THE RELATIONSHIP AMONGST LEADER EMPOWERING BEHAVIOURS, WORKPLACE EMPOWERMENT, NURSE-PHYSICIAN COLLABORATION AND RESPECT IN ACUTE CARE NURSES
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model based on Kanter’s theory of workplace empowerment in a sample of Ontario acute care nurses. The relationships among four key variables were explored: leader empowering behaviours, workplace empowerment, nurse-physician collaboration and respect. A cross-sectional correlational survey design was used to obtain data from a random sample of 300 nurses. Overall, acute care nurses perceived both their leaders’ behaviours and their workplaces to be moderately empowering. Nurses felt that they had leaders who expressed confidence in their abilities and fostered their autonomy; however, their leaders did not promote inclusion in organizational decision-making. Nurses reported that the most empowering structure in their workplace was opportunity, and the least, formal power. Nurses perceived their work relationships with physicians to be moderately collaborative and their perceptions of respect overall as moderate. Overall, leader empowering behaviours had both a direct effect and an indirect effect on respect, through structural empowerment and nurse-physician collaboration. The final model revealed a reasonably good fit (x2 = 15.5, df=2, CFI=.92, IFI=.92, RMSEA=.21).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
