“…Furthermore, the literature has identified the following eight dimensions of professional practice environments: (a) handling of disagreements and conflict, (b) internal work motivation, (c) control over practice, (d) leadership and autonomy in clinical practice, (e) staff relationship with physicians, (f) teamwork, (g) cultural sensitivity, and (h) communication about patients (Erickson et al, 2004;Halcomb et al, 2010). Table 1 lists each of these dimensions and their respective definitions.…”

“…Professional practice environment The professional practice environment refers to ''an organizational context in which health care is delivered'' (Erickson et al, 2004) and ''characteristics of a work environment'' (Halcomb et al, 2010). This study adopts the above definition used by Erickson et al (2004).…”

“…In service environments, control over practice is the degree to which staffing levels are sufficient for the delivery of quality service (Halcomb et al 2010). Lack of control over practice forces an individual service employee to take on a heavy workload and the associated information.…”

“…One item, "Professionally speaking, my job exactly satisfies my expectations of myself," was dropped because of its low item-to-total correlation. This study adopted the four-item scale of Halcomb et al (2010) to measure control over practice. Expertise was measured using information on nursing accreditation levels that formally recognize nurses' professional knowledge and skills.…”

Abstract.Variation in service quality results in service failure and subsequent customer defection, and thus knowing how to manage such variation is critical for service managers. However, little is known about why, and at which workplaces, some service employees can provide service of a consistently high quality but others cannot. This study addresses this issue using the perspective of signal detection theory. Multiplesource and matched data from 160 nurses and 480 patients were used for the analysis. We found that job tenure was negatively related to variation in all dimensions of service quality. Moreover, control over practice interacts with job tenure and expertise to impact service variation and the average level of all dimensions of service quality. These factors interactively determine whether service employees can provide a consistently high quality of service. To our knowledge, this is the first empirical study addressing this issue by examining viable employee and workplace characteristics. The findings provide a means for service managers to ensure a consistently high level of service quality.

The professional practice environment has been implicated as a variable that impacts patient outcomes. The absence of negative physician behaviors is an inadequate measure for assessing the positive attributes of the professional practice environment. Instruments for assessing the professional practice environment typically looked at the presence of negative physician behaviors or examined a single aspect of the nurse-physician relationship. This article provides a theoretical framework that can be used to guide both practice and research. The PPEAS was developed within a theoretical framework that can be adapted to a variety of settings, cultures, and countries. The PPEAS is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to assess the professional practice environment in a variety of settings.
