Purpose This study aims to examine how care professionals of different occupational groups perceive organizational conditions for voice behavior and whether these conditions are related to job satisfaction and retention as was experienced at nursing home (NH) facilities. Design/methodology/approach An online survey study was conducted among care p...

Background: Research shows that voice-the communication of ideas, concerns, and perspectives by employees to those in positions to instigate changes-is related to job satisfaction, retention, and organizational improvement.

Aim Whereas voice behaviour has been identified as a key precursor to safe and high‐quality patient care, little is known about how voice relates to key workforce outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between certified nursing assistants' perceived promotive voice behaviour (speaking up with suggestions for future improvement)...

Introduction At all levels, effective collaboration between actors with different backgrounds lies at the heart of integrated care. Much attention has been given to the structural features underlying integrated care, but even under structurally similar circumstances, the effectiveness of collaboration varies largely. Theory and methods Social and...

The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of gendered practices in academia by further exploring the embodiment of gender; we do so by comparing these practices between the experiences of female and male respondents concerning gender stereotypes and the individual embodiment thereof in academics within research universities in the...

Objective Existing studies on shared decision-making (SDM) have hardly taken into consideration that patients could have independently developed expectations prior to their consultation with a healthcare provider, nor have studies explored how such expectations affect SDM.

Precise asking-prices (e.g., $249,800), compared with round ones (e.g., $250,000), are stronger anchors, leading buyers to counter closer to the asking-price. This ‘precision effect’ is driven by (i) higher evaluation of the seller's competence, and (ii) buyers using a finer-grained numerical scale when the asking-price is precise compared with rou...

Health, social, and community care agencies are undergoing rapid changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, arguably offering a “window of opportunity” for health system transformation. What is required is theoretical guidance to help determine whether rapid system responses are likely to be sustained as part of broader transformation efforts. W...

Members of frontline low-status occupational groups often have access to a vast pool of knowledge, expertise, and experience that may be valuable for organizations. However, previous research has shown that members of these occupational groups are often reluctant to exhibit voice behavior due to their low position in the organizational hierarchy an...

Due to the types of care they deliver, Dutch auxiliary nurses presumably spend more time in a client’s home than other care professionals. Consequently, auxiliary nurses play a vital role in furthering coordination and cooperation between clients and their informal caregivers and other auxiliary and registered nurses, which is important in light of...
