“…Besides the staffing issue, mounting evidence from past studies has upheld the role of management in supporting nursing work. By offering support and maintaining open communications, management leaders can help counteract nurses' emotional exhaustion resulting from their demanding work environment (Bakker et al, 2000;Schmieder and Smith, 1996). Supervisory support was also noted to have a significant impact on reducing nurses' intention to leave the nursing profession (Van der Heijden et al, 2010).…”

“…Research on job stress in the field of psychology (e.g., Beehr et al, 2000;Ganster et al, 1986;Kaufman & Beehr, 1981) has mostly paid attention to the psychological outcomes of job stress such as anxiety, worry, depression and low job satisfaction, which have been called strains 2 (Hunter & Thatcher, 2007). In contrast, the physiological literature (e.g., Jing, Sheng, Jun-Quan, & Wei, 2007;Schmieder & Smith, 1996) has examined strains of job stress such as heart disease and blood pressure. This stream of research interest is described as the 'stress-strain relationship.'…”

The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction, and analyze the effect of social support on this relationship. In particular, this study analyzes the effects of three types of job stress -role overload, role ambiguity and bad physical environment -and two sources of social supportsupervisor and coworker support. Regression analysis was performed using data from a survey of 619 police officers in Korea. The findings from the analysis are as follows. First, role ambiguity and bad physical environment are negatively related to job satisfaction. Second, social support has a direct effect on job satisfaction but has no moderating effect. Third, coworker support is more effective in enhancing job satisfaction than supervisor support.

“…Day workers worked on outpatient clinics where colleagues remained the same, as compared with three‐shift workers. Schmieder and Smith 32 found in their study on the effects of social support on nurses that social support from the supervisor and colleagues protects the nurses from stress and adds to job satisfaction in shift workers more than in those working regular hours. Unden 33 found that absenteeism and psychosomatic symptoms experienced by workers were associated with the lack of social support in the working community.…”

Nursing takes place in a working community and the working community influences the quality of nursing. The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of nurses' individual characteristics, working conditions, and the ward sisters' management skills on working climate and team spirit. Thirty-seven wards of two Finnish hospitals took part in the study, and 717 nurses answered the questionnaire. Statistical analyses indicate that the ward sister's management skill is the best predictor of the climate and team spirit of the wards as perceived by nurses. The nurses' age, education, and working experience have no direct effect on the working community. Nurses who work by the day, who have plenty of further education and permanent employment, are most likely to be dissatisfied with the climate. According to the results, it is important that the ward sister provides sufficient opportunities for professional development, especially for those who are highly motivated to advance their careers. The ward sister can influence the ward's team spirit also by furthering operational preconditions of the ward.
