  • PhD Dissertation- The Relationship of Structural Empowerment, Job Satisfaction and Intent to Leave in Critical Care Nurses

    -

    A quantitative correlational study was conducted to examine the relationship of the
    variables structural empowerment (SE), job satisfaction and intent to leave within the
    population of critical care nurses who work in U.S hospitals. Applying Kanter’s theory of
    SE, a convenience sample of 83 critical care nurses were recruited from Facebook. Survey
    instruments included Conditions of Work Effectiveness II (CWEQ II), Job Satisfaction
    Survey (JSS) and the Turnover Intention (TIS-6)…

    A quantitative correlational study was conducted to examine the relationship of the
    variables structural empowerment (SE), job satisfaction and intent to leave within the
    population of critical care nurses who work in U.S hospitals. Applying Kanter’s theory of
    SE, a convenience sample of 83 critical care nurses were recruited from Facebook. Survey
    instruments included Conditions of Work Effectiveness II (CWEQ II), Job Satisfaction
    Survey (JSS) and the Turnover Intention (TIS-6). Three questions were asked in the study.
    RQ1 asked to what extent a relationship exists between SE and job satisfaction in a critical
    care nursing environment, RQ2 questioned the relationship of SE and intent to leave, and
    RQ3 questioned the relationship of job satisfaction and intent to leave. Both a Pearson and
    Spearman correlation were conducted. Pearson’s showed p < .001. Pearson’s r(82) = .70,
    for SE to job satisfaction, r(82) = -.456 for SE and intent to leave, and r(82) = -.61 for job
    satisfaction and intent to leave. The results for Spearman showed p < .001. SE to job
    satisfaction, rs (82) =.683, SE and intent to leave rs (82) = -.424, for job satisfaction and
    intent to leave rs (82) = -.591. The results indicated a strong positive relationship between
    SE and job satisfaction, a strong negative correlation between SE and intent to leave, and
    likewise a negative correlation between job satisfaction and intent to leave. The findings
    may be useful in improving nurse retention.
    Keywords: Structural empowerment, nurse turnover, job satisfaction,
    empowerment.
