“…The notion of "sense of meaning," which leads to greater professional, occupational, or organizational commitment has been identified as an important factor in nurse retention (Brewer, Kovner, Greene, Tukov-Shuser, & Djukic, 2012;Hayes et al, 2006;Jourdain & Chenevert, 2010;Wang, Tao, Ellenbecker, & Liu, 2012). Those who find meaning in their work and have a sense of motivation in the work environment have been shown to have high levels of psychological empowerment, which has been linked to successful practice and increased retention in the NP role (Stewart, McNulty, Griffin, & Fitzpatrick, 2010).…”

Purpose Little is known about the workforce transition and turnover intention of novice nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary care (PC). This research aimed to describe the individual characteristics, role acquisition and job satisfaction of novice NPs, and identify factors associated with their successful transition and turnover intention in the first year of PC practice. Data sources A descriptive, cross‐sectional study was conducted via online survey administered to a national sample of 177 NPs who graduated from an accredited NP program and were practicing in a PC setting for 3–12 months. Conclusions This study demonstrated that greater professional autonomy in the workplace is a critical factor in turnover intention in novice NPs in the PC setting. Implications for practice Further research is needed regarding the novice NP workforce transition to provide adequate professional autonomy and support during this critical period.

The banking sector employees are usually exposed to potential job burnout which impacts their employee performance. This study examined the impact of structural empowerment on organizational citizenship behavior-organization (henceforth, OCBO) and job performance and further examined the mediating effect of job burnout in the relationships of structural empowerment, OCBO and job performance. In this study, data from 282 employees was taken from four banks: both public and private sectors. Two stage sampling technique was carried out to collect data. In the first stage probability cluster sampling and in the second stage convenience sampling was used. Different data analysis techniques like correlation, regression analysis, were used to test the four hypotheses of the study. Findings show that there are strong positive relationships of structural empowerment with OCBO and job performance. It has also proved that job burnout strongly mediates the relationship of structural empowerment and organizational citizenship-behavior (OCBO) and weakly mediates the relationship between structural empowerment and job performance. The findings would help the HR executives of the organizations to formulate future development to combat the burnout and ensure effective overall performance of employees through structurally empowering them.

Since the end of the 1980s, we have noticed an exponential increase of studies, papers and projects directly treating this topic.…”
