“…Meanwhile, lowest satisfaction of autonomy with BPN was contrary to the result of BPN satisfaction in doctors (van der Burgt et al, 2019). These results were presumably due to the roles and practices of registered nurses, which are ambiguous and limited by the Medical Service Act in South Korea (Choi et al, 2019). Individuals show high vitality, growth and well‐being when satisfied with their environment.…”

Aim: This study determined the relationships of satisfaction and frustration with basic psychological needs, organizational commitment, perceived authentic leadership and turnover intention in nurses in South Korea.Background: Minimizing nurse turnover is essential for improving the quality of nursing care and patient safety.Methods: This was a cross-sectional, correlational pilot study of 216 nurses at a university hospital in South Korea. Data were collected with a self-report questionnaire, from 1 to 15 September 2020. Collected data were analysed using SPSS 24.0.Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed that clinical experience (3 to 5 years, β = 2.35, p = .019; 5 to 10 years, β = 2.23, p = .026), subjective workload (severe, β = 2.10, p = .036; extreme, β = 2.84, p = .005), psychological needs frustration (β = 0.35, p < .001), organizational commitment (β = À0.17, p = .011) and perceived authentic nurse leadership (β = À0.14, p = .030) were found to have significant effects on nurses' turnover intention. Conclusions:The results suggest that it is necessary to create a transparent work environment based on authentic leadership and consider individual frustrations with regard to basic psychological needs and organizational commitments.Implications for Nursing Management: This study offers a new approach to reducing nurses' turnover. A strategy is needed for efficient nursing staffing management to assist with reduction of nurses' turnover intentions.

“…Nursing assistants, elsewhere, also experience the same fate; in the US, the career ladder for nurse assistants is limited (Scrimgeour, 2015). In Korea, though the Ministry of Government Legislation Medical Service Act (2015) distinguished clearly the scope of practice between registered nurses and nurse assistants, their roles for nurses in the community remains ambiguous (Choi et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to track the series of setbacks by a few like-minded persons since the early 1990s to entrench building surveying as a profession in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachData were sourced from elite interviews with authoritative individuals who have been championing building surveying as a profession and supplemented by secondary sources.FindingsEstablished professional bodies became hostile to what they perceived as attempts to encroach on their professional jurisdictions. There was even a move to subjugate building surveyors to the auxiliary role. The ultimate aim to obtain statutory “ring fence” around the proposed building surveying profession did not find favour with lawmakers.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of small sample size was compensated by referral to past publications.Practical implicationsLatecomers face an uphill challenge in negotiating for legitimacy from established professions and lawmakers alike in a situation when no new work demand avails. Building surveyors in Malaysia have to either wait for external changes which would allow their traditional role to be formally recognised or take up new specialisations.Originality/valueAdditional empirical findings were uncovered to complement past studies. The main contribution lies in demonstrating the explanatory powers of the sociological lens for future studies on professions in the construction industry.

Background Many features of health care organizations (HCOs) have been identified to be associated with health information exchange (HIE), but subcategories of organizational factors focusing on nurse workforces still need to be identified. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of number of nurses with HIE use in Korea. Methods This study had a retrospective study design and used health insurance claim data from June 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018. The unit of analysis was the HCO, and any health insurance claims having HIE were counted by HCO. There were a total of 1490 HCOs having any HIE and 24 026 HCOs not having HIE. For statistical analysis, two-part model was used: logistic regression for HIE participation and the generalized linear model for the volume of HIE use. Results HIE was used by 44.6% of general hospitals, and 8.6% and 5.3% of small hospitals and clinics, respectively. Both HIE use and its volume were significantly positively associated with nurse variables. The use of HIE was significantly positively associated with nurse-to-bed ratio in general hospitals (OR 1.028; 1.016 to 1.041) and in small hospitals (OR 1.021; 1.016 to 1.027), and with the number of nurses (OR 1.041; 1.028 to 1.054) in clinics (P<.001). The volume of HIE use was also positively associated with nurse-to-bed ratio in general hospitals (OR 1.010; 1.004 to 1.017) and in small hospitals (OR 1.014; 1.006 to 1.022), and with the number of nurses (OR 1.055; 1.037 to 1.073) in clinics (P<.01). Conclusion This study found that there was a low rate of HIE use in small hospitals and clinics. The number of nurses was critically associated with the use of HIE and the volume of HIE claims. HIE policy makers need to be aware of this factor in seeking to accelerate HIE.
