“…These results are consistent with previous studies in which equality was the area that achieved the highest evaluation from the perspective of intellectual and developmental disability care workers (Astala et al, 2017), pediatric nursing workers (Sirén et al, 2015), and in healthcare organizations in general (Harmoinen et al, 2014). Likewise, systematic management was considered the weakest area from the perspective of intellectual and developmental disability care workers (Astala et al, 2017), and healthcare organizations (Harmoinen et al, 2014). In the study by Sirén et al (2015), the promotion of well-being was the least well implemented category.…”

“…In this study, appreciative management and its dimensions were well implemented in selected Estonian healthcare organizations. Similar results were obtained in previous Finnish studies (Astala et al, 2017;Harmoinen et al, 2014;Sirén et al, 2015).…”

“…Earlier studies have also supported this view. Astala et al (2017) found that appreciative management and all its dimensions had a positive relationship to appreciation received from the manager. Appreciation received from the manager is perceived to be rewarding (Waltz et al, 2020), to improve stress tolerance and self-realization, and to prevent burnout (Miyata et al, 2015).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to explore the implementation of appreciative management from the perspective of healthcare workers in selected Estonian healthcare organizations. Design: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. Methods: Data were collected from healthcare workers (n = 215) using an Appreciative Management Scale in two different sized hospitals and two healthcare centers. Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests. The study was reported according to STROBE guidelines. Results: Appreciative management was implemented very well. Of the dimensions of appreciative management, equality of employees was the best implemented and systematic management was the least well implemented. Appreciative management had a statistically significant connection with intention to change workplace and with experience of appreciation from first-line managers and upper managers. Conclusion: With the help of appreciative management, it may be possible to increase commitment to work. The appreciation offered by managers to healthcare workers seems to improve healthcare workers' evaluation of the implementation of appreciative management. In health care, it is important to recognize appreciative management and the benefits it creates for healthcare workers' commitment to their work and profession.

“…The scale has also been used with staff taking care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and in paediatric nursing. Although no weaknesses have yet been detected in the instrument (Astala et al, 2016;Hyytia¨inen et al, 2015;Siren et al, 2015), further studies are needed to test this instrument. In particular, changes in contemporary working life require workplaces to show whether their management is appreciative or not.…”

In working life, ageing and retiring staff and managers are being replaced by younger generations which come from different working life cultures. This may give rise to different management expectations. As a result, this creates a need to assess how the concept of appreciative management is implemented in health care. The aim was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess appreciative management. A multi-phase, mixed-method and psychometric evaluation of the Appreciative Management Scale (AMS) was conducted. A concept analysis and systematic literature review were carried out. The instrument’s development employed a two-phase Delphi study approach including essays, survey iteration rounds and expert panel evaluation. The instrument was pre-tested and tested empirically in a survey completed by staff respondents and managers. AMS 1.0 has 83 items that are categorised into Systematic Management, Equality, Appreciation of Know-How, and the Promotion of Wellbeing at Work. The instrument was found to be valid and reliable. The AMS 1.0 scale needs to be tested internationally in order to conduct evaluative surveys of appreciative management in other countries. By using the AMS 1.0 instrument to assess managers’ management practices, managers receive valuable feedback on their own management skills and also the skills of workers.

“…The reliability of this tool was good, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the instrument varied mostly from 0.852 to 0.986, with the exception of equality between sexes (0.616). In previous studies, these values have varied from 0.79 to 0.97 (Astala, Roos, Harmoinen, & Suominen, ; Harmoinen, Niiranen, Helminen, et al, ). A possible reason for this low alpha coefficient might be that the work of physiotherapists is quite independent.…”

It is important that managers in physiotherapy recognize the characteristics of appreciative management, so they can include them as part of their good practice and as part of their own leadership style. Managers in physiotherapy need to be encouraged to participate in management education and also enable the participation of others. A background in physiotherapy can be seen to further the practice and development of physiotherapy. Offering physiotherapists challenging assignments and enabling their career development in physical therapy units is therefore of great importance.

Staff experiences of appreciative management in the institutional care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – a cross‐sectional study

Abstract: The knowledge of weak systematic management in this study may be utilised in developing management strategies. The managers should use the concept of appreciative management to help young and less experienced nurses to increase their competency and willingness to work in this field.
