The Relationship Between Practice Environment Variables and Nurse Manager Perceptions of Workplace Mistreatment to Identify Factors Amenable to Change

To examine the relationships between practice environment factors and nurse manager (NM) perceptions of workplace mistreatment (WPM).NMs have a unique perspective of business operations and care delivery and can offer insight into how WPM manifests in clinical settings at the leadership level.Researchers used a cross-sectional correlational design using a nonexperimental causal technique. A convenience sample of 139 NMs completed a survey regarding their perceptions of organizational change, the practice environment, and WPM.NMs reported experiencing incivility (98%) and bullying (90%). Approximately 20% variance explained mistreatment by relationships with supervisors and budgeted resources ( F4,134 = 9.16, P = 0.000).Modifiable factors can be identified to prevent or reduce WPM.
