. This study provides leaders with evidence to facilitate positive factors that minimize the effects of bullying and drive employee engagement.

Performance of a membrane fabricated from high-density polyethylene waste for dye separation in water

“…Then, the membranes were coated with a thin layer of gold and inserted into the specimen chamber for analysis of the morphological structure. 35 SEM in this research was used to study the effect of the polymer concentration on the pore structure in the membranes. The average pore size on the membrane was measured using ImageJ soware.…”

Reducing the Negative Bullying at Work Impact on Employee Performance through Absorption and Team Work

Other factors that influence employee performance are concentration mental (Allameha et.…”
