摘要:

To foster achievement of professional and organizational goals, leaders in nursing service and education must pay attention to reward mechanisms for nursing practice. Here the author describes a framework for identifying and developing effective reward mechanisms and applies it to a specific situation. Using nursing preceptorship programs as an example, she illustrates how nursing administrators can develop and implement specific reward mechanisms that increase role satisfaction for preceptors and benefit both the service and the educational institution. This article is adapted from “Rewards in Nursing: Case in Point “Nurse Preceptors‘’ which appeared in The Massachusetts Nurse,October 1981 and received the 1981 Massachusetts Nurses' Association/American Journal of NursingWriting A ward.

What would adhocracy, the organizationul dream of Alvin Toffler and proven method for modern business organizations, look like in a health care facility? Would this organizational structure facilitate appropriate patient care and job satisfaction? Would it satisfy cost concerns?

摘要:

This article, a companion piece to Fuszard's “Adhocracy in Health Care Institutions?” also appearing in this issue, describes a health care organization that was restructured from a traditional bureaucracy to become a functioning adhocracy. Bishop discusses in depth how adhocracy is applied at the administrative and operating levels. A dressing such critical elements as authority and responsibility, communication and coordination, and project team functioning, she recognizes barriers to adhocracy, and gives readers a real-life view of how adhocracy can work in a health care organization.
