“…Workplaces that provide discretion, as a feature central to the organisational aim and mission, promote access to such empowering structures. Previous studies have revealed that structural empowerment affects patient safety (Dirik & Intepeler, 2017), the quality of care (Asif, Jameel, Hussain, Hwang, & Sahito, 2019), job performance and work engagement (Amor, Vázquez, & Faíña, 2020). However, there is a gap in understanding the effect of structural empowerment on patient-centred care.…”

Aim The study was conducted to assess the predictors of patient‐centred care provision among nurses working in an acute care setting. We hypothesized that higher structural empowerment and compassion satisfaction and lower burnout would predict the provision of patient‐centred care. Background Patient‐centred care is a crucial aspect of quality health care and the heart of nursing care. Although previous studies have highlighted some determinants of patient‐centred care provision among nurses, there remains a gap in understanding the factors that predict the provision of patient‐centred care. Methods A cross‐sectional predictive design was used. Through random sampling, 255 nurses were recruited from five hospitals providing acute care services in Saudi Arabia. Results Multiple linear regression revealed that compassion satisfaction (β = 0.260 [95% CI: 0.201–0.645]), burnout (β = −0.266 [95% CI: −0.998 to −0.403]) and structural empowerment (β = 0.273 [95% CI: 0.462–1.427]) jointly explained significant variance (27.5%) in the provision of patient‐centred care by nurses. Conclusions The study findings reveal that lower burnout, higher compassion satisfaction and structural empowerment increase nurses' provision of patient‐centred care. Implications for Nursing Management Leadership and managerial strategies that not only address compassion satisfaction and burnout but also empower nurses are crucial for the provision of patient‐centred care by nurses.

“…Comparatively, engagement has been shown to increase organizational commitment and improve employee mental health (Rana et al, 2014;Schaufeli, 2014;Robertson & Cooper, 2010). Transformational (Li et al, 2018) and transactional leadership (Amor et al, 2020;Ghadi et al, 2013;Hawkes et al, 2017) are linked to work engagement. However, Bass (1985;1998) suggests that leaders who lack inspiration but communicate expectations can increase work engagement.…”

Organizational commitment has a significant positive association with employee work engagement. Comparatively, organizational leaders recognize the value and competitive advantage of inspiring employee work engagement for sustainability in their industry. Numerous studies confirm that ethical leadership predicts organizational commitment. However, as of 2019, research suggested that alternative ethical leadership theories were needed to explain the influence on work engagement better. This study aimed to investigate the predictive power of Foundational Leadership Theory (FLT) developed by Fuller in 2021. FLT is an inward (internal) and outward (employee perceived) examination of ethical decisions based on integrity, assurance, and pragmatism. The findings were based on responses from 248 full-time employees across various industries in the United States of America. Pearson correlation and regression analysis revealed that integrity, assurance, and pragmatism predicted positive employee work engagement. FLT is a new theory and advances our understanding of employee commitment and work engagement in an organization. Human resource managers (HRM) recognized that employee enthusiasm is reflected in their work engagement. Therefore, leaders who rely on FLT are more likely to maintain a competitive advantage by creating or improving employee enthusiasm and engagement on the job.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menyebutkan bahwa cognitif behavioral therapy menimbulkan efek yang positif dimana meningkatkan maturitas perilaku kerja dalam pengambilan keputusan dan harga diri perawat (Monje Amor et al, 2019). Penelitian yang lain menyebutkan bahwa kecerdasan emosi perawat dapat mempengaruhi rendahnya stress kerja yang dihadapi perawat (Yurista et al, 2018).…”

One strategy in the transformation of organizations in health services today is empowerment. Empowerment is a leadership design that can influence a nurse in decision making. The study aims to know the influence of empowerment leadership on the nurse’s decision making. The method in this paper is a literature review. Search for research articles using a database of sciences from Google Scholar, Science Directs, Clinical Key and the final results found 10 articles to be reviewed. Results: 5 empowerment resources can be used by nurses in improving decision making. The empowerment that contains reward, coercive, expert, referent, and legitimate can be used by nurses in improving decision making Result: 5 sources of empowerment can be used by nurses in improving decision making. The empowerment that contains reward, coercive, expert, referent, and legitimate can be used by nurses in improving decision making. Empowerment leadership style can be an alternative way to improve the quality of nurse decision making. Reward and coercive can influence experience, an expert can influence facts and rational, a referent can affect intuition, and legitimate can affect authority.
