“…First, the instruments used in the present study seemed to be both valid and reliable as those used in previous nursing studies (e.g. Galdikiene et al, ; Spencer & McLaren, ; Trus et al, ). However, the rigidity dimension of organizational culture (OSC instrument) cannot be considered to be reliable in this research due to a negative ICC.…”

Health-care organizations differ from other institutions due to their unique structure and management. Organizational culture and climate are the key constructs that compose the organizational social context, and might have an impact on employees, such as nurse managers, and the organization itself. The aim of this study was to analyze the connections between organizational culture and climate and work-related empowerment, and also to present culture and climate profiles at team and organization levels. The research was carried out in Lithuania among 193 nurse managers in seven hospitals using a questionnaire that measured organizational culture and climate (Organizational Social Context instrument), and work-related empowerment (Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II and Work Empowerment Questionnaire). The findings showed that nurse managers were both structurally and psychologically empowered when the organizational culture was proficient and resistant, and the climate was engaged and functional. These results suggest that nurse managers are more likely to be empowered when there is an appropriate organizational culture and climate in the workplace. Creating an empowering work environment might have a positive impact on individual and organizational outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to present a model that leads school leaders' empowerment, utilizing the following variables: resources to reward, information management, instructional leadership, and knowledge of technology. A survey was sent to school leaders in the United States who were trained to use IBM Change Toolkit software. 304 school leaders answered this survey. A structural equation model was used to create the model. The model shows that the major contributors of school leaders' empowerment are instructional leadership and information management. In addition, knowledge of technology influenced information management, which in turn influenced their empowerment. Similarly, resources influenced instructional leadership, which in turn influenced empowerment.

“…This is a wakeup call for quality of care and patient safety ( 11 ). Nurses are expected to provide high quality care for their patients and empower them to independence, but providing such care depends on the amount of their professional power ( 12 ). Powerful nurses have more successful professional performance and will progress in their work.…”
