data collection procedures. The results of the analyses for the four research questions and their corresponding hypotheses are also provided in this chapter.

Summary

Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationships between the religiosity and the leadership practices of organizational leaders. Regression analysis was performed for leadership practices on religiosity as well as various demographic variables Statistical analysis was used tovarious demographic variables. Statistical analysis was used to determine the reliability and validity of the survey instruments and the power of the sample size of this study. The research may be applicable in other organizational and research settings. The administration of the survey instruments, the data collection process, the statistical

analyses of the collected data and the results of the analysesanalyses of the collected data, and the results of the analyses for the four research questions and their corresponding hypotheses were also presented in this chapter. Chapter 4 described the research design, the data analysis, and results of the four research questions and eight hypotheses.

Regression analysis showed religion to be a more significant predictor of leadership practices than religiosity. For Christian organizational leaders, a small but significant linear relationship was found g pbetween religiosity and leadership practices. In contrast, religiosity played an insignificant role in explaining the leadership practices of Muslim participants. The demographic analysis showed that gender age type of industry size of organization

A QUANTITATIVE CORRELATION STUDY OF INDIVIDUALISM-COLLECTIVISM

AND EMPLOYEE INNOVATION


IN TURKEY

The purpose of this quantitative correlation study was to determine the extent to

which a relationship exists between cultural values, such as individualism-collectivism,

and employee innovation, as mediated by leadership practices, in employees of

organizations in Turkey. One hundred and seventeen participants voluntarily completed a

survey that consisted of 10 demographic questions and 54 questions that measured

participant cultural orientation and perceptions of leadership and creativity. Leaders of

organizations recognize that employee creativity and innovation creates a source of

competitive advantage. This research study provided an understanding of specific

characteristics of Turkish culture and employee perceptions of leadership practices and

personal creativity, and should assist leaders in making innovation actionable in Turkish

organizations.

This chapter provides a review of the research process used in this study including

the research questions and hypotheses that formed the basis for the study, the

i t t ti d d li bl t ti f i t t ti b bj t ttinstrumentation used, and applicable testing of instrument questions by a subject matter

testing panel. Method of data collection is summarized and a visual depiction of the

research design map is provided. The data analysis section presents study findings and


the statistical analysis of the research questions and corresponding hypotheses.

SummaryChapter 4 began with a restatement of the

purpose of the research study and a description of participants who responded to the study survey. p p p y yThe research questions and hypotheses were reviewed and the research process was summarized. The steps used in developing the instrumentation, use of the SME panel, and translation process were reviewed The data


translation process were reviewed. The data collection process was described and a revised research design map was presented.

All of the null hypotheses in the study were rejected.

Correlation analyses, using Spearman’s rho, presented significant relationships between many of the study variables. The use of one‐way ANOVA and Tukey post‐hoc tests indicated that there were significant differences intests indicated that there were significant differences in means between the regions in the study. Correlations and regional differences were presented and included variable descriptions to place results within a clear context.

Chapter 5 concludes the research with a summary of data analysis and findings. Implications for leaders of


y g porganizations and leaders of Turkish employees are addressed. The chapter is completed with leadership recommendations and considerations for future studies.

Exploring the Experiences of Complementary Therapy Nurses:A Qualitative Phenomenological

Study


The purpose of this qualitative study with a phenomenological research design was

to explore the experiences of the nurses practicing complementary therapies and

determine if the nurses’ perceived scope of care is satisfying to their professional

practice The results were intended to describe the shared practices and commonpractice. The results were intended to describe the shared practices and common

meanings found in the lived experiences of nurses and could assist nursing

leadership in determining opportunities to promote satisfaction in the nursing

profession. The Neuman Systems Model proposed was a prevention intervention


concept that identified the secondary prevention intervention allowing for the

introduction of increasing nurses’ scope of practice with the inclusion of

complementary nursing care practices to provide a balance identified as nursing

satisfaction.

The hermeneutic phenomenological study occurred through collecting and analyzing 16

nurses who described their professional experiences. The Nurses’ Perception Interview

Guide was pilot tested with five nurses for test question reliability. All participants

(100%) who contributed data included nurses at the study site who completed education

in complementary therapies and integrated these therapies into their nursing practice Thein complementary therapies and integrated these therapies into their nursing practice. The

study included interviews of 16 nurses practicing complementary therapies at the single

study site and text was hermeneutically analyzed in the Heideggerian tradition of

interactive and simultaneous process of interpretive inquiry toward the goal of explaining

nurses’ experiences. Moustakas (1994) noted that perception is the foundation of


knowledge in phenomenological study. By grouping experiences, validating the

information, and creating new found meanings in the experiences allows for

identification of the phenomenon (Moustakas).

Chapter 4 presents the findings of the pilot and research. The chapter includes the research questions, pilot test of the questions, data collection procedures, demographic information, interview results, recurring themes, and chapter summary. Major themes and sub-themes


summary. Major themes and sub themes were identified and grouped in order of significance. The chapter will conclude with the summary of findings.

Conclusion

Chapter 4 presented the finding of the study beginning with the pilot study review of demographics and pilot study outcomes of the five participants. The study demographics provided descriptions of 16 participants g p p p p pfollowed by the processes used for data collection. All procedures used to analyze collected data was described that included audio digital recording, transcription, hard copy review, and participant approval of transcribed text before data was analyzed with NVivo8 software. Saturation

was determined following the review of 13 interviews with comparative review of an additional three interviews. Four major themes, each with sub themes, were presented in subsequent sections accompanied by data text that exemplified the patterns of participants’ experiences.

Chapter 5 will culminate this dissertation with discussion that includes ideas and considerations that resulted from the review of the research data and further benefits this study may provide for healthcare leadership. The discussion of major themes and sub themes will further explore the current and ongoing challenges in nursing satisfaction and the implications on nursing retention in this era of healthcare, workforce instability.
