Public–Private Sector Comparisons of Nurses’ Work Harassment Using Set: Italy and Australia
基于社会交换理论，比较澳大利亚和意大利公立与私立医院护士的工作关系对骚扰、心理幸福感和工作投入的影响，发现澳大利亚公立医院护士满意度最低、骚扰最高。
Using Social Exchange Theory, this study compared the impact of nurses’ workplace relationships with management and colleagues upon nurses’ work harassment, psychological well-being, and engagement within the public and private sectors in both Australia and Italy. Using survey data from 1,587 nurses, SEM findings indicated that public sector nurses in Australia had the lowest satisfaction with supervision, higher work harassment, and lower engagement and psychological well-being, than the other groups. The implications include that poor workplace relationships enable work harassment and therefore management upskilling is required along with changes in performance measures to ensure greater nurse well-being and engagement.
