Logistiek managers zijn grofweg in drie smaken te verdelen, zo blijkt uit onderzoek van Muhammed Akbas. De indeling bepaalt hoe managers aankijken tegen logistieke vraagstukken bij hun bedrijf en hoe ze handelen.

De effectiviteit van managers is recentelijk weer volop in de aandacht gekomen. Dit onderzoek wil een bijdrage leveren aan deze discussie door de tijdbesteding van Nederlandse managers empirisch in kaart te brengen. De effectiviteit, de toegevoegde waarde die managers leveren door het aansturen van werkzaamheden van medewerkers, wordt inzichtelijk gemaakt door een meting die is gebaseerd op een klassieke typering van activiteiten. Het onderzoek concludeert dat Nederlandse managers over het algemeen effectief opereren, maar hiervoor wel een relatief groot aantal arbeidsuren nodig hebben. We suggereren dat de productiviteit (effectiviteit gedeeld door het aantal arbeidsuren) van de managers kan worden verhoogd door het toepassen van managerial trainingen en organisatorische ontwerpen waarin de afname van fragmentatie en de toename van delegatie en compressie van werkzaamheden centraal staan. Hiermee kan de effectiviteit van managers stijgen zonder dat hun aantal arbeidsuren hoeft toe te nemen.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and impact of peer-to-peer shadowing as a technique to develop nurse middle managers’ clinical leadership practices. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to gain insight into the experiences of nurse middle managers using semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed into codes using constant comparison and similar codes were grouped under sub-themes and then into four broader themes. Peer-to-peer shadowing facilitates collective reflection-in-action and enhances an “investigate stance” while acting. Nurse middle managers begin to curb the caring disposition that unreflectively urges them to act, to answer the call for help in the here and now, focus on ad hoc “doings”, and make quick judgements. Seeing a shadowee act produces, via a process of social comparison, a behavioural repertoire of postponing reactions and refraining from judging. Balancing the act of stepping in and doing something or just observing as well as giving or withholding feedback are important practices that are difficult to develop.

A Magnet-related program has been recently adopted in the Netherlands. Support for staff nurses from nurse middle managers (NMMs) is a key component of such a program. A Bourdieusian ethnographic organizational case study in 4 hospitals in the Netherlands and the United States (Magnet, Magnet-related, and non-Magnet) was conducted to explore NMMs' supporting role behavior. Bourdieus concepts of habitus, field, and capital guided the analysis. Eight dispositions constitute NMMs habitus. A caring, clinical, and scientific disposition enhances NMMs' capital in particular organizations-as-fields. Further research is necessary to link Magnet (-related) program characteristics to various configurations of dispositions of NMMs habitus.

Verpleegkundige middenmanagers verkeren in een ideale positie om patiëntgecentreerde zorg te faciliteren. Hun bijdrage is echter onderbelicht inde literatuurd, omdat dit in de praktijk moeilijk te verwoorden is. In dit artikel wordt bestudeerd hoe in ziekenhuizen middenmanagers aan de patiëntgecentreerde zorg bijdragen. Hierbij werd een combinatie gebruikt van analyse van tijdsbesteding an etnografisch werk, om op microniveau de bijdrage van de middenmanagers aan patiëntgecentreerde zorg te bekijken. Zestien managers werden gedurende 560 uur geschaduwd tijden hun werk in vier ziekenhuizen.

Detecting practical problems of persons with dementia (PwD) experience at home, and advising them on solutions to facilitate aging in place are complex and challenging tasks for nurses and case managers. In this two group randomized, controlled laboratory experiment, the efficacy of a decision support application aiming to increase nurses' and case managers' confidence in clinical judgment and decision-making was tested. The participants (N = 67) assessed a case of a PwD within the problem domains: self-reliance, safety and informal care, and provided suggestions for possible solutions. Participants used either their regular procedure with (intervention group) or without the App (control group) to conduct these tasks. No statistically significant difference was found on the primary outcome measure, the overall level of confidence. However, nurses and case managers highly recommended use of the App in practice. To explain these results, more research on the potential added value of the App is needed.

In een eerder stuk stelde ik de vraag wat logistiek managers nou verstaan onder maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen. Ik schreef dat de meesten people boven planet stellen. Logistiek managers hebben liever mensen met een afstand tot de arbeidsmarkt in het magazijn dan zonnepanelen op het dak. Medemenselijkheid is key.

Nurse managers play an important role in implementing patient safety practices in hospitals. However, the influence of their professional background on their clinical leadership behaviour remains unclear. Research has demonstrated that concepts of Bourdieu (dispositions of habitus, capital and field) help to describe this influence. It revealed various configurations of dispositions of the habitus in which a caring disposition plays a crucial role. Objectives: We explore how the caring disposition of nurse middle managers' habitus influences their clinical leadership behaviour in patient safety practices.
