As the nurse executive, discuss your vision that you would like to implement for the organizational structure at SLMC. Share your rationale. How would you incorporate aspects of the person-centred nursing framework into your vision? Using motivational theory, discuss your strategies, as the nurse executive, for creating a motivating climate and atmosphere that supports a more positive work environment.

As the nurse executive at SLMC, my vision for the organizational structure would be to create a flatter, more decentralized structure that empowers frontline nursing staff to make decisions and take actions that support person-centered care. This structure would enable nursing staff to be more involved in the design and implementation of care processes, promoting greater ownership and accountability for the care they deliver.

Incorporating the person-centered nursing framework would be a key component of my vision. This framework places the person at the center of care, with a focus on individual needs, preferences, and values. By incorporating this framework into the organizational structure, we can ensure that the care we deliver is individualized and responsive to the unique needs and preferences of each patient.

To create a motivating climate and atmosphere that supports a positive work environment, I would use several motivational theories, including Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs suggests that people have a hierarchy of needs, ranging from basic physiological needs to self-actualization. To create a motivating climate, I would ensure that nursing staff have access to the resources and support they need to meet their basic physiological and safety needs, such as appropriate staffing levels, adequate equipment, and safe working conditions. I would also encourage opportunities for professional growth and development, allowing nursing staff to work towards their self-actualization needs.

Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory suggests that job satisfaction is influenced by two sets of factors: hygiene factors, such as salary and working conditions, and motivators, such as recognition and growth opportunities. To create a motivating climate, I would focus on both hygiene factors and motivators. I would ensure that nursing staff are fairly compensated, have access to benefits, and work in a safe and comfortable environment. Additionally, I would recognize and reward nursing staff for their contributions and encourage opportunities for growth and development.

In conclusion, my vision for the organizational structure at SLMC is to create a flatter, more decentralized structure that empowers nursing staff to deliver person-centered care. To create a motivating climate and atmosphere, I would use motivational theories such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory to ensure that nursing staff have access to the resources, support, and recognition they need to deliver high-quality care and thrive in their roles.
