The objective of present study is to examine the extent of organizational citizenship behaviour among type A and type B personality nursing professionals. OCB is a spontaneous and voluntary initiative taken by an employee which is not formally rewarded by an organization’s management. A nursing professional in a health care organization is primarily concerned with the well-being and assurance of proper health care facilities to the patients. So, in this respect, the concept of OCB becomes crucial particularly in a health care organization. Contemporary literature largely focuses on linking organizational citizenship behaviours with Big-5 personality traits. However, only a few of them addressed the personality traits of type A and type B among nursing professionals. The hypotheses predicting a negative relationship between type A and OCB while, a positive relationship between type B and OCB were formulated. The correlational analysis was carried in order to test the proposed hypotheses. For this purpose, data were gathered from 50 female nursing professional working in a private hospital using standardised tools. The obtained results indicate a significant positive relationship between type B and OCB and a negative correlation was obtained between OCB ant type B personality. The findings suggest that type B nurses are willing to go beyond their in-role tasks for the welfare of both the patients and their organizations. Ultimately, the study aims to contribute to the hiring of nursing staff and providing appropriate interventions for each personality type.

Considerable Problem

- Turnover is a considerable problem for health care organizations: therefore, literature dedicates special attention to intention to leave the workplace (ITL), identified as main antecedent of factual organizational turnover rate. The present study has the aim to analyze the relationship between ITL and some psychosocial variables influencing it. The research (N = 604) has been carried out in a North of Italy Health care organization. Multiple regression analysis shows ITL as influenced by: satisfaction for development opportunities, satisfaction for workload, and quality of internal communication. Analysis of variance shows significant differences in ITL depending on professional qualification and age. Considering these two variables together allows to identify some groups of the organizational population with higher risks of turnover.Keywords: health worker, hospital, intention to leave the workplace, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship.Parole chiave: personale sanitario, azienda ospedaliera, intenzione di lasciare l'azienda, soddisfazione lavorativa, cittadinanza organizzativa.

AbstractLoosely structured documents can capture more relevant information about medical events than is possible using today’s popular databases. In order to realize the full potential of this increased information content, techniques will be required that go beyond the static mapping of stored data into a single, rigid data model. Through intelligent processing, loosely structured documents can become a rich source of detailed data about actual events that can support the wide variety of applications needed to run a health-care organization, document medical care or conduct research. Abstraction and indirection are the means by which dynamic data models and intelligent processing are introduced into database systems. A system designed around loosely structured documents can evolve gracefully while preserving the integrity of the stored data. The ability to identify and locate the information contained within documents offers new opportunities to exchange data that can replace more rigid standards of data interchange.

The Impact

The purpose of the article is to determine how personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness to experience) affect organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBE), especially in the context of energy saving. The purpose is also to verify the hypothesis that this impact is significantly moderated by individuals’ demographic characteristic (sex, age, length of service, work type and economic sector of employment). To achieve the purposes, a survey was conducted in 2020 on 454 working people from Poland. The analysis was based on structural equation modeling (SEM). The research model assumed that particular types of personality affect direct and indirect OCBEs, including energy-saving patterns. The model also included the aforementioned demographic characteristics of respondents. I proved that personality traits have a significant impact on direct and indirect organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment. In the case of direct OCBEs, the energy-saving items that were most significantly affected by employee personality were: I am a person who turns off my lights when leaving my office for any reason; I am a person who turns off the lights in a vacant room; I am a person who makes sure all of the lights are turned off if I am the last to leave. The strongest predicators were Neuroticism (negative relationship) and Agreeableness (positive relationship) for direct OCBE, but Extraversion (positive relationship) and Agreeableness (negative relationship) for indirect OCBE. The impact of an individual’s personality on OCBE was significantly moderated mainly for indirect behaviors. This applied to all the analyzed demographic variables, but it was stronger for women, employees aged up to 40 years, those with 10 years or more experience, office/clerical workers, and public sector employees. The article discusses the theoretical framework, research limitations, future research directions and practical implications.

Introduction. Health care workers often come into conflict situations while performing their daily activities. People behave differently when they come into conflicts and they are usually not aware of their own reactions. The aim of this paper was to establish the presence of conflict styles among health workers and the differences in relation to demographic characteristics (education, working experience, managerial position). Material and Methods. The research was done as a cross-sectional study and through surveys. The conflict handling questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The questionnaire contained 30 statements arranged in five dimensions of conflict styles. The sample included one hundred nurses and fifty-five doctors. Results. The research showed that accommodating was the most often used conflict style. There was no significant difference in styles of managerial and non-managerial staff, but there was a significant difference in the styles adopted by doctors and nurses. It should be noted that nurses used avoiding and accommodating conflict styles much more often. Conclusion. It is important to increase the awareness of conflict existence and the possibility of solving the problem constructively in order to achieve more efficient duty performance.

This paper reports the results of a literature review of health care organizations that have transitioned from one electronic health record (EHR) to another. Ten different EHR to EHR transitions are documented in the academic literature. In eight of the 10 transitions, the health care organization transitioned to Epic, a commercial EHR which is dominating the market for large and medium hospitals and health care systems. The focus of the articles reviewed falls into two main categories: (1) data migration from the old to new EHR and (2) implementation of the new EHR as it relates to patient safety, provider satisfaction, and other measures pre-and post-transition. Several conclusions and recommendations are derived from this review of the literature, which may be informative for healthcare organizations preparing to replace an existing EHR. These recommendations are likely broadly relevant to EHR to EHR transitions, regardless of the new EHR vendor.
