Addressing employer reluctance to employ nurse managers in a job-sharing capacity, the aim of this paper is to explore job sharing among nurse managers. The literature highlighted potential fragmentation of leadership, breakdown of communication and higher costs as issues, with the retention of experienced highly motivated managers identified as an advantage. A staff survey explored whether the job-sharing arrangement trialled in a day surgery setting by two nurse managers was successful compared with similar roles held by full-time managers. This paper suggests that nurse managers can successfully job share. Overall, this paper recommends that employers consider a job-sharing arrangement when they wish to retain experienced nurse managers, and highlights aspects that can enhance a successful outcome.
为解决雇主不愿雇佣兼职护士经理的问题,本文旨在探讨护士经理之间的工作分担情况。文献强调了领导力的潜在分散、沟通中断和成本增加等问题,同时指出保留经验丰富、积极性高的经理是一项优势。一项员工调查探讨了两位护士经理在日间手术科室试行的工作分担安排与全职经理担任的类似职位相比是否成功。本文表明护士经理可以成功地进行工作分担。总体而言,本文建议雇主在希望留住经验丰富的护士经理时考虑工作分担安排,并强调了可提高成功几率的方面。
