“…Thus, the role of a nurse manager has changed from working in a clinical area to focusing on managerial issues. Fulfilling a nurse manager's role requires the manager to create a healthy work environment that promotes the achievement of organizational goals and implements change in nursing units (Baxter & Warshawsky, 2014;Gunawan & Aungsuroch, 2017;Miltner, Jukkala, Dawson, & Patrician, 2015).…”

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.

“…Another factor that may contribute to the decline in expertise is that experienced nurses often encounter various challenges when transitioning to positions of leadership. One such challenge may be the assumption that the nurse leader does not require additional training because his or her prior knowledge and skills are sufficient to meet the new leadership responsibilities (Miltner, Jukkala, Dawson, & Patrician, 2015). Other challenges may include the fear of inadequacy, feelings of being an imposter, and dealing with the assumptions of others that the transition to the leadership position should be easy because of the leader's amount of nursing experience (Dellasega, Gabbay, Durdock, & Martinez-King, 2009).…”

Background Healthcare middle managers play a central role in reducing harm, improving patient safety, and strengthening the quality of healthcare. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the present knowledge and critically discuss how healthcare middle managers experienced to develop the capacity and capability for leadership in a healthcare system characterized by high complexity. Methods This comprehensive systematic review provided evidence of healthcare middle managers’ experiences in developing the capacity and capability for leadership in public healthcare. The three-step literature search was based on six databases and led by a PICo question. The review had a critical hermeneutic perspective and was based on an a priori published, protocol. The methods were inspired by the Joanna Briggs Institute and techniques from Kvale and Brinkmann. The results were illustrated by effect size, inspired by Sandelowski and Barroso. Results Twenty-three studies from four continents and multiple contexts (hospitals and municipal healthcare) published from January 2005–February 2019 were included. Based on experiences from 482 healthcare middle managers, 2 main themes, each with 2 subthemes, were identified, and from these, a meta-synthesis was developed: Healthcare middle managers develop capacity and capability through personal development processes empowered by context. The main themes included the following: 1. personal development of capacity and capability and 2. a need for contextual support. From a critical hermeneutic perspective, contrasts were revealed between how healthcare middle managers experienced the development of their capacity and capability and what they experienced as their typical work situation. Conclusions This review provides evidence of the need for a changed approach in healthcare in relation to criticisms of present organizational structures and management methods and suggestions for how to strengthen healthcare middle managers’ capacity and capability for leadership in a healthcare system characterized by high complexity. Evidence of how leadership development affected the clinical context and, thus, the quality of healthcare was found to be a field requiring further research.
