“…The US hospitals showed better scores in this dimension (54%) (Mardon et al ., ). Inadequate nurse staffing and retention are major challenges to the Jordanian healthcare system (Darawad, ; Al‐Hussami et al ., ). These challenges may be caused by various factors, such as a lack of financial incentives and opportunities to work outside the country (AbuAlRub et al ., ) and lack of commitment (Saleh et al ., ).…”

The objectives of this study were to examine nurses' perceptions of the hospital safety culture in Jordan and to identify the relationships between aspects of hospital safety culture and selected safety outcomes. Data from 242 registered nurses in five Jordanian hospitals were analyzed. Aspects of hospital safety culture and outcomes were measured using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Among various aspects of hospital safety culture, teamwork within units had the highest average percentage of positive responses (49.8%). Additionally, participants reported deficits in other aspects of safety culture, particularly in staffing and nonpunitive response to errors, with average percentages of positive responses of 30.4% and 30.7%, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that 9 of 10 subscales of hospital safety culture were significantly correlated to one or more of the hospital safety outcomes. The findings of this study can help policymakers and healthcare administrators identify the weaknesses and strengths of hospital safety issues in order to propose effective strategies to improve patient safety and quality of care.

“…An evaluation of demographic characteristics for potential relationships would also be beneficial. For example, gender and race may or may not be a factor in DCWs' perceptions of transformational leadership as a predictor for organizational commitment; previous research on demographic characteristics has revealed inconsistencies (Al-Hussami, Darawad, Saleh, & Hayajneh, 2014;Emery & Barker, 2007;Mathieu & Zajac, 1990;Meyer & Allen, 1997;Qiao, Khilji, & Wang, 2009;Williams & Hazer, 1986). Furthermore, the lack of finding an inverse relationship between leadership and continuance commitment does not lessen the need for further research on the issue of pay in long term care.…”

Abstract. The United States population is rapidly aging, and retaining direct care workers (DCWs) will continue to be a workforce concern for the industry in addressing the demand for long term care services. To date, scant literature exists that addresses the DCW perspective of leadership behaviors and their influence on organizational commitment. To respond to this deficiency, this research studied leadership behaviors of direct importance for DCWs at the immediate supervisor level, and provided empirical insight into organizational commitment among workers closest to patient care. Research on leader behaviors has focused on managerial and executive levels, with scant consideration in long term care at the lower hierarchical levels. Transformational leadership was hypothesized to have a significant positive relationship with organizational commitment, specifically affective and normative commitments, and a significant inverse relationship with continuance commitment. The quantitative correlational study explored the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment among 322 direct care workers employed by nonprofit, multi-level long term care organizations located in the Midwest. Results revealed a statistically significant relationship between overall transformational leadership and organizational commitment as well as affective and normative commitment dimensions, with no significant relationship found between transformational leadership and continuance commitment. The study results are beneficial to industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers for addressing operational policies, leadership training, human resource practices, and workforce policy development. Operational policies should reflect the values of the organization and follow from a compelling, collective vision and mission. Human resources practices warrant review if not aligned with the vision, mission, and values. Leadership development training should be considered for continuing education for supervisors at all levels as well as for potential policy alternatives.

“…In the governmental sector, the Ministry of Health operates 31 hospitals, contributed 38% of all hospital beds; the Military Royal Medical Services run 12 hospitals, providing 24% of all beds; the Universities Hospitals contributed 3% of total beds; and the Private Sector provides 35% of all hospital beds (Al Hussani, Darawad, Saleh, & Hayajneh, 2013). The governmental hospitals provide health services has a social responsibility to the society, the cost of the medical services being render by Jordanian Ministry of Health is almost free for citizen.…”

The focus of this review study compliments the ongoing debate on the significance of employee retention in both private and public organizations. The contributions from scholars in retention study are enormous but there are still areas that need deep attention and further exploration. Most of the past studies on employee retention have mainly focus on its impact on outcomes such organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Thus, ISSN 2377-4622 2017 to further reconfirm the importance of employee retention as a critical determinant of organizational effectiveness, it is essential to test its effect on a broader range of outcome variables. In this study, the role of human resources practices and leadership style are examined to see their effect on employee retention. While most of the extant literature used behavioral theories, this study combined Herzberg two factors (satisfier/motivator and dissatisfier/hygiene) and proposed a symbiotic relationship that could benefit both parties through social exchange theory. This study is limited in scope and context but the contribution to frontier of knowledge for both theory and practice is unparalleled. Health sector employee are limited in number due to duration of course of study and academic rigors involved, thus the limited numbers available are in competitive demand thereby encouraging high job mobility in this sector. Jordanian work force generally aspires to move to the West as ditto most developing countries. Using a well-defined HR practices coupled with leadership style will drastically reduce attrition rate and enhanced employee retention as conceptualized in this study. This will contribute to theory and practice through proactive measures that will not only discourage employee turnover but also enhance productivity. World Journal of Business and Management
