Purpose
This study is a hypothetical model of the effect of the leader-member exchange relationship on psychological ownership, job engagement, and turnover intention. Methods Data collection was conducted for general nurses who have worked for at least 6 months in a university hospital. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0, and AMOS 18.0 program was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis as well as goodness of fit verification and hypothesis testing for the hypothetical model. Results The leader-member exchange had a significant, static effect on psychological ownership. The leader-member exchange relationship did not have a significant effect on job engagement and psychological ownership had a significant, static effect on job engagement. The leader-member exchange relationship did not have a significant effect on turnover intention and psychological ownership and job engagement had significant, negative effects on turnover intention. Conclusion Intervention and the development of programs to increase the psychological ownership and job engagement of members are proposed to improve the leader-member exchange relationship through leadership education and training and reduce the turnover intention of nurses.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine the effect of person-environment fit on positive psychological capital, career commitment, and turnover intention among nurses working in university hospitals. Methods A survey was administered to 277 nurses working in a university hospital with more than 800 beds in J city. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used for analysis. Results Factors that directly explain turnover intention, person-environment fit, career commitment, and psychological capital exhibited a negative effect. However, while person-job fit did not directly affect turnover intention, it exhibited an indirect effect and total effect via positive psychological capital and career commitment. Conclusion Various programs should be developed to enhance nurses’ person-environment fit and person-job fit. Forming a positive attitude and strengthening nurses’ attachment and commitment toward nursing contribute to a lower turnover intention. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among intention of retention, nursing organizational culture, empowering leadership and organizational socialization of new graduate nurses, and identify factors affecting intent to stay. METHODS Data were collected from 184 new nurses who were graduated in 2017 and are now working in three tertiary hospitals. The relationship among the variables was analyzed with Pearson coefficient correlations and factors affecting intention of retention were identified by using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS The mean score for intention of retention was 5.23±1.25 (out of 8). Intent to stay had positive relationships with innovation-oriented culture, relation-oriented culture, task-oriented culture, empowerment leadership, organizational socialization. Factors influencing intent to stay were ‘motivation for selection of nursing (β=.19, p<.001)’, ‘organizational commitment (β=.45, p<.001)’, ‘job identity (β=.18, p=.005)’, and ‘interpersonal relationship of personal characteristics (β=.16, p=.005)’ in organizational socialization, and ‘coaching (β=.29, p=.001)’, and ‘showing concerning (β=−.19, p=.036)’ by empowering leadership. These factors explained 53.0% of the variance in intention of retention (F=35.96, p<.001). CONCLUSION Focusing on the factors of influence derived from this study, relevant institutions and nursing organizations require the creation of a work environment and leadership to increase the retention of new graduate nurses.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analyze literature related to nursing team effectiveness and to summarize the definition variables included, measurement tools, and findings. Basic data on operation and research for team effectiveness in nursing units was sought. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify all studies published between 2003 and 2016 from periodicals indexed in PUBMED, CINAHL, SCIENCE DIRECT, RISS, KISS, and NAL databases. The following keywords were used in the search: ‘team effectiveness’, ‘nurse’, ‘nursing’, and ‘hospital’. Ten studies were analyzed. RESULTS The analysis included domestic and international literature on nursing team effectiveness. The foreign literature included studies of various organizations including nurses, use of various research tools, leadership programs and/or new nursing delivery systems. In the Korean studies, most of the research on team effectiveness surveyed nurses on team satisfaction, team commitment, and team performance in general nursing units, operating rooms, and intensive care units. CONCLUSION The findings show the necessity to develop a definition of team effectiveness that can be accepted comprehensively in nursing organizations in Korea. The definition should reflect team effectiveness that includes all cooperating units not only nurses of the nursing unit but also all other related health care teams.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to review articles on Nursing Management Minimum Data Sets (NMMDS) and to suggest strategies to improve practical use of NMMDS in nursing management. METHODS A systematic search for articles published until 2013 was undertaken using the following biomedical databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and Google scholar. Seventeen articles were fully reviewed. RESULTS The results showed that studies were related to updating NMMDS reflecting current EHR use, mapping NMMDS to standardized national databases, and validating, translating and evaluating NMMDS for international uses. NMMDS has three dimensions and was developed reflecting the needs of nurse managers. CONCLUSION The study findings provide a summary of recent trends in NMMDS. These results can serve as basic information to promote practical use of NMMDS in the healthcare organization to provide nursing management data for nurse managers.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of empathy, resilience and self-care on compassion fatigue in oncology nurses. METHODS The study design was a descriptive survey and questionnaires were collected from December 1 to 15, 2013. Participants were 171 oncology nurses caring for cancer patients. Data was analyzed using independent t-test, Scheffe test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. RESULTS Seventy two percent of the participants reported a moderate to high level of compassion fatigue. Empathy was positively correlated with compassion fatigue, whereas, resilience and self-care had negative correlations with compassion fatigue. Finally, empathy, resilience, self-care and age accounted for 30% of the variance in compassion fatigue. CONCLUSION Results indicate that empathy, resilience and self-care are factors influencing compassion fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and make available programs embracing personal factors in the prevention and reduction of compassion fatigue. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify ethical climate factors in hospitals and analyze their influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. METHODS A convenience sample of 196 nurses from one national university hospital in J city participated in this descriptive study survey. Instruments included the Ethical Climate Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Organizational Commitment Scale. Cronbach's alpha and factor analysis were done to test reliability and construct validity of the scales. Data were collected from March 15 to March 25, 2013 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0.
