Actions of prior scholars’ work:

The following are some of the actions of prior scholars’ work on the effects of teamwork on job satisfaction in nursing staff:

Kalisch et al. (2010) found that nursing staff who worked in teams had higher levels of job satisfaction than those who did not work in teams.
Aiken et al. (2002) found that hospitals with higher levels of teamwork had lower rates of patient mortality.
West et al. (2005) found that nursing staff who received training in teamwork had higher levels of job satisfaction and were more likely to stay in their jobs.
These studies suggest that teamwork can have a positive impact on job satisfaction in nursing staff. Further research is needed to determine the most effective ways to promote teamwork in nursing settings.
