Middle level nurse managers in this study felt they did not have access to the resources they needed to successfully perform the administrative component of their role.…”

The findings support R.M. Kanter's (1977, 1993; Men and Women of the Corporation. Basic Books, New York) contention that empowering work conditions have an impact on employees' feelings of support and sense of accomplishment at work. Positive perceptions of organizational support may play an important role in retaining current middle managers, and possibly attracting future leaders to management positions.

“…The access to these structural empowerments helps in improving the overall effectiveness of the organizational functioning and positive employee attitudes (Kanter, 1977, 1993; Sharma & Kaur, 2008). In the absence of these structures, it could result in negative outcomes like conflicts in the work role and could be a source of stress for nurse administrators discovered by Ardent and Laeger (1970) followed by Greene (2005), Apker (2002) and Oermann and Moffatt-Wolf (1997), and high levels of burnout and high levels of illness-related absenteeism (Cho, Laschinger, & Wong, 2006; Greco, Laschinger, & Wong, 2006; Laschinger, Almost, Purdy, & Kim, 2004a). It is apparent from the study of Upenieks (2003) that structural empowerment has positive outcomes in delivering leadership role by the managers and nurse executives.…”

The purpose of this study is to test the mediation role of women’s psychological empowerment on the relationship between structural empowerment and employee’s affective commitment. Organizational commitment leads to numerous positive consequences for an organization. So, it is vital to identify those factors which affect the commitment of employees. Previous research has demonstrated strong relationship between structural empowerment and psychological empowerment and commitment but not a single study examines all these in one study in Indian nursing context. In this cross-sectional study, the data were collected from 389 women nurses working in public and private hospitals operating in Punjab by adopting a multi-stage random sampling technique. Results of the study depicted that psychological empowerment mediates all the proposed relationship between different dimensions of structural empowerment and affective commitment. Indian nurses experienced high level of structural empowerment which further leads to high commitment. Results of the present study showed that in order to have a harmonious environment in the organization, it is important to create such an environment which foster psychological empowerment among employees as it has many attitudinal (job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job strain and turnover intension) and behavioural (organizational citizenship behaviour, task performance and innovation) consequences.

Differences in the performances of baccalaureate, associate degree, and diploma nurses: A meta‐analysis

The findings of 139 studies of nurses educated in one of three basic nursing education programs (associate degree, diploma, and baccalaureate degree) were synthesized using meta-analysis. The results indicated significant differences between professional (BSN) and technical (AD and diploma) nurses on measures of nurse performance. Measures resulting in larger effects for professional nurses included communication skills, knowledge, problem-solving, and professional role. No differences resulted from studies of nurses from the two technical programs, AD and diploma. Further analyses indicated that the effects could not be solely attributed to substantive and methodological features of the studies. However, the hospital setting where a study was conducted and years of nursing experience decreased the size of the effect. The results of the meta-analysis have implications for policy development about educational preparation and for service expectations of professional and technical nurses.
