The Mediating Role Of Trust On Tacit Knowledge Sharing And Job Satisfaction, Shami Orinthea Miller
The Mediating Role Of Trust On Tacit Knowledge Sharing And Job Satisfaction, Shami Orinthea Miller
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Effective knowledge management is vital for organizational success. However, challenges in knowledge gaps arise when key individuals depart from their respective organizations and there is no effective knowledge management system. This study was an exploration of the nuanced relationship among trust, tacit knowledge sharing, and job satisfaction in the life insurance industry. Trust, job satisfaction, and tacit knowledge sharing are critical components in organizational dynamics. Tacit knowledge sharing is difficult to codify, and employees might be motivated to share their know-how on the basis of anticipated benefits and reciprocal interactions. On the other hand, research that explores the relationship between …

The purpose of this project was to implement a staff education program for nurses working in a Mid-Atlantic behavioral and mental health hospital on how to assist patients who have schizophrenia manage their self-care. The questions that guided this project focused on if there was an improvement in nurses’ …
Measuring Operational Vs. Organizational Stress Among Rural Law Enforcement In Western Colorado, Michael Stephen Scotto
Measuring Operational Vs. Organizational Stress Among Rural Law Enforcement In Western Colorado, Michael Stephen Scotto
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
New research on rural law enforcement stress levels reveals concerning implications for police reform and community safety, particularly in western Colorado where officers face unique challenges. This quantitative study examined age group differences in operational and organizational stress among rural law enforcement officers using one-way ANOVAs with post-hoc Tukey's HSD tests. The study of 191 rural officers found significant differences across age groups for both operational stress (F(2, 188) = 4.08, p = .018, η2 = .042) and organizational stress (F(2, 188) = 4.15, p = .017, η2 = .043), with officers aged 24-27 experiencing the highest stress levels. Organizational …

Resiliency’S Correlations To Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness, And Meaning In Life For The Trucking Industry During Covid-19, Rhonda Renee Wood
Resiliency’S Correlations To Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness, And Meaning In Life For The Trucking Industry During Covid-19, Rhonda Renee Wood
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
COVID-19 depleted multiple subsystems, took human lives, impaired mental health, and induced economic devastation. The trucking occupation was and continues to be impacted by adverse working conditions, and the pandemic’s limitations intensified the stress that truckers experience. COVID-19 resilience for trucking employees may stratify to other supply chains. Therefore, the quantitative cross-sectional study aimed to assess the research questions of how meaning in life, autonomy, competence, and relatedness correlated to each other and preceded resilience. The theoretical framework included Viktor Frankl’s meaning in life and Ryan and Deci’s self-determination theories. Connect Cloud Research was the platform for data retrieval from …

The Experience Of Help Seeking For African American Pastors In Personal Crises, Jason Leon Hanna
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The U.S. population faces enormous challenges coping with disease, financial stress, failure, and general mental health concerns.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the meaning of help-seeking for African American clergy during personal crises, guided by Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 African American senior pastors of congregations in the United States. Study participants defined help-seeking …

Hyperlipidemia, Acculturation, And Health Insurance Coverage In United States Foreign-Born Individuals, Debola Olayinka Ola
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Hyperlipidemia is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death among minority populations in the United States, including foreign-born people. Therefore, preventing and treating hyperlipidemia alongside other CVD risk factors is critical for avoiding CVD. Prior research examined disparities in health insurance coverage, length of stay, and blood cholesterol with mixed observations over time with new immigrants. This study aimed to determine if there was a statistically significant association between language spoken at home, length of stay in the United States, having health insurance coverage or none, and high cholesterol level status among …
Depression Screening, Heather Apling Rowell
Depression Screening, Heather Apling Rowell
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Depression is a common but serious mood disorder and healthcare professionals need to include depression screening during routine health visits. The gap in practice at a primary care clinic was the lack of routine screening and the lack of knowledge of the medical assistant staff in conducting and documenting depression screening. The purpose of this project was to develop, implement, and evaluate an education program on depression screening and appropriate documentation in the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). The practice-focused question centered on whether healthcare staff demonstrated increased knowledge of depression screening and how to appropriately document in the patient’s …

Religious Identity, Sexual Identity, And Internalized Homophobia In Adults Who Have Deidentified From Christianity, Kevin Roum
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Over the past three decades, the percentage of the United States population that identifies as Christian has dropped significantly. At the same time, the level of acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual identities has increased. However, this overall acceptance does not necessarily lead to an acceptance of these identities within specific Christian communities, leading to gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals having contradictory experiences between their Christian upbringing and secular society. Individuals who no longer identify as Christian after being so raised may experience additional dissonance as their sexuality identity conflicts with the teachings they were raised to believe yet no …
