Study on the Influence of Work Environment on Head Nurses' Managerial Innovation and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour | Chapter 02 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 6

Objective: With the rapid changes and competitiveness of health care organisations around the world, organisations must recruit and retain skilled and inventive nurses who act as citizens. This is difficult to do without a good work environment. The natural surroundings of the physical and emotional qualities of a working area to which nurses devote the majority of their working hours are referred to as the work environment. Managers, staff nurses, and patients benefit from a creative, stimulating, joyful work environment. It boosts patient outcomes, nurse productivity, and creativity. At Mansoura University Hospital (MUH) and Elmahala Chest Hospital, the current study intends to evaluate the influence of work environment on management innovation and organisational citizenship behaviour (ECH).

Materials and Procedures: The research was carried out at MMUH and Elmahala Chest Hospital in Mansoura, Egypt (ECH). A total of 140 nurses were included in the study. Managerial Innovation Questionnaire, Work Environment Questionnaire, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire were used in this study.

The overall working environment at the main university hospital was better (37.1%) than at Elmahala Chest Hospital (31.4 percent ) Also, at the main university hospital, there was more agreement on managerial innovation than at the Elmahala Chest Hospital (21.0 percent , 14.3 percent ) Elmahala Chest Hospital (48.6%), rather than Main University Hospital, had the greatest total organisational citizenship behaviour agreement (44.8 percent ). Finally In both settings (**p0.01), there is a clear positive significance relationship between total work environment and total management innovation and citizenship behaviour.

Conclusion: Improving the working environment has the potential to improve managerial creativity and organisational citizenship behaviours.

Recommendations: Efforts should be made to create a healthcare environment that fosters innovation and corporate citizenship. Nurses should also be involved in creating corporate goals and making choices in order to create organisational citizenship behaviour.

Relationships of Work Environment and Burnout among Perioperative Nurses in Spain | Chapter 8 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 Background: Several international studies have found a connection between burnout and the working environment of nurses. However, there has been a scarcity of research on perioperative nurse burnout and the characteristics of their working conditions in Spain to date.

The aim of this study was to look into the impact of organizational variables in the perioperative nurse's work environment on the three dimensions of burnout: emotional fatigue, depersonalization, and personal achievement.

Methods: We used a self-report questionnaire to collect data on a socio-demographic, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index in a cross-sectional, quantitative, prospective sample with 130 surgical nurses in a tertiary hospital in Spain. Study: Organizational factors, explanatory variables, and burnout dimensions were studied using a univariate and bivariate analysis, followed by a multivariate regression to determine the influence of the NWI-PES factors on burnout.

The level of general burnout was moderate to strong, according to the findings. In this study, emotional exhaustion was recorded by 43% (56) of nurses, depersonalization by 21% (28), and a reduction in personal accomplice by 53%. (69). The job climate was deemed unfavorable since only one out of five factors were favorable (Nursing foundations of quality care). Three organizational variables were found to be correlated with all three dimensions of burnout in multiple regression analyses: "Nurse manager capacity, leadership, and encouragement of nurses," "Staffing and resources adequacy," and "Nursing foundations of quality care."

Conclusions: Burnout affects about one-third of perioperative nurses in each of the three burnout subscales, with Emotional Exhaustion being the most affected, accompanied by Depersonalization and Personal Accomplishment.

Three organizational factors were found to play a significant role in predicting burnout among perioperative nurses in this research. We advise hospital administrators to put measures in place to change these organizational factors. In addition to approaches in the workplace, which have a significant impact on burnout: Promoting positive leadership styles, providing adequate support, and fostering a positive work environment could improve perioperative nurses' psychosocial health and reduce burnout.
