Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective: To describe veterinary professionals' perceptions of relational coordination (RC) within their veterinary hospital and examine associations with perceived workplace psychological climate, job satisfaction, and intention to leave. Methods: All 4,676 employees working in 136 corporate-owned veterinary hospitals were invited to respond to an online survey. Measures included employees' perceptions regarding RC, workplace psychological climate, job satisfaction, and intention to leave their hospital. Ordinal logistic regressions examined associations between perceived RC and each of the aforementioned variables. Results: 578 employees from 114 veterinary hospitals participated. Participants perceived moderate RC with team members (mean, 3.91 out of 5), perceived their workplace psychological climate to be fair (mean, 3.23 out of 7), reported being satisfied with their job (mean, 70.42 out of 100), and did not intend to leave their hospital (mean, 2.26 out of 5). After controlling for hospital setting, stronger perceptions of RC were significantly associated with greater odds of rating workplace psychological climate at a more favorable level (OR, 5.78; 95% CI, 4.16 to 8.04) and rating job satisfaction at a higher level (OR, 5.12; 95% CI, 3.60 to 7.29), with lower odds of rating intention to leave their current hospital at a higher level (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.39). Conclusions: On average, employees reported moderately positive perceptions of each measure. Perceived RC within veterinary teams was associated with a healthier perception of workplace psychological climate, increased job satisfaction, and reduced intention to leave. Clinical Relevance: Findings highlight the important role that RC may have for veterinary practices, specifically in fostering employees' perceptions of their workplace psychological climate, enhancing job satisfaction, and reducing employee attrition.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
