...Team Listening Environment (TLE) scale for the Journal of Business Communication. The origin and findings of this case study from these three women are examined in the below writing. Research Problem and Purpose This pioneering study was based on the listening environment within teams and inspired the research to fully develop and validate a Team Listening Environment (TLE) scale. The authors define TLE as the individual’s perception of behaviors demonstrating genuine attention and understanding by team members (Johnston, Reed, Lawrence, p.6). The purpose of this scale is to expand current research by creating awareness to the correlation between the value of team listening and achieving organizational success. The scale’s purpose is also for management’s use as a tool for accessing listening environments and improving organizational/team performance. The Team Listening Environment (TLE) Scales is just one of many examples of how research can be beneficial to the operation and success of Business. By being able to provide a correlation between the listening environment and organizational success, many businesses will have an opportunity to improve the team dynamic in the workplace and help managers solve problems effectively. Research Question Past research has focused on the individual’s ability to listen and the ability to listen has become recognized as a critical skill for work teams. The question that defined this research study was “How can work team communication...

...prize in physics in 1981, was once asked what, in his opinion, made the difference between highly creative and less creative scientists. He replied, "The labor of love aspect is important. The most successful scientists often are not the most talented. But they are the ones who are impelled by curiosity. They've got to know what the answer is."' Schawlow's insights about scientific creativity highlight the importance of intrinsic motivation: the motivation to work on something because it is interesting, involving, exciting, satisfying, or personally challenging. There is abundant evidence that people will be most creative when they are primarily intrinsically motivated, rather than extrinsically motivated by expected evaluation, surveillance, competition with peers, dictates from superiors, or the promise of rewards.^ Interestingly, this Intrinsic Motivation Principle of Creativity applies not only to scientific creativity, but to business creativity as well. Often, financial success is closely tied to a passion for the work itself. Michael Jordan, who by the mid-1990s was the most financially successful basketball player in history, insisted on a "love of the game" clause in his contract—securing for him the right to play in "pick-up" games whenever he wished. Robert Carr, a primary developer of the first pen computer, was captivated by the opportunity to do something spectacular that had never been done before. When entrepreneur Jerry Kaplan described the idea to him, Carr reacted...

The author in this column describes this work in two formats. Essential details of two areas of research are presented in episodic form—the first is work on secondary analysis of Roy model-based research over 40 years and the author’s study of persons’ cognitive recovery from mild head injury.The second is a project on re-conceptualizing coping and adaptation processing in sequential detail within the context of work in the field and the significance of on-going work for nursing practice. Keywords adaptation, coping, middle-range theory, research, Roy adaptation model The story of research based on the Roy adaptation model (RAM) can be told in many ways. When asked to write about research based on the RAM in the past 25 years I considered the major events of those years and also how to organize a description of the resulting research. First, I considered that it was 20 years ago that the first group presented a synthesis and critique of studies based on the RAM by five different ...

...The main goal of nursing practice is to provide the patient with the best quality care possible. Therefore, there are tools aimed to track if this is being true in the health care setting. A quality indicator is an evidence-based measure of health care quality, which has been obtained from comparative data in regard to the organizational framework of nursing care, the nursing process, and the outcomes obtained (NDNQI, 2010) In other words, these indicators are a reflection of the quality of the nursing staff, and how assessments and interventions are being performed. It is important to count with these indicators since they provide standardized means by which the performance of nursing care can be evaluated and to identify potential needs for...

...Mitigation Strategies and Solutions SCI-275 Mitigation Strategies and Solutions There are many environmental problems that are present because of humankind’s impact within this world. Each of the environmental problems that we create is not only impacting the source where the problem is but they are also impacting other problems within this environment. For example using oil for automobiles and to create electricity is not only reducing the resources of oil and creating an energy problem on this planet they are also creating atmospheric pollution. A single change in a positive or negative way can have an effect on many other factors of this environment. In order to create positive change there needs to be proper research and education into what changes will have the best impact on this planet. The cost of the change will always be a factor but humankind needs to consider; is the cost of change a bigger factor than the change itself. There needs to be real consideration for the impact that we have over the environment by our actions and not the cost of what it will take to make a positive impact; the longer humankind takes to make positive changes the more it will inevitable cost to make those changes. The different environmental problems at this point in time that impact this planet are all linked; they all break down to how much carbon dioxide we are producing on this planet. Carbon dioxide is produced by using nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal and has...

...Care ------------------------------------------------- Abstract ------------------------------------------------- This paper explores the linking of patient satisfaction with nursing care from three measurement instruments to include the BERNCA (Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care) scale for rationing of care, the RPPE (Revised Professional Practice Environment) scale to explore nurses’ perceptions of their work environment and the Patient Satisfaction scale. This article suggests that there is a correlation between the variables among the organization and environment, care rationing and patient satisfaction that influence patient outcomes. (Papastavrou, Andreou, Tsangari, and Merkouris, 2014). It defines that rationing of nursing care appears as an organizational difficulty, associated with the way nurses perceive environmental constraints of practicing their profession and it is linked with patient outcomes such as patient satisfaction from nursing care. (Papastravrou, et al, 2014). ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Keywords: Nursing care, Rationing, Patient satisfaction, Professional environment ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ...
