More, specifically, the purpose of this research was to explore (a) the relationships between organizational climate variables (i.e., welfare, autonomy, involvement, effort, training, integration, and supervisory support) and OCBs (n = 218), (b) differences in OCB scores between hospital leaders (n = 72) and followers (n …

The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine what factors impact nursing directors' intent to stay in their current role and what effect role autonomy and empowerment have on their intent to stay as …
